    What's your best 'that was dumb' moment involving your 5 ton?

    Coming out of the back of my M934, I stumbled on the top step... Basically made a rolling dive off the top..don't know how I did it, but I managed to roll forward as soon as I hit the ground... Nothing hurt but my pride, and for a second there I thought I should try it again because it was so...

    What's your best 'that was dumb' moment involving your 5 ton?

    Just curious. We've all had them, and I wanna hear what everyone else has done. I'll be humble and start... I picked up my 5 ton, and on the way back, I decided I should try the emergency shutoff, just in case... So when I went to park the truck and grab some food, I pulled the emergency...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Group 65s Higher CCA but lower reserve. They cranked over for a bit without issue, as I had just replaced the PT pump after fixing a couple leaks... I definitely appreciate the offer, but I got L channel I'm gonna be using.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    New batts. New lugs. Temporary strap. Battery cutoff. Room to add 2 more batts and can isolate when not in use so don't have to worry about dissimilar batteries self discharging.

    M923a1 Pre-Purchase Questions

    Mine was a rebuild...Didn't help :-p... But yes, it's a crapshoot regardless....

    M923a1 Pre-Purchase Questions

    Another factor is age. Older rigs means older rubber... rubber cracks.. The o-ring I pulled from my PT pump was like hard brittle plastic instead of the soft pliable rubber it was supposed to be.... In that respect, newer is better..

    M923a1 Pre-Purchase Questions

    NHC250 has more low end torque, and you can add a turbo. There's no replacement for raw displacement. The mouse motors (A2) start better in the cold... The NHC250 does NOT like cold weather... There's no wrong answer, both have their merits.. I prefer the NHC250, due to sheer simplicity...

    Is This One of Us? This Is Incredible to See

    I think it was in the Harvey thread where a guy hit something submerged and dented the crap out of his bumper...Heh...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Word of warning. Pay VERY close attention to the batteries and battery cables when you get your rig. In pulling out the bad batteries, I noticed that one was different age and manufacturer, which definitely could be the cause of the self discharge problem that killed my batts. I also triple...

    Leave duals or go Singles

    1200s dualed is the way I'd go. You can air them down and have a larger footprint than a 1400 or 385, and each 1200 is rated around 8k lbs vs 12k lbs for the single, which means a dualed double axle has a tire rating of almost 32k lbs, whereas a singled dual axle would be at 24k lbs max tire...
