    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Hope not, I removed the elbow and vacuumed them out...after I saw your post :rolleyes: :) Now I'm thinking about installing a drain cock for any future condensate.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    My rig came with a 3/4 inch draincock installed in the air intake pipe. I'm assuming it was a modification for squirting starter fluid directly into the air supply as it made no sense as a drain being mounted on the upper part of the air pipe. If there was that much "condensation" in my pipe I'd...

    Expandable shelter

    On closer examination of the hinge pattern on your photo I don't think it's a Cargo Bed Cover, but rather some kind of shelter. With that said the Type IV CBC is very close and so long as you're not more than 73.71 inches tall could meet your needs. Here's one for sale in Oregon, alas to far...

    Expandable shelter

    Looks to be about the right size and insulated. CARGO BED COVER (CBC), TYPE IV, 5 T CARGO TRUCK, MTV, AND MTV TRAILER. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/cargo-bed-cover-cbc-type-iv-5-t-cargo-truck-mtv-and-mtv-trailer-tm-10-5411-234-13-p.219295/

    Found an old listing on Gov Planet for a General Dynamic "Cargo Bed Cover" Part No. 17-005-1 that looks similar. Surplus General Dynamics 17-1-0051-1 Cargo Bed Cover in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, United States (GovPlanet Item #11163609)

    How to lock up / secure a M35 A3 ?

    Just installed a Schlag deadbolt in the drivers side door on my 5 Ton. Lock's flush with the door, just have to paint it green. Shiny brass looks weird...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Installed a Dead Bolt lock on the drivers side door. Went with a keyed Schlag which was caged into a couple of rack rails cut to fit. The holes in the rails lined up with the lock cylinder and angle iron mounts. Installed it into the bottom of the door which is about waist height on me. Had to...

    Headlights OR parking lights ???

    Could be a ground issue. Tactical Repair described a situation when his right directional was on the low beam headlights also flashed. Turned out to be a bad ground in the right rear flasher. Electrons followed the path of least resistance into the low beams.

    Headlights OR parking lights ???

    Or your particular State requires it to pass tech...like seat belts. Circuit 21 I think

    Headlights OR parking lights ???

    Check out Tactical Repair's video on this topic Front Parking Lights Modification In a nutshell you're pulling the parking light power circuit off the Panel Brt. switch circuit. In my rig that circuit has a pigtail that looks stock, guess someone had this modification in mind.

    12 or 24 volt system

    Can you disconnect the starter and attach a multitester to confirm the voltage? If it is indeed 12volts I wonder if a 12VDC to 24DC Boost converter regulator would work. Something like this; 12-24V Premium Quality Starter Solenoid Triple Stage Series-Parallel Magnetic

    Am I missing something?

    I see a lot of 5-Tons for sale on Marketplace here in New England but I found my M813 right here in the classifieds. As a new member "back then" I had to contact the seller through a moderator and then coordinate my schedule to his. Took a couple of months to figure everything out. However...

    Worked for me on transmission diffs and gear box of my M813, but I think the 5/8 socket plug worked best.

    diesel in crankcase

    If you insure it with Hagerty and join their classic car club the first 100 miles of towing is free. That's how I got my M813 from Western Mass to Central Mass, a little over 100 miles, only cost me about $75. Everything else considered and you could get it for short money, would make a neat...
