    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I can see Clint, in his best Cornholio voice, shirt up over his head, pretending to ask the guy at NAPA for an eternal filter. “I am Cornholio, I need eternal filter for my go-go!”

    M1082 trailer manual, anyone got it in PDF?

    Ha, yeah. You were lucky. On two of mine, the guys gently set 1101’s on top of my 1082’s (saved me two trips) They still sit there until I build a gantry to remove them.

    M1082 trailer manual, anyone got it in PDF?

    Rory, wasnt trying to call you out, just wanted to save people the anguish I went through. And you bring up an excellent point that I forgot about. Handles!!! They are all gone, stolen, borrowed, never to be returned again, etc. Those guys did do a good job of scoring a box of handles for me...

    M1082 trailer manual, anyone got it in PDF?

    I agree with almost everything you said. A couple things I would like to point out for potential buyers to keep them out of trouble. They do not cage ALL the brakes at Hood. Of all 4 trailers I got, none were caged 3 were locked up badly with bad air leaks and I had to find (or bring) bolts...

    M1082 trailer manual, anyone got it in PDF?

    I have picked up four of them from Hood. (1082’s) One of them worked properly. The other three had leaks in exactly the same places. I believe all three need the same part replaced. I can’t download the TM (Thank you for finding it!) so, I can’t tell you what part it is that needs to be...

    M923 roof cargo rack/ platform

    You have the hard part down, the contact points. And these are sturdy contact points too! Now, just build the rack!

    12 volt towing box

    No, I have 3 trucks, a couple M923A2’s one is ready to leave in a weeks time, the other one is fine, I just don’t have as many miles behind the wheel to “know” it as well, and a 931A2 that I just got that I wouldn’t take far from home just yet! Still learning this truck, but it seems to be a...

    Clint, why are you picking fights with the internet again. You aren’t even keeping this engine!

    So, the 250’s have no compressor parts to break? Who knew!

    M925a2 Power Surge

    That’s a picture of how he plans on lowering the engine into the truck. He’s trying. Give him some credit. Here are some people amazed by balloons. I want some action in this thread. Here ya go.

    12 volt towing box

    Rusty, I love it! It’s design, execution, location, function. Man, you nailed it. It looks great, and, of course, I’m going to assume it works great too. Well done Rusty, well done indeed! I have come up with a plan on how to accompany you on the Alaska Trip, but I need another truck from...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I don’t know how you are able to drive the miles you drive and still do the work you do on top of it. I miss being young young and having energy like that! Sounds like a good solution. You could just epoxy it in place, paint it green and nobody would know the difference. Do you find tinting...

    M925a2 Power Surge

    4-07-17 engine for sale 11-16-17 engine still in truck. You could litetaly make a real live person (9 months gestation) in less time than it will take this engine swap to happen. Just sayin. Think about that. Carry on gentlemen.

    Just got M916A3

    I would like to see pics of the inside of this truck or anyone’s truck, if possible. I’m used to the 939A2’s and that all I have experience with. I’d like to see what 18 years does to the inside of a military rig. Thanks.

    24 Volt auxiliary lighting

    I built a nice relay panel so I’m going to use it! I have push button reset breakers beside the switches that control the light. I use trailer wiring. I bought a long run of 7/12 - 7 wires 6 are 12 ga and 1 is 10 ga. They are the same color as 7/14 or 7/16 ga trailer wiring so I can stay...

    M925a2 Power Surge

    Yaaaawwwwnn!!! ..... and when does all this happen? Do we have to reach 50 pages before it gets put in the truck? If we are lucky. So, what’s the hold up this time???

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I changed the fuel line on all 3 of my trucks to a braided steel line. (A2’s) They all fire up immediately. I had one sit from January until October. Took about two seconds to start. I was amazed. It’s the first mod I do on a new truck other than the fact that they all usually need new...

    Hello new to the site , trying to read all the right posts to start with .

    If you are using it on a farm, I assume you have farm exempt status, this should save you some of the taxes paid to the auction site. You will still have to pay tax when you register it, but, there is some savings on the auction side.
