    Installing lockers in a 5t

    I would also be interested in one for the front if there were no modifications needed and the CTIS is not affected. After posting, I just realized you didn't want to split the set up. Sorry.

    ARB 5 ton locker

    Looking back through this post, I counted 24 people that said they would be interested in at least 1 locker. Just curious, did all of you send your info to TMG? For whatever reason, my subscription to this thread didn't tell me there were more responses so luckily this one came up while I was...

    Disabling the 5-Ton Front Axle Auto-Locking-In-Low-Range Device.

    I removed the arm on mine this past weekend. Took me less than 5 minutes and that included crawling under the truck to see what tool I needed, back out to get the allen wrench and then back under again. Piece of cake! The arm seemed much easier to do than the washer method but that is just my...

    Going to Lennon, MI 10-31-15.

    This is kind of short notice but I am going to Lennon, MI to pick up some items from smittyjr355. I should have some trailer room if anyone needs something. I can get it back to the Indianapolis area, specifically Rushville if you want to split the costs. I can also store some items for a while...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I installed a radio and a dome light this week. While I enjoy listening to the whine of the turbo, I have to have some music too. I just happened to have this speaker laying around that wasn't being used. It fit perfectly wedged between the wiper motors and the roof. It sounds surprisingly good...

    EGT, boost and fuel pressure gauge install complete

    I haven't driven it much since installing the gauges but 1100 has been the highest EGT I have seen so far and around 20 on the boost. The EGTs seem pretty good but the boost seems low. Maybe that is normal for these trucks? In my 5.9 I can easily hit 40 with my foot into it a bit. What boost is...

    EGT, boost and fuel pressure gauge install complete

    I have been working on this for a few weeks now, it has taken me a while to collect all the parts and pieces I needed so I thought I would share with you all to give others ideas if they are looking to do the same thing. I ordered the Glowshift 3 gauge set (1500 EGT, 60 PSI Boost & 30 PSI fuel...

    Fuel pressure sensor install

    Thanks for the quick reply. I will use that location then. That should be easier than any of my bright ideas!

    Fuel pressure sensor install

    I am installing some new gauges, EGT, boost and fuel pressure. I have found some info on here where others have installed the EGT and Boost but can't seem to find anything about the fuel pressure. Should this go before the small filter shown as 3 below or after the filter as shown in 1 or 2? If...

    M923 Installed wet kit and Hoist with auxilary hydraulics

    Nice job. Which hoist did you go with? It looks like a "power hoist" brand. I would be very interested in knowing more about the hoist itself as I would like to add one to mine. I am looking at the power hoist 620 or 625 but when I was doing some pre measuring based on info on their site, I...

    Coolant filter setup

    I am installing a coolant filter today along with a block heater. I know there are several threads on others that have done it and I have read through most. The easiest way for my setup is to use the hose going from the trans cooler to the block. I think I can remove where it attaches to the...

    How does the shutter stat work?

    I wish you would have posted this about 4 days ago! I just paid $255 for a NOS. I would have been willing to try this other one. Anyway, my new one is installed and no more air leaks. Hopefully this one works as it should but I probably won't know until Haspin in Sept.

    How does the shutter stat work?

    Just to add a little more info, there was air leaking around the plunger, even when it was protruding out the back. Both times, it went back in where it was flush with the end but still leaked air. The first time I know for sure that once the plunger went back in, air started coming out of the...

    How does the shutter stat work?

    Thanks Swamp. I tried pushing in it with a flat head screwdriver but I did not apply much force. I wasn't sure what was going on so I did not want to damage it.

    How does the shutter stat work?

    Rosco, when you say What does that mean? How do I find out? I know my fan is free because it turns in the wind while sitting with the hood open. Thanks for the link Stone. I have read that thread along with several others previously and while it was informative, it didn't really answer what I...

    How does the shutter stat work?

    A few weeks ago, my shutter stat started leaking air out of the little pin hole. I replaced the two smaller orings and the larger black one this week. I took it out for a drive and it seemed to work or at least it didn't leak air. The truck never gets over 160 with normal driving to I thought...
