I would definitely agree that it's all in how it has been taken care of. But in my experience, the build quality on my older 5 tons was superior. The only advantages you have on the newer trucks is better (modern) engines and brakes. Anything I've owned that has been through RRAD is crap it...

I was not aware of anyone manufacturing them for the 5 tons. $1,100 for a true air locker isn't horrible, who makes them and where can I get one?

On my M923A1 I used 2 baldwin filter bases, pn FB1311. First a water separator baldwin pn BF1212 and then a CAT 3 micron final filter but I don't remember the part number on that one. I added this on the side of the engine in addition to the factor filter which I may remove some day. You can...

If anyone is interested, I have a complete power steering kit available from a multifuel powered m54a2.

Any info on the make and model of the tires? I'm curious to see if there is a trend.

I hope to have my 16.00R20s mounted on my HEMTT rims and installed on the truck in the next week. I'll post an update when done.

It was a winch truck too. The whole thing looked brand new.

I just saw one of these trucks headed north bound on I-5 near olympia.

So where in Norway are these selectable lockers? I'd love a set

I drive truck for a living, a mack CH600 series. It has a power divider with air lock out and air lockers in the differentials. The air lockers can be activated any time that all wheels are spinning somewhat evenly and the speed is low (under 25 or so, don't remember exactly). I usually lock...

I would prefer an ARB over the Detroit for a few reasons. 1st, ice and snow. 2nd, snow and ice. 3rd, reduce wear while just driving around town. Open axles for regular driving and a locker(s) only when needed. No reason to kill progress, not a lot of aftermarket parts available for the 5 ton...

I think there would be lots more interest if you got ARB to make an air locker. With the abundance of 5 tons hitting private hands, I think it would be very profitable for ARB too. If someone wants to take that on and ARB agrees to make an air locker, I'd be in for at least 2.

Here is an update for anyone who finds this thread via the search function (HA HA HA!) Current NAPA part numbers for the studs are WA1210 (Right) and WA1211 (Left). Nuts are WA2006 (right) and WA2007 (Left) I just purchased them on NAPA online for my HEMTT rim install.

Was there any physical damage to the piston top where that crack is? It seems like that one was destined for catastrophic failure in the very near future.

I have some questions about the spicer 6352 trans (non OD) in my M54A2. It grinds almost every gear and the fluid that was drained from the unit was full of brass shavings and black. Is it worth rebuilding? If so, does anyone know of a good source for parts? On a side note, if you know of a...

Lots of great info. I think I'm going to call the eaton tech support line on monday and see what they have to say about this application.

I agree, my 5 ton doesn't really have horsepower though! I'm going to buy a Detroit for the front and give it a try. I'll be sure to report back and let everyone know my experience. In the meantime, if anyone out there is running a Detroit in the front, I'd love to hear your opinion.

Rosco, I agree about chains being best but I can't put chains on the rear due to the limited space between my rear axles running the 53's, I can chain up the front though. I drive a Mack tractor for work with a lockable power divider and air lockers in the rear axles and while it gets amazing...

All of the examples given so far have been vehicles that have a transfer case that is shifted and "locked" into 4WD thus, having input torque applied to the front axle at all times causing the locker to lock. The sprag transfer case wont apply input torque to the front axle until the rear...
