I am looking at tire chains for my 5 ton with 395's. I remember reading that only the middle axle should get them? Is that correct? Is there a reason not to do the fronts? I can understand the rears with possible chain interference (not sure how big of an issue this is with 395's).
I am possibly looking to replace the gear oil in my M923A2 (rebuilt in 2011, about 5500 miles on it now). I am almost positive the oil has not been changed since it was rebuilt. The oil itself looks normal, and even pretty new still, but I figure there is a time aspect as well versus just debris...
How long should my tanks maintain pressure while parked? I know ideally there are no leaks and it is infinite, but in reality what is a usual time to drop from 120psi to 60psi to 0psi? I know of a few minor air leaks on my truck and debating if I should fix them due to the cost and effort...

Here is a photo of it being delivered plus my first time sitting in it.
Finally home. Tested out the cargo cover.
First thing I did was fix...
Recently picked up my M923A2 and love it. Tracking down some minor air leaks and getting familiar with the truck still. Overall in great shape. Went through the 2011 rebuild and given the ROPS cab.
Would be great to connect with others in the Treasure Valley area.
