    5 Ton 923A2 Slowly ran out of Fuel

    Use a 10mm wrench and open the bleeder on the back side of the injection pump and pump that button until a constant stream of fluid comes out. I recommend putting in a schrader valve on the fuel cap and pressurizing the fuel system gently to find leaks (if any) also you can avoid pumping...

    Arlington Texas 5-Ton Mechanic Needed

    If I was closer I'd be game but it sounds like you have bad fuel lines. Very easy to do. Just put a schrader valve on the fuel cap, pressurize, and you'll find the problem. No Soldier B required. :roll:

    M1082 trailer manual, anyone got it in PDF?

    I've noticed this too, a deuce may do the job if the trailer is unloaded but a 5 ton is what should be pulling it. I've also had a lot of ticklishness with the brakes on all 3 of my 1082s so I just caged them all and even then they need a little bump to get moving.

    M1082 trailer manual, anyone got it in PDF?

    You can cage the brakes like any commercial truck or trailer, you will need 4 nuts and bolts to do the 4 chambers (2 per wheel) which look slightly different from this commercial one but the steps are the same. http://www.beamalarm.com/Documents/caging_air_brakes.html

    Michelin 395/85/20 blowout

    Also note that none of these have runflats in them like all the 395s on MRAPs. I'd like to see how those go..

    This for the HEMTT?

    My 5 ton was making a funny noise and now it won't start....

    Depends what you can get an engine for? I get used running 250s for under a grand around here, maybe it's worth it to you but what's your end game? Toy or $$? If it's a toy then put something else in it like a 6CTA (I've always wanted to see what that would be like in an M809 truck) but if it's...

    It's still 92% there and that's still an A!

    FYI. GovPlanet no longer allows partial payments on items $5k+

    Disappointing to say the least, maybe this will cause prices to drop when people can't pay with CC's. :whistle:

    You've got some of my small stuff that could come this way. I don't know if it's worth it really.

    M923A1 vs M923A2

    I've had 50+ trucks of all the variants and I agree "there's no replacement for displacement"..unless you're trying to make that 250 climb a hill, tow a load, at highway speed, at high altitude, etc.. pick two and it's a turd. Now the 400 is a monster but that's not a fair comparison. Yes, the...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Hood swap on the gun truck, a love dent from the RRAD program.

    GP did that last year out of Riley. I got two for that price or less. That was crazy..

    So I'm Thinking 10 Ton

    That's a rare setup and neat that it all works but putting it into recovery service will be a stretch if it has any on-road driving to do. Yes the over width is an issue but as is the low top speed of 43 mph, couple this with low MPG (TM shows 300-350 miles per 2 tanks of 83 gallons each for a...

    M813 ECB bypass

    Sounds like a solenoid was stuck in the replacement box. 939 series boxes work with the M809 trucks but not vice versa but that doesn't seem to be the issue here. At the moment there is no permanent workaround besides replacing the relays, the box, or jumping the truck manually at this time...

    M939A2 5 Ton No Start / No run

    I've got tested used PCBs in the classifieds as well. Plenty of options out there to tackle this common problem.
