My girlfriend made me a decal for the back of the 5 ton. I love it.

Found this in my journey to replace all the fuel lines and hoses. https://www.tanksinc.com/index.cfm/page/ptype=product/product_id=94/category_id=-1/mode=prod/prd94.htm For 20 bucks. This one fits perfectly. Same size all the way around. Just wanted to let people know

I’m looking to see if anyone knows the length, OD of tube and fitting size for the fuel pickup tube. Out of state visiting a friend who can make me one but I’m not sure what the size of everything is.

Class v hitch installed now I just have to install my converter box from xm

I think I’m loosing prime. If I prime the motor at the lifting pump the truck fires right up. I tried cracking the bleed screw past the lifters and I get air then fuel, But If I let the truck sit a few hours then it goes back to not starting. So I’m thinking it’s sucking air and bleeding down. I...

I’m going to see if I can find a cracked hose or fuel leaking. I’ll try to pressurize the tank this weekend and try checking for leaks. Any other suggestions?

Haven’t had a chance to work on the truck till this afternoon. At the bleeder screw I’m not getting any fuel I see a few air bubbles when I crack it open and crank over the motor. Im thinking Maybe fuel line might be sucking air

Seems to turn over maybe slightly slower. It was around mid 40’s I even plugged in the block warmer just for the hell of it to see if that makes a difference. Just cranks. Will check more stuff later.

When cranking it retracts then the arm moves counter clockwise . Then moves back in the normal position when done cranking. Think I said that right.

fuel solenoid is retracting and springs seem strong. The manual fuel shut off is not pulled.

I’m having issues starting my 1991 m923a2. The truck ran fine about 3 weeks ago. The truck will crank but won’t start. I have a digital voltmeter in the truck. I have 24.4 ish volts before cranking. I notice though that when I flip the starter switch the voltage drops to around 17.4 to 17.6. I...

The rebuild looks pretty much straight forward. Are there any special tools you recommend or and tips you learned from doing yours?

Hope this is the correct place to put this. Been driving the hell out of this truck and it seems that the steering assist cylinder is starting to leak. It’s not bad, but I want to head it off before it is. My question is, I have seen rebuild kits and I have found ones for sale that are already...

Facebook market place, happened to be for sale 30 miles from me.

Thanks

So far I love this truck. It checks all the boxes.

New locking gas cap, door handles installed and I put the troop seats In. Love the look and functionally of it now. I also have a keyed ignition but didn’t have time to install that yet.

Oh yeah no I have been all up under it and checked every grease fitting and did an inventory of parts that have been changed. Checked filters and hoses. No leaks and anything that looks not right has been addressed. Having a farm and working on equipment I know preventative maintenance is the...

Thanks for the replies. Bearings and the lube order has been done. Alternator with belt was also just changed by the previous owner along with air, oil and all the fuel filters. So far I love the truck. Love the fact that it’s simplistic to work on in a lot of ways and seems to be built like a...
