    Wait.... thats all the further you have gotten on this project?!?!? You dont even have the motor and trans mounted yet for driving thr trailers axles. i would say run a shart A into a 5x5 heavy wall tube into the pintel.

    MV of the Month Nominations Dec 2017

    you know i have a very bad memory of one of those **** things.... I destroyed an entire connex with one of those on the inside. Got too close to a wall. The load was to heavy and it slid against the wall. I acted like a spoiled little kid through a temper tantrum and destroyed the connex trying...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Hey Wes on that aluminum angle my truck has so old petrified seals down the channel. Did you run into that issue? I need to take another 1/8 off one leg yet but the chilly air chased me back into the heated garage for other projects.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    We cant get crap for snow the past few years. Just brutal cold and windy. Well the day had come... the 923 has been completed!!!! The ac is charged and working great. We hit a massive road block yesterday when trying to get the system charged. I have been asked by the owner not to say...

    Looking for list of recommended tools

    Thats why 2 jacks may be needed. Jack up on frame till you can get under axle. Or drive the flat tire up on a 4x4 or 6x6. To raise the entire truck so the jack will fit. I made mine out of 2x8 boards and stacked them in a pyramid formation. Works great.

    The New Guy !

    Welcome. Start your own thread introducing yourself and your truck. As to not knowing how to shift the truck i would HIGHLY recommend reading the tm's before even touching that truck. These are big heavy and dangerous if operated by someone who doesnt know what they are doing. But yes you...

    M925A2 Trailer Made From M923A1 Truck

Worste ive had happen was a steep hill up for tractor after coming down a steep hill so mower and tractor are in a V shape. Turned to tight tire caught the shaft and draw bar. No real damage just...

    M925A2 Trailer Made From M923A1 Truck

    booooooo!!!! Why waste your time making just another trailer? When you can make it overly complex and difficult to service but still have the most awesomeness of trailers rolling around. Just think you blow your ring and pinnion in those wimpy 5 ton rockwells in the middle of brown bear...

    The article on the right has a pic of humvee... but the article is correct. Tm will have proper routing of hoses as well.

    Cooling upgrade system.

    Hp and tq gain is probably and most likely a bogus claim. Diesels do love to be hot in the cylinders (with in reason) but for longevity and better cooling i dont see how this wouldnt work. Isnt this guy who pissing and moaning the same one who through a fit about wait times on getting the...

    M925A2 Trailer Made From M923A1 Truck

    If you are running a shaft off the rear axle drive flange why would you have rpm issues? Maybe im thinking wrong but the shaft speed would be on the money to run to the trailers acxles that would have the same gearing, so its no differnet than just adding a couple axles to the oroginal trucks...

    M925A2 Trailer Made From M923A1 Truck

    Im thinkin you being a hydraulic loving fella. Why not run quick connects on the back of the truck and run hydraulic motor hooked to the shaft on the trailer. How one would find the proper rpm and get it to mesh with the trucks is beyond me. Thats fur yous smurt fellers. or you know. Just run...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Yes they do. Issue is the 923 is maxed out maybe try shimming the top out is what i will try next. another question for the dually guys. What are you running air wise in the g177 tires? That truck has the worste ride i have ever been in. I was gonna drop them to 35 psi and try that. Those 177...
