Put a block heater in mine, makes all the difference. Do a search its in the 5 ton forum or 5 ton mod forum.

I've seen a couple of ideas that put huge plates on the back of the frame or alter the trailer itself. I'm looking for something that will look...

I fly for a living. Sometimes I get blocks of time off that allow me to get some work done.

Here's a picture of my 24-12volt converter and outlet.

Here's a picture of the new type of steering wheel. They are very nice.

The deuce forum talks about the wiper set up, can't recall I'm traveling now just do a search and it will come up. Its widely discussed. The converter I got I connected directly to the batteries with an in line fuse. I wanted 15 amps min so I could run a laptop if needed. I don't remeber the...

I though I might summarize in one post what I've done to the truck the last year of ownership: Installed coolant filter system Fixed four leaky tires changed tranny fluid over to Dex 3 and linkage adjustment Replaced right front axle boot 3 times Replaced right front axle oil seal Installed...
