    Driving a 5 ton... topless!

    It is a lot louder without the top. We drive our WWII jeeps and WC around, rarely putting a top on them. More like never put tops on them. It seems like I never see the bigger trucks without a top. But it looks like more of you don't than I expected.

    Driving a 5 ton... topless!

    That's funny you say that. I am 20 and I can't wait for spring break :smile: My mom wondering what this big chunk of steel is doing in her driveway again as my dad laughs behind the camera.

    Driving a 5 ton... topless!

    The title says it all. Anyone ever drive their truck around town "topless"? It is a weird feeling that's for sure. Like riding in a giant bathtub. Gotta watch out for tree branches too! Not much warm weather left around here now. But we take advantage of it. Pics anyone?

    5 ton just clicks??

    If your gauges don't flip up then your box is shot. I heard my box click even though it was not working right.

    5 ton just clicks??

    It's a solenoid that gets stuck. I have heard of people replacing the solenoid. I am not sure which one to use. But I would like to replace my old one.

    Can you just short out the solenoid? Seems like that would get rid of the problems all together.

    Smack it with a hammer. It will start ;-).

    5 ton just clicks??

    Some things I might add as well. My ABS light started turning on every time I drove the truck. Then my PCB box was acting up, so I replaced it. Now my ABS light no longer comes on... weird. Do your gauges not flip over when you turn the main power on as well?

    5 ton just clicks??

    PCB box. Protective Control Box located on the firewall, left side to the driver. Right behind the ether can. You can smack it with a hammer while someone else starts the truck. It is the solenoid inside that box that is bad... usually.

    CDL or no CDL? Wondering about what you have.....

    It is not a "Demil MV truck". That scares people when you tell them that. It is a personal truck that you are not making money with. It is a truck. The military doesn't have any purpose to state. It is a odd looking 5 ton truck. It says truck on my title, so that is all the DMV needs to know...

    Paint Codes M925

    If you are just looking for some touch up paint. I have found that Rustoleum and Krylon camo colors match pretty well. Again, this is just for some spots you need to hit if you don't feel like ordering paint online. Jeff

    M1009 in Jefferson City MO

    Yep it doesn't say you need one in the additional info part. Looks pretty solid to me. I would take a chance and try to drive it home. Look it over really good and go. Have a chase car as stated previously. Also they are pretty relaxed on the 10 day period to get it off the lot. At least they...

    M1009 in Jefferson City MO

    It should say in the upper right part of the screen on the auction page if you need an EUC. I am pretty positive you need one. But I could be wrong. Do you have a link to the ended auction page? By the way, Jeff City has been great to deal with. It is a pretty relaxed base compared to other...

    I drove my 5 ton home from Jeff with no tags. Also has your EUC cleared yet? If it's your first one you may be looking at a month wait anyway.

    Where to get paint

    I don't even bother with the search function on this forum, or on any forum for that matter haha. I never like how they are setup. I just go to google and type what I want, then put "steel soldiers" behind it. Works great. Welcome!
