    Where Are All The 5 Ton Dump Trucks Going?

    One of them came to Florida!

    Is the CTIS a deal breaker?

    It depends on what you need. If you need the super singles, then you have to deal with the potential problems if your truck has CTIS; if it breaks, you can eliminate it or fix it. Maybe not a big deal. When I bought my M929, I thought about which in my opinion is better for my needs. I'm not...

    Dump bed tarps

    Did the sand try to migrate over the top of the tail gate going down the road? Remember, we like pictures.

    Estimate fuel costs or shipping?

    If you figure about $1 per mile to operate a 5 ton, you will be pretty close.

    Went to super singles on my M923

    You can pull the dust covers off the backing plates and look at the brakes without having to remove the wheels or disassemble the hub assembly.

    PCB and pencil questions

    Brake cleaner took the white stuff off my M929 and there was a lot of it. Maybe they had better white grease pencils where you got your truck....

    PCB and pencil questions

    You can get the grease pencil on CARC off with brake cleaner. Make sure you use a white rag. The brake cleaner will bleed the color out of colored rags and onto the paint.

    restore autosave

    I've had this happen. After logging back in I backed up to the original page and the text was still there. YMMV. Good luck.

    Is it worth obtaining OEM wheel stud nut wrench & handle for a M923?

    I Have a 3/4" impact wrench and 3/4" impact sockets that I use. You can get them at Harbor Freight and the HF 3/4" impact socket set comes with the square bud socket. HF also has bottle jacks. When I had my Deuce, I changed tires just using the trucks air and the 3/4" impact wrench. I'm...

    M929 Splash Guards

    Here are some pictures of the mud flap and mounting hardware. I also included a drawing of the mud flap so you can make them if you can't find them. The drawing dimensions are in INCHES. Good luck.

    I guess you mean mud flaps? I have some I can measure if you need to know the length.

    M915A1 Fan Clutch

    With the engine off and the air bled off, the fan should turn by hand. If it won't turn, check for the bolts WM talks about.

    GL recovery. Your experiences plz

    If you can't preview a truck, look for one with a video of it running and moving. Compare the pictures to the video to be sure it's the same truck. It's not as good as a preview, but I have had good luck doing that. If you do preview, some sites won't let you start the trucks, some will. If...

    Where do I look for the laws concerning this hobby?

    The sticking point is going to be any vehicle with more than two axles or above a certain weight is going to be considered a commercial vehicle whether it is used for commerce or not. The exceptions are RVs. Those they will limit above a certain size. Each code section will have a glossary of...

    Air temp vs breaks?

    Speaking from personal experience I can tell you, a catastrophic brake failure is easily identified by the brake pedal on the floor, a massive fluid leak from a wheel cylinder, master cylinder, brake line, etc. and a seat cushion sucked up your A. If the brakes still work, even poorly, it's not...

    **2013 Florida Military Vehicle Rally**Fall Event**

    Did they staple you up Steve? The last couple of knee replacements my step-daughter had (she has had 4 to date) used staples to hold it together. Much less trouble to remove after healing. You will be up and around pretty quick. Good luck.
