    Steel Pickup tubes

    So what's the common denominator on steel tubes? So far it's just 5-tons from the 1970's to 2002 (if I'm reading TomTime's post correctly) Does this mean all 5-ton's have steel tubes?

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Installed a new fuel gauge after testing the sender wire from the tank for a short. Although I don't know the ohms rating for the sender, found a setting on my meter that showed a signal from the sender and demonstrated a difference in readings with my weight on and off the truck. Replaced the...

    Steel Pickup tubes

    I'm curious, my 1976 M813 had a steel pickup tube in the fuel tank. Mike Virili at Big Mike's motorpool thought it was "kind of odd to me that steel was used...Most of this stuff would have been copper in the fuel tanks, but it could have been changed out by someone who used what they had to...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Replaced the fuel sender this week with mixed results. I was able to save the old gasket and all but one bolt came out without having to drill, although I did replce the bolts. There was definitely a lot missing on the old unit. At first the gauge worked but as soon as I climbed aboard...

    m35a3 adding reverse lights

    Couldn't find a reversing light circuit in my 5-Ton TM's, so I rigged a momentary switch into an old metal housing and screwed it to the floor in position so the shift column would engage the switch in reverse. This is plugged into a 12V circuit that runs the length of my M813 to 4 LED lights...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Been experiencing electrical issues with the turn signals. At first contact cleaner cleared it up, but the problem persisted. Found that pin "C" was either cut or broken. This is for the Left Rear Directional. There was no sign of the broken stub, but fortunately there was enough extra pin...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Why not just disconnect it? On my M813 I think it's this doohickey, power lead 85, up underneath the dash, behind the oil pressure gauge. JD disconnected the dang thing before I took delivery of the truck. Now I just have to figure out how to reconnect it before the inspection...oy

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Hey, I'm working on my 5 Ton. Troubleshooting the fuel gauge this time, every time I turn on the power the gauge pegs full. So I pulled the float. Now I'm still kind of new to this MV Shtick, but I feel something might be missing... So far this tank has eaten a pickup tube and a fuel...

    One of the advertisers on this list has a pretty good classified section. Eastern Surplus and Equipment Co.

    M923a2 starting issue update.

    Didn't have any luck with NAPA on my M813 fuel lines, used OMNI Services instead. Think they have locations in Virginia.

    M923a2 starting issue update.

    Is this the pickup tube in the tank? Had the same problem in my M813. Replaced it with a copper one.
