    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    The peel and seal by itself was a huge reduction in NVH, but the padding and carpet took it to the next level. Also noticed it was cooler during hot days and stayed warmer longer during cold days after shutting off the truck. It was no miracle, but it was noticeable. The 5 ton cab is pretty...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    They also make a product designed for roofing, that's essentially a rubber backing, with reflective foil, and adhesive.. It's usually only a couple bucks a roll, and comes in strips.. I've done a couple cars/trucks with it and it really helps reduce the noise/vibration and increases the...

    AM General M934 How difficult is it to find repairs & how much will they set me back?

    Depends. They go through it and replace bad parts, usually, along with applying any pending modifications (MWO).... Mine included a crappy tan CARC paintjob over 3 color camo..

    Or the methed out chick that swears you're with the CIA and demands to know your serial number (her words), then waits until you go into a gas station to try and jump onto your truck to see what's inside and find the 'serial number, you're required to tell me'.... :sigh: I bought my first...

    My experience.... I picked up an M934 with 11k miles, 755 hours, and only 150 miles after an RRAD rebuild.... It had been sitting for 7 years..... Dead batts, 1 flat tire, 1 dead headlight. Brought batts to life, filled tire (held air), replaced headlights. Replaced ALL fluids, then drove it...

    Ignition switch (actual switch not cylinder) wiring...

    What's confusing is that there is only a 12V feed to the ignition switch....nowhere to get 24v from... The only place I have 24V at is where its supposed to be...which makes it that much more confusing.... I'm thinking that relay may be failing or about to fail...but if 24V is somehow...

    If you use a high grade marine sealant, the bond/'waterproofness' will last longer than the truck.... Don't be afraid to drill, just be aware that it's a double walled roof... long bolts are your friend..
