    Show your 5 tons in the snow.

    Looking good! No snow over here. In fact, I was out raking the lawn today!

    M923A2 Wiper Motor

    I was surprised how loud they hiss when running. I thought it was a major leak, then figured out it's just the way they function.

    My M925 showed up

    I thought they looked cool, but heard tales of "flame outs" with them.:shock:

    What is this goo??

    Red goo sounds like a complication of one of the medications they advertise on TV.:mrgreen:

    I want to take off the CTIS on my newly purchased 1990 M923A2

    The O-Rings are only $12-$15. I am on my third leaking tire and all have been bad O-rings. One of them had a bad grommet as well on the turret valve inside the wheel. As others have said, if your O-ring is bad the tire will leak regardless of CTIS being attached. My current leaky tire will...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I called and talked to them today. Verified that the "Non-Slip Matting" is what I wanted. I can return the other and they are sending the new stuff out. Very good customer service FYI. My first order arrived overnight with standard ground shipping. This stuff, but in black.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Didn't get the parking break cable yet. I just used WD-40. Disconnected the ends and held it up so it could run down inside the cover. Inside the cab I pulled the levers out and sprayed them while working the lever in and out. I'm sure there are better things to use, and better ways to do...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    That's a heck of a good deal! If I would have known about them, I would have had them do all 6 before I brought her home from Ogden!

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Negative. I've provided them. I don't think they would charge me for them though. They quoted that as their standard, "large loader tire service". Also wouldn't charge any more for me having them remove the wheel from the truck vs. me bringing them just the wheel/tire. I'll pull the CTIS...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Someone else here posted about them. They are rubber matts that have "air channels" under them. Put them in the toolboxes to keep things from sliding around all over, and they let air under them to prevent rust. http://www.duragrid.com/index.html I think I ordered the wrong ones, though. I...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Found another leaking wheel O-Ring. This is number 3. I'm not fighting this one, straight to the tire shop. Picked up a 1 ton chain hoist at Harbor Freight (my truck came with zero tools from GovPlanet). Ordered the dry-deck mats for the tool boxes. Bought a 5 lb fire extinguisher to go in...

    Show your 5 tons in the snow.

    Snow? What snow? All of ours has melted! Can't believe our snow is gone in February! I usually don't see my lawn until late March at the earliest.:shock: Weird, weird winter this year.

    M923a2 building air to frequently

    Cut in is 100-110 PSI. Cut out is 120-127 PSI. The govenor senses pressure from the main line to the wet resevoir. Signal lines run from the governor to the compressor unloader and the airdryer valve. Both primary and secondary have their own gauge. If you just replaced the governor and the...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I removed and reinstalled the engine stop solenoid. Mine was mounted upside down (wires coming out the bottom). The throttle linkage was rubbing on the wires and was starting to wear through. Glad I caught it. Looks like a brand new solenoid.

    No I didn't, but they were a standard size, sorry can't remember exactly what they were.
