Since my last oil change in my Armada cost me $48, I have decided to change my own oil from now own. I know from other threads I can burn the used oil in the Multi-fuel in my 5 ton. What ratio of oil to diesel is a good rule of thumb?
Thanks,

This is the 24087 semi-gloss OD I got from Rapco. I got a case of the rattle cans to try out the color. My son really likes the OD, and the white stars would be good looking! And I already have a 715 Contact Maintenance Truck (6217) in camo along with its tools trailer.

My wrecker looks like it was painted 3-4 years ago by the NC State Police in three color camo, they did a poor job, there is surface rust on most of the painted areas? Maybe no primer or a poor one? Anyway I am going to repaint which do you like the camo or the OD?

RE: Mine
I have it over in Oklahoma in storage, next time I am over there I will email you the photos, I had a hard copy of the manual that come with the trailer but I can't find it now??

PS: THe mount on the front of the trailer is for the spare, it came with an M37 style spinner to hold the wheel in place.
Mine is the spin on style, I have it mounted on the engine, it looks ok except that there is a slight gap between the filter outer lip and the filter mount. It looks like it has a good seal just a small gap between the filter caseing and the filter mount. Mine also has the electric start but...
I am trying to start up a 3KW gas gen set. Changing gas and oil, the oil filter comes up as a valid number at NAPA but they have no replacement for it(amazed the counter guy) we matched up a NAPA Gold 1515(WIX) filter as a close duplicate. Anyone know of some special spec. on this filter? I...

Jason:
I thought we had a Memorial Day parade in Springdale, but wife says we don't, but Fayetteville does. I will see with I can find out.

If it is still available I would be interested in it. It looks just like my M106 Pioneer Tool Trailer, did it carry a 3kw gen. set too?
Any other photos of it?

RE: M105
Got a cover and bows, I am going to use it with some taller bows for my daughter and some of her friends to ride in it behind the wrecker in our local Memorial Day Parade. The taller sides will allow the cover to be far enough above their heads for them to sit on a two sided bench in...
Good looking truck, you will love the 5 ton, easy to work on and fun to drive, and the looks you get! My son and I have a great time with the M543.
