    the older trucks had a drag link with an end on it and an adjustable rod end on the other end. When mine failed I replaced it with a nos unit found on e-bay.

    if you take one to napa they should be able to take some measurements to get you the right one. At one time I had the part numbers but have since lost them napa did have them available in warehouses in the lower 48.

    New guy here (again): Can I pull a pup dump trailer with M939? Air brake question...

    2 things additional if you are going to pull a pup you will want to add some weight in the back as a fully loaded pup will weigh twice as much as your 5 ton. You will have to add hydraulics with a capacity large enough to run a telescoping ram. One final thought you might want to add a Johnson...

    rear windows for the m1078

    If you don't want it to shatter better use lexan , acrylic will shatter. If you buy the gasket from the glass shop cutting your safety glass, they will know how much to allow for the gasket. All you will need is a good template of the opening.

    Is my M813 sprag sticking?

    Diesel 911 is methonal and only for emergancys to attempt to thaw water if you are trying to lower the cloud point than use the powerservice conditioner in the white can. The conditioner will hold water in suspension and you can use it in a double dose to get the cloud point below -5
