    Make it quiet. Lower decibel level M809

    I have a soft top. It's insulated but it needs replaced. The fabric of it has gotten thin and is getting harder to repair. There isn't much room for the exhaust to go under the truck but I'm not counting that out yet. I ordered some 80 mil noico, like dynamat. After I set some baseline numbers...

    Make it quiet. Lower decibel level M809

    It's never going to be quiet but it needs to be quieter. I have added a turbo and Jakes to my M818. The muffler was removed to make room for the turbo. The exhaust is straight through. I've had it this way almost 2 years. I got a decibel meter to see how load it really is. I played with it...

    Headlights and park lights

    No problem. Jumpering the wires has worked well for me for years. I wasn't sure if the post with the wire diagram was on the old site or made it here. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Been using a biodiesel blend for over 10 years. Uncle is saving the planet!

    M925A2 snow plow install

    I wouldn't attach anything to the front axle. Too much movement. The axle shouldn't have anything pushing against the front of it. The push frames that go to the axle, go under it and push up, pivoting on pins on the front bumper. Maybe another brace to the frame toward the rear

    M925A2 snow plow install

    Those ends are bought pieces. You just weld your tube to them. They may be forged, stronger than cast. Wing plow brackets use them a lot.

    M925A2 snow plow install

    I wouldn't bother with chains if your keeping it on asphalt. Unless your doing some steep mountain pass or something.

    M925A2 snow plow install

    You have hydraulics already? Bed lift. Also your hydraulic power pack can be plumbed to allow both lift and angle. Either manually by swapping quick connects on the bumper or add an electric diverter valve. I had a Deuce that I made a similar mount for, I used the winch to raise and lower. It...

    Breaking Spring Brake tubes

    Another possibility! Do you think your rear brake relay valve is going bad and causing compounding brake forces? The spring brake and foot brake should not apply at the same time.

    LED Gauge Panel Backlighting Upgrade

    Better pics of what? I purposely took those photos in a dark setting with no flash. The camera was held at the same distance away from the panel for both. The M44 and M809 series trucks are dark compared to any newer trucks.

    Breaking Spring Brake tubes

    Your transfer case being misaligned is creating a driveline vibration. It may not feel like much but I've seen the same thing break mounting tabs off for brake valves and crack leaf springs. Another common source for vibration is the driveshaft between the rears. It's always in a bind and hard...

    LED Gauge Panel Backlighting Upgrade

    I put the red ones in my M818. Got a before and after photo. It is more light with the LED bulbs. Before After

    ABS light and fried alternator linked?

    You could turn the power back on and see if your abs does the check again. Make sure your loose alt wires aren't touching anything
