    Restore sagging front springs with Add A Leaf Springs

    Don't know if it's a M1008 or '09 but with the stance of the '08 before sagging, I am very confident the 2.5" superlifts will put you pretty level with the rear. These front Chevy springs were destined for failure being the general put the arc backward to start. I dont think the shackles need...

    2016 Findlay Ohio Buy, Sell, Trade, Wanted

    I want a complete tan cargo cover for my M929! I have yet to see one but sure would like to see one on my truck. It would also reassure my bringing the truck.

    Restore sagging front springs with Add A Leaf Springs

    Mine were Rough Country. Not the greatest brand but somewhere in the middle. They lasted longer than the smoking 350 gasser. A little on the stiff side with the extra leaf.

    special charger for AGM batteries?

    I hope that works. A lot of "modern" chargers are digitally controlled and are a fail in many aspects. I had a friend give me a battery out of a burnt up battery booster because he said his charger said it was not able to take a charge. One day on my old analog unit brought it up to 12.4v and it...

    Restore sagging front springs with Add A Leaf Springs

    I have installed add a leaf springs before and really saw no noticable improvement, on a ' 78 civy 3/4 ton Chevy. A week later, I went to Wheeling Tire and got 2" lift springs for $200 and used the add-a-leaf springs with them.

    Selectable 5ton locker

    Agreed. Maybe one for $1500 and a nice discount for both rear axles. I would go $2250 for two. Air only, however. Also, if they need to be different for the A2, than I would need A2.

    special charger for AGM batteries?

    I used a 40 year old 6 amp 12v charger on the two batteries I had that had about 3v in them. At first I gave up on them and considered them dead, just using two in my truck. They took no charge in 24 hours. Then one day (months later) I decided to throw the charger on one for "days" to see what...

    Wow, you got a couple nice trucks. I like the all or nothing approach!

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Picked up a load of scrap wood from the (hardwood) sawmill today and swung by the heavy truck tire shop, that I am on good terms with, to get my slow leak plugged and hopefully converted to a "no leak". They plugged it nicely for a mere $10. No more CTIS attitude on startups anymore (hopefully).

    Mudflap rubber

    Got these at NAPA. They're the thicker, longer ones. Pretty sure they were under $20/ea.

    My New Trailer Collection.

    Well, that chamber was a pretty easy fix. I took it off, straightened the bent side of the chamber, and reinstalled it. Had a little thread damage, but with patience (having the pushrod in the way) the threads got cleaned. That metal them chambers are made of is pretty heavy duty. It took some...

    My New Trailer Collection.

    Well, upon a more stringent inspection, I see some older forklift damage to one of the master cylinder air chambers. The way I know this is older damage is the rust on the scratches that were made on the bottom of the trunion. Yet no evidence of a second fork under there. Seeing this put two and...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Confused as to why you had a steer axle in the rear. Is your truck bobbed? Was it four wheel steering?
