    Fell off the wagon.... again

    Thanks for the congrats guys. The truck does have some issues ( ie transfercase and some leaky seals ) but overall I think it was a steal as I bought my M-45A2 W/W purification truck from Jeff about 8 years ago for $3000.00. Wreckerman I listed my 5Ton in the classifieds and I'll also PM you

    M41 Air Question

    RE: Clear as mud OK But if the transfer is in neutral with no air how is the guy gonna move it?? Not arguing just looking for a education on these vehicles. P.S. Jeff do you still have the 5 ton (multi) front harness for sale?

    M41 Air Question

    RE: Clear as mud I'm still new to 5 tons but I thought they are full time 6wd and there a airshift valve that "disengages" the front axle when you put the truck in reverse which prevents the transfer gears from binding while backing up??

    Who needs paint?

    Pressure washer with a good strong degreaser will take the oxidation/chalky finish off also. I did most of my deuce that way and then hit the cab with a DA to smooth down the previous 4 color camo brush marks, 5 years later paint has faded but no peeling...

    GCI Paint Ratio

    Kenny I also had a friend who used mineral spirits when he painted his Gama-Goat. But you need something stronger then MS when using a synthetic hardner. Also I would recommend to NOT use any gun with less then a 1.8mm tip as the gilliespie is a heavy paint. I use a 2qt remote gun from Northern...

Gillespie recomends not reducing it more then 3 parts paint to 1 part reducer but the hardner will really thicken up the...
