I installed one of these on my 5 ton. No bounce-its rigid. The kit comes with a bolt on gusset-strap (look close and you can see it on front of box). Make sure you have these installed. Pete

Mine does the same thing. Seems to happen more when its cold out. Waiting to here others chime in on reason-solution. Pete

The probable cause was how the road was laid. Expansion joints may have been close to the wheelbase of your truck. That coupled with a vehicle equipped with stiff springs for carrying a load. Two solutions-dint drive that route or if you do, put some weight in the back. Pete

I like it! Go big and loud and git er done. Pete

Just saw your thread. Love it-great work. Engine choice is perfect-looks factory. Well done. Pete

For the night, I would take the work light suggestion. Maybe cover hood with tarps or blanket to help trap the heat. Pete

I am not a welder but am learning. I have a 120 volt Millermatic 211 and have welded exhaust pipes and sheet metal with it-stuff like auto body panels. It make welding sort of easy-and fun. Our shop has a Miller 250 that is 240 volt single phase-great machine for rookie. Can weld thicker...

SCHNIKEES! Bet that was honking loud. Pete

When I see a dialed in service vehicle driving down the road, its a sure bet the company is as well organized as their vehicles. Well organized is full blown pro. I had a guy frame a small house for me. His truck was a mess-when he opened the drivers door, a chicken bone fell out. He had junk...

That truck is well sorted out. Looks very sanitary and professional. Pete

Nice project off to a good start. Engine choice is perfect. Pete

A buddy of mine took these photos. He lives in New Jersey. Nice looking 5-ton. Merry Christmas. Pete

I have the same wrecker as you. Made a the mistake of running the cable to far up into the pulleys at end of crowd. Make sure you pay close attention to this area. I was fortunate to not break anything. Further-dont side load the cable. I did that once and had the cable pop in between the two...

Might want to re-read what you have posted! Glass meet rock. For the O.P.-both of your trucks look like they are in mint condition. Post more pictures if you have them. Pete

Code for-HFT (Humvee Farm Truck). Pete

With this much attention, these clunkers will surely go high. Sort of like Broomhilda being the last gal at the bar at closing time. Pete

The spades on my truck where already mounted like yours (truck came out of Little Falls, MN). Have noticed that others have their spades going the opposite direction. Makes me wonder if they come loose without any mounts. Pete

I like it-super tidy and organized. Pete

Thanks for the responses. This truck just simply runs well. When it gets cold, I usually give it about a one half second shot of ether on the stack. I let it sit for about 20 seconds, then I hit the starter and it fires right up. It has four good batteries in it. On the shop-I am still working...

Its now cold here in MN. Went to exercise my truck today, so I fired it up. As usual, the engine fired up immediately (about 25 degrees F here today). I took it through my property, and was preparing to take it into town to fill it up with winter blend fuel. I noticed a rhythmic clicking coming...
