    A2 motor upgrade option questions

    I've had my 932 for a few months now and really dig it but always looks for more. I don't plan to drag race the truck but would like to pull a load up grades without slowing to a crawl. I started looking into motor swap options and came up with the following. I'm looking for input on each so...

    Installing lockers in a 5t

    I've read in the past that Detroits are available (or were) for the 5t axles. I also read the thread about ARBs. I've had both before in pickups and would dig lockers in my 932. I always seemed to have issues with the ARBs leaking and seemed to have better luck with the Detroits. When I...

    932a2 hood adjustment

    Ok back on track now... I hooked a come along to the good at the hinge and was able to pull it forward but the pivot and hinge support is still sitting at an angle. I'm thinking about pulling the hood tomorrow to see what's up. Is there anything special I need to know?

    Great idea. I'm gonna change the spark plugs to e3s this weekend and install a smaller turbo pulley to get 50psi of boost. Should should get me to 400HP.

    932a2 hood adjustment

    Thanks guys. I saw where it was hit on the drivers side. I'm hoping the come along will do the trick. Is there any other adjustment?

    932a2 hood adjustment

    Hi all, My hood is hitting the cab metal to metal and I'd like to adjust it forward a bit. So far I loosened the four bolts under the pivot and pushed them as far forward as possible. They moved about 1/4" but it didn't really help. One thing I noticed is that the pivot and cross member is...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I loaded 3 decorative metal screens for a project and delivered to the site. They weigh about 500lbs each. Saved myself $1300.00 in delivery fees;)

    Who has a receiver on their 5t?

    I'm looking forward to towing with it. Funny you say to watch how sharp you turn... I had been towing my trailer for several year behind an f250 or a dodge 2500. The fist time I towed with my Silverado last year I made a u turn at night and was impressed how it turned better than the other...

    FINALLY! I'm a 5 ton member

    I've been a member of the site for a few years and had the bug as long as I can remember. I've probably looked at 10-12 different trucks and almost pulled the trigger several times but always ended up talking myself out of it. I narrowed down my wish list to an a2 winch truck. I also wanted...

    932 vs 925

    Thanks guys. I kinda figured that was the case but wanted to ask. I may be picking up an MEP 006a this weekend but that probably won't do anything behind it.

    932 vs 925

    I'll do a proper into later with pictures and info, but for now-I've got a couple questions. So I got some seat time in my 932 yesterday. This is the first mv I've ever driven so here come the questions... How does the ride compare between the short and standard wheel base? I ask because...

    Who has a receiver on their 5t?

    That's basically what I'm looking for. How does it pull the trailer? I have a 34' toy hauler that weighs in around 15k.
