    Bought an M123A1C today

    That winch is rated for 45,000lbs, bare drum is 25,000lbs. I don't think these trucks ever came stock with a crane? I thought they were single and double winch only.

    Post count to classifieds changed to 5?

    Ron, I have brought numerous classified ads to the attention of Chris (steelsoldiers) over the past year. I finally got tired of seeing the same ads (that should not be there) in the classifieds over and over again with nothing being done. I feel your pain and frustration.

    charging problem

    Do you have an external regulator? Might be bad if you replaced the generator.

    charging problem

    You tested the batts with the engine running? or off? If its 24.5 running then its your generator or regulator.

    charging problem

    Put a multi-meter on the batteries to see what the generator is putting out, should be higher than 24 volts ( maybe 27or 28?) to charge the batteries. If it is not higher than 24 volts, I would suspect the generator. or voltage regulator if its separate.

    About to give up on my Centrifuge! Help...

    I would heat up the oil and let it sit for a day or more and then drain out the bottom of the barrel. Also put a filter before the inlet to the centrifuge, something like a 50 micron maybe to get the large stuff out.

    Stupid newby question

    If it has an original Cummins engine, then its not a 2.5 ton truck (i.e. deuce). Its a 5 ton 809 series truck. the brakes will be the same air assist/hydraulic system. I think there was a thread on here about someone who switched an older 5 ton over to full air brakes.
