my m62 is a 1953 and it was converted to a multifuel. i just paid 5000 last year, it did blow a head gasket and i paid 700 to get it home. so, i guess i paid more around 5000 plus 700 plus gaskets and head work. jim

Thanks for the offer Aaron Horrocks. My uncle is in the market for a deuce and I would like another 5 ton. My wife wont let me get it right now, and I was haveing a hard time finding reasonably priced trucks in the central valley (California). My next thought was to get two trucks off of...

What is the approximate cost for shipping a 5 ton 350 miles? What company would be recommended to use in california? Would a flatbed or lowboy be able to transport two 5 tons, how about one 5 ton and one 2.5 ton? I understand that two dueces would be ok. Are there any problems with not...

Thanks for the replies, i liked the comment about not towing anything i wouldnt put my kids in the truck with me during the tow. I did tow a vehicle last month that i thought the exact thing, I left the kids at home, and i had no fun during the tow. Everything turned out well, but it was a...

when towing a 5 ton with another 5 ton do you have to connect both the service and emergency air lines? what do the two different air lines run? if you are towing a 5 ton with questionable brakes, if the towed vehicles air line fails, will both the towing and towed rig loose air assisted...

thank you all for the advice. i wouldnt have bought the truck if i didnt have a resource like this. i lifted the front end off of the floor and tested the sprag. it worked as described. i then thought it would be good to change the oil in the transfer case. the color was good, but there...

would the sprag be the weak link in the front drive system? i was also wondering could it be a drive shaft. i am going to check the front drive system. i was planning on lifting the front, putting it in first and then turning off the truck. if the front can spin, then i would assume...

I took the wrecker out on friday to get diesel. I couldnt put it in fifth gear because the engine would lug down and then i would have to go back in fourth gear. i live at sea level with no hills. When i got across town by the gas station i was noticing a pulling from the front, it would...

i want to repaint my truck. i have painted many vehicles, but never with carc. do i have to use carc for the paint to adhere? what other kinds of paint could i use? if i bead blast the paint do i need to be very worried about the carc dust? thanks jim

who should i contact to buy a set of data plates for a m62a2. i have tried mvdataplates, and made a few other phone calls. it seems like there is not a single place to order all the plates i want. thanks jim

i think this would classify as resurecting an old thread. i have a m62 with a multifuel. were all m62s gas? my tranny is in the normal pattern. that is with 5th in the bottom right. it is my understanding that the diesels and multifuels came with 5th at the top right. would that mean...

the use of gear oil in the tranny is ok, but i dont understand the gl-5 with the ml rating statement. sorry for my ignorance. i usually only have to be told once or twice before it sinks in. thank you for the help, jim

i am getting conflicting info on tranny fluid for a 5 ton multi fuel tranny. some are saying to use 10 wt oil, which some say is the same as hydrolic fluid. some say to use 80 to 90 wt oil. which is gear oil. some say to use tranny fluid, which i assume is just tranny fluid. is there a...
