thanks SD, I actually bought three of them. We are using one as a traveling fund raiser. We are working with Mission 22 "The Mission 22 Truck" www.mission22truck.org That is one sweet 5-ton. Bought from a guy here on SS. one will likely be converted to a dump bed this year. And the third, I...

See, this is why we post questions. Nobody (including my ex military friend who is driving one of my 5 tons from Idaho to Texas with me ... yes, you William!) informed me that there was one TM that was more important to read than the others. Newbies don't know this. Smart ones ask questions...

This doesn't really smell like jet fuel. But I have never smelled JP-8 that I know of. Does it have a unique odor jet fuel doesn't? that certainly is a possibility.

Sort of what I was thinking. I couldnt find "What's that smell" in the TM. I am reading the TMs. Skimming it to find out where stuff is, picking up tidbits of knowledge here and there, but SS is a great place to ask about other people's experience. Smells, smoke, sounds. Things TMs don't tell you.

Thanks. I think I will drain the tank. Kind of sad. Half a tank of diesel. The smell is just too similar to that of bad gas, so, I think it's wise. Yes, it smokes when warm. I guess I'll just watch the oil level carefully. Fuel Filter says April '12. Its definitely time for a full service. I...

Ok, now, the smell. It's unique, but it's not a normal smell. Not oil, clutch smell, not transmission smell, not rubber, not electrical. We all know these smells. This is unique. I have had bad gas run through my Polaris ranger. It had a distinct smell. This almost smells like it ... but not...

Ok, finger in the hole. Bad idea. We have covered that. No blood, no harm done. I feel like I am trying to explain to my partents why jumping off the roof of the barn was fine because I didn't get hurt.

Wise words, one can not argue with. However, I have been sticking my fingers in strange holes all my life :D Well, mostly in my teens and 20's. Now, I just stick my finger in reeeeeeeeeeeeal slowly. Especially on machines. Only risk the tip, the part that can grow back! I had D7F for 8 years...

That's part of being new. You don't know anything yet. I'm learning and listening and smelling, and looking, and wondering. And asking questions.

Oh, forgot a pic! Here she is!

Ok, so, I'm like a new dad and every funny noise the baby makes worries me. Only this baby was abused for 25 years, so ... I am justified! First, it smells funny. I couldn't place it, but is it possible that the diesel has gone bad? Old fuel? Oil looks fine, probably needs to be changed...

I am almost done building a trailer from scratch and the Morse blade on the new saw does not seem to have slowed down one bit. I do not push it hard either. But then again, the thing cuts like a champ so I never really felt the need to push it. I bought a DeWalt blade to have as a spare and...

I have been using a chop saw forever. Finally broke down and bought a Morse Metal Devil. Why oh why did I not do this years ago. The cuts are beautiful. With a careful eye, you can set it to cut exact angles. I am so impressed with this saw and so happy I finally spent the money on a quality...

I have been going through the same thought process. Researching blasters, and compressors. I am a DIY guy. I swear sometimes I will work 40 hours and spend $2000, so I don't have to spend $2500 letting someone else do it. Learn the hard way I guess. I have given up on the DIY blasting for...

Hmm, can "The Mission 22 Truck" come along? At least you know you guys would eat well at every stop!

Got it! I had actually copied that quote and emailed it to myself to tell them, but it's a great reminder for everyone. Thanks.

Thanks! Off to get all my samples. Getting desert tan to paint a 101a2 and an 1101.

Is it Brown 383, and Green 383??? And black?

I know it is in here somewhere, But I just can't find it. Can someone tell me the names of the three colors in the Green/Brown/black camo pattern on most of these trucks. I can find the codes on the thread below, once I get the names, but I just don't know the names of the green and brown and...

Thanks. yeah, probably too far. I have a couple here in TX, but it's still a long haul to get one up there. I'd be better off buying one in SLC or from an Idaho resident.
