That's awesome. How much did the sled weight or what was the sled weight up to when he stopped? Most of the pulls by me don't allow anything over 10k lbs.
There are a few versions of the 5-ton rims and I have seen 3 different o-rings. I only use the super thick ones no matter what style rim. The different rims have different numbers of bolts holding the 2 pieces together and the seal spot where the o-ring sits is different. You have to clean off...
It is a air filter/catch can for the ctis feed. The cup part unscrews from the top. The filter piece will stay on the top assembly but you can unscrew it separately. Take the cap off the bottom and flip the cup upside down the guts will fall out. Screw in a schrader valve. On top of the cup sits...
That little air catch thingy is on the air supply line to the CTIS valve body. You can unscrew it dont loose the little o ring that sits on top. They all leak out the bottom you can take the inside valve piece out and usually screw a normal schrader valve into the bottom.
Idle should not be all over the place it should be in the 500 rpms range. At 1000 rpms putting it in gear would make it jump. I would start with checking the throttle linkage assembly make sure nothing is hanging up anywhere.
The trucks are meant to pull. Members use their trucks daily for heavy work and don't break anything. If you were chained up back to back of another 5ton pulling like that then yes you might break something. Just pulling a heavy load is what the truck does best. The engines like to be used it...
The 5 ton in low range will out pull pretty much any civilian truck. I pulled more than real full size semi tractors could. It's so much grunt in low range and plenty of tire contact with 3 axles and plenty of weight to keep it all planted. On dry dirt that it. Mud is a different story.

I have had 5-ton rims the military gooped with silicone when they sealed it. Since so many rims leak down I can see why they did it. The o-rings don't always seal as well as they were intended to.
I have 2 hunter 35k heaters at Warner Robins I was hoping someone could pick them up and store them until I can get someone down that way to pick them up. Its 2 of these I think they weigh around 60 pounds each. I am willing to pay gas and a few bucks. Thanks, Will will@pawnking.com
