    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    21A is known as crush and run. Gravel mixed with fines (rock dust) typically used on unpaved roads since it can be dumped, spread and rolled. At my old house we would chain the door on the back of the dump truck. Lift the bed and drive along until all the 21A ran out the back 6"-10" gap.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Picked up 5 tons of 21A to make a base for my sons Boy Scout Troop shed. That loader makes my truck look small. Then back home for a wash. Since the cover and bows had to come off maybe i will get the S280 in the back. Need two trucks so it can stay in one.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Yes. I look at the potential list of to do’s then I stare at the truck for a while. Then I say f*%# it. And take it for a ride. Nothing major to do. Nothing that keeps it unsafe on the road. Just eats up the limited time I have to play.

    M939 heater core bypass

    Honestly can’t say. I just reach in there and turn them till they stop. Will not be with the truck for a few days as it’s not at my house. Can take a peak but in the mean time give them a little twist with some pliers.

    M939 heater core bypass

    I use those in the summer to kill the heat in the cab and it works. Otherwise you roast. Would assume they should stop all fluid unless yours don't close all the way.? Since yours won't stop I would just separate there and splice them together for now.

    Rebuilding air compressor on M923A2 rebuild kit information

    Ok. I’m back and still can’t get this thing right. I have rebuilt the top end of the air compressor. I have replaced the air dryer but still the air compressor cycles like every minute for about 10-15 seconds. I actually shut off both valves off the main tank so only air goes to that. I hear no...
