I'd put that 5th wheel on Ebay. I've seen them sell there before. If yours in the double rocker type - that is worth some bucks to guys that have to go offroad once in a while.

Plug wire Part number followup FWIW, the spark plug wires I used were Napa # 700173. This is a 6 cyl generic set of wires - solid wire - non resistor I have found that NAPA is one of the few auto parts suppliers who still stocks real wire spark plug wire sets. I asked Advanced Auto about...

I've got an 855 in a semi tractor - non mil - and I had similar problems. I ended up putting a ball valve in the fuel line between the tanks and the fuel filter that is mounted on the side of the engine. When I park the truck I close the valve. When I want to run the truck, open the valve...

5th wheel plates don't need to be perfectly flat. How much of a hump? If you have a 1/8" hump in the middle and you put 30K lbs on the plate it will flex anyway. Now if you have a 1/2" hump that's a different story. If that is a Holland plate you can probably still get parts for it. It...

I think I have read all of the threads on the forum regarding Military ignitions on the gas truck engines. I've struggled with my Continental R6602 gas engine in my 5 ton for some time. Plug fouling, back fire problems, etc. I replaced the cap and rotor, points a couple of time. Plugs 3...

Is Gulfway Insurance still a good place to get insurance for MVs like a 5 ton dump? If not, then who is? I've got a business with three commercial trucks on a commercial policy but I'm not going to use this M51 dump for commercial use - strictly my own. Dave

>>Relistically, the cop went very easy on him.. Get it retaged , play stupid, hope on being first to see judge. And good luck. But dont cross the state line without checking if they honor NC rules. << From what I read the cop gave him a ticket for his only offense - not having...

>>NC law says 3 axles and 26000 or more is comercial and requires a CDL. The 26000 also includes the weight of a trailer. They only register vehicles in 1000 lb increments. You would need to register the truck for 25000 and never tow a trailer that puts your combined weight over that-or get the...

In Indiana the tag weight has nothing to do with commercial or not. I know of a guy who has a tandem semi truck and a 48 foot trailer that he uses to haul his race car. It has RV plates on it since he has a small bedroom in the front of the trailer with a bathroom. As I mentioned I have a...

Has anyone used Yenkin Majestic Flat Camo paints before? I can get it for less than $20 per gallon. I need to reshoot my 5 ton dump. The Conco semigloss oil paint I used on it 6+ years ago is fading. I've used Yenkin Majestic's gloss oil paints before and they were similar to Rustoleum's...

Ifta If the sticker you are getting for free is an IFTA sticker. There is nothing free about the IFTA program. IFTA is for commercial trucks. If you are not commercial it does not apply - end of story. It stands for International Fuel Tax Agreement. You need to log your miles that you...
