    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Newbie from Cape Cod and new M923 owner

    Working with Glenn and his son made the job easy. Glenn had the underside of the cab painted and ready to go. Great guys. Glenn helped me shoehorn my Big Cam 290 into the A&H Recon shop wrecker.

    Weare rally 2015

    Sorry, I haven't been on SS much. I mostly post on the FB forums now. I am hoping to bring my M936 with the Turbo big cam to Weare. I will be in Weare on Thursday to scout trails. I will lead trail rides on Friday and Saturday at noon. Be ready before noon. I will make sure it is announced.

    rear shocks on a 5 ton

    You only need to shocks, this is the way R model smacks did it. It won't be a costly projects to do. I think a lot of you bounce is coming from the sidewall deflection. You need to run higher pressure to get rid of sidewall bounce. I have all my customer run 70 PSI on rear and 90/100 on front...

I have done this to a few 8.3l cummins and Cummins 250. I am just not posting here on SS as much. It kinda takes the wind of...

    M939 transfer case air lines installed wrong

    I work on these trucks for a living. I would say 50% of the trucks that I have seen have the tranfer case plumbed wrong.

    So who has bumped the power on a 6CTA cummins

    The Allison transmission in the M939 series trucks can handle the increase in the power. My customer Steve put a 450hp Cummins 400 in his M929 dump truck with 1600's on it. He has been working it for a year now. He did his homework and found that the Allison transmission in our trucks are rated...

    New PURest air dyer install on M923A2

    I think Supreman is the only one selling the Purest air dyers. I think everyone else is selling just the stock M939 series air dyers. Those work good , but I was very impressed with the newest model.

    New PURest air dyer install on M923A2

    Buy them from Supreman here on SS he has the original air dyers and the up graded air dyers in the classified. They are new in the box and cheaper then what filters would cost.
