    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Will that make it louder? I put one like it on mine and have it run the same. I thought it would be louder than it was.

    Trailer with bigger bed than m101a2?

    I've got one also, it's for sale too. Once I get the title (soon). Open on the inside, 2 fold up tables. Stabilizers at all 4 corners. I've gone thru the trailer now, everything good. Just repainting it now. It's 12 volt and all aluminum.

    Air system relief valve opening on M925...Frozen air lines/valves?

    I was having this problem as well as a couple valves freezing as well. I was just cracking the drains for 30 seconds or so. Well I've found that's not the correct procedure. When it got above freezing I ran it with the drain valves and red glad hand connection open for 15 min to clear the...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Progress over the weekend, done with the rock! And 2 of the pens back up. Now to take the other 2 pens down to get the mats up and beside the others. Then re-work the top to fit the 4 joined pens.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Thanks! No fabric liner, straight on the ground, grass and all. I'm sure in 6 months we'll have to roll the mats back and back fill some holes due to settling. But with the mats and the top on it it shouldn't settle much. We're tamping it also to help.

    Goldneagle's M116A1 Generator Trailer restore and modification thread

    Yeah, alot of things were done wrong. I knew better as my dad does commercial hauling for his auction buiness. But I was not involved. .... The trailer was not that much too overloaded. It was a tandem trailer, we had a guy following also. His statement was it blew the 2 tires when the trailer...

    Goldneagle's M116A1 Generator Trailer restore and modification thread

    I don't belive the tongue weight should exceed 500LBS but 10% minimum sounds right. You've got to have enough tongue weight to keep the trailer tracking correctly. If it's too light it'll start fish tailing. It can get real violent real quick with no good way to stop it. Some of the guys...

    Fuel injector Rebuilding/testing and TM and compression testing

    Not right off hand, I left the adapter with the pop tester when I left the Ford shop. I got the brake line and nuts from a local truck hardware shop that makes our hydro hoses.

    Fuel injector Rebuilding/testing and TM and compression testing

    I found line nuts with the right thread and pitch and then did my own flare with a flaring tool to hook it to the injectors.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Thanks for the reply, yeah everything else works, and you can shift it with the engine not running and the key in the position between off and run. Shift it to neutral, start it and drive off. This is a 88 or 89 factory 12 volt truck though. Thanks

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I'd start with the wiring diagram and a meter at the turn signal switch. Lots of possibilities.
