    Winter Diesel Fuel Issues?

    I've found the local diesel, either at the pump or delivered in bulk, to be very inconsistent in regards to additives. Which strikes me as odd given the Dakotas. Whenever I put Power Service in my 5 ton and my tractors, I've never had an issue. I add it in the fall and it's super easy...

    Allison M916 + Mk48 Cab = 6x6 "FEMTT"

    I agree. This and a thread by WSUCougar are the TOP TWO threads on this site, in my opinion. Your fabrication work is beyond outstanding. More please. Al Jones M923 A Fabricator Wanna-Be

    AM General M934/A0/1 With ABS MWO - Dash Warning Light Burning Bright!!!

    :roll: I assume you are NOT referring to the on-board volt gauge. Those things...:roll::roll:. Use something you can believe like a volt meter. When I had issues with my ABS, I searched all the threads and the most common problem was a harness issue that were fixed by simply detaching...

    WSUCougar's M925A1 Acquisition and Build Thread

    I very much like your attention to detail. You definitely bring the M/V use/collecting up several notches. For anyone that hasn't read this tread from the beginning, get one or four beverages and start from post #1. It's infinitely better than any movie on tonight. I copied a lot of what is...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Switched out some very tired batteries. One bank lasted 6 years and one bank lasted 7. No complaints there. Whew, I'm getting old, I had to get a Soldier B to help lift them into the top bank. Took the NOCO about an hour to show all green. The 5 ton lit off, I'll bet, in a 1/4 turn. Now I...

    M923A1 with 4 six volt

    I hear ya. I caught myself disconnecting some the other day and my dog was turning his head from side to side. I agree, no need to disconnect. Al Jones M923

    Steering wheel fix

    I tried but I think you'll find sooner or later, a new SW is way to go. My just fell apart over the course of a year. Odd. I'm saving egg money to buy a new one. Al Jones with no SW happiness M923

    HET / M1070 To Pull The Sled this Thursday the 26th need advice!

    You're absolutely right. I just pulled this past weekend and for the boat to work as intended, your hitch has to be 18 to 20 inches from the ground (like a farm tractor). As stated above, hitch up and have fun! Al Jones M923 John Deere 4020 puller

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I run this one in my shop - and yes, they are pretty inexpensive. It's actually a heat pump. So if you use both an inlet hose and out hose out the window (instead of one hose scalping off air from the interior) it is more efficient. It does fine up to about 85 to 90 outside for me. My shop...

    5 ton turn signal switch

    Note there's a thread out there where you can "upgrade" to a self cancelling version. It's a little more $ that the regular one. Al Jones Brookings, SD M923

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Overhauled a jackshaft with new joints and shaft seal. I'll paint it tan but the unpainted shaft looked new (thanks to walnut shells). Al Jones M923, M38A1

    Towing With Bottom Brackets

    I'm looking for opinions and/or experiences of any 5 tons being towed (with the medium tow bar) with the tow brackets on the bottom of the bumper instead of the top. I have brackets on the top and bottom of my 5 ton front bumper and want to remove the top ones to mount something. I searched...

    You made me google that. And yes, I feel stupid. :roll::roll: Al Jones '07 M923

    Frying Alternators

    And for us do-it-yourself types, and if you are patient, I was able to pick up the dual Niefhoff unit for less than $100 (and that was shipped) and have found the regulators for around $30 a pop (patience again). Spun up fine of the testing machine (in fact, it stalled it). I'm installing it...

    NHC 250 head gasket problems...

    Thanks for posting. I already have the gasket set. Is there a number on your box for the head gasket by itself? Thanks again, Al Jones M923

    NHC 250 head gasket problems...

    I wanted to ask if the part number for the "correct" gasket in post 15 has the same part number as the "incorrect" one? I have a gasket set but it's the silver one with the bead around the outside, aka "incorrect". Having a part nubmer to get the correct gasket would really really help...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I made custom mounts for mine and was able to mount them a foot+ lower. That way I don't rake the top of the shop door when I'm pulling in... Al Jones Brookings, SD M923
