It is the truck in my avatar, I think by Jan there will be 3 feet of snow on the road. It gets packed down by snow mobiles so hopefully the tires could dig in. Underneath the snow its all rocks and there is one steep grade I need to traverse. Chains and a snowblower would be ideal!

Well I had my Ford all chained up last weekend made it in OK but had a heck of a time getting out. THe snow will get pretty deep up there come Jan as its at almost 9000 feet.

I am thinking of taking my 5 ton up into the mountains, I have about a mile drive into my cabin where the snow can get pretty deep, right now there's about 18 inches on the ground. Does anyone have any experience driving these trucks in deep snow? I'd hate to get stuck as I think she'd be there...

I put 2 batteries in mine Centennial C-8DH and they seemed to work fine and fit almost perfectly in the battery boxes, however, one thing I didnt notice was that the boxes have dividers in the bottom for the 6TL batteries. These dividers stick up right in the middle of the bottom of the battery...

My biggest concern if I roll by is a trooper who looks for things to write me up on. While I have the vehicle registered, insured, under the CDL weight...etc Id hate for an over zealous trooper to find SOMETHING to ruin my day. I agree that stopping at a weight station does seem unnecessary...

This is probably a really stupid question but here goes. I drive my 5 ton out of the mountains of WY to my home in UT in the fall and then back to WY in the spring. I noticed today that the Port of Entrys call for all vehicles over 10,000# must stop at the port of entry. I must have missed the...

I cant find a wiring diagram with each lead on it but at the switch I have 12 until I turn it on then its all 10 so I just wasnt sure if the plug would drop it 2vdc or not.

Question: I know the plug fot the heater is 12VDC, what is the actual voltage that you can read on the top of the plug when its operating? I only get 10 VDC. At first I was only getting 4VDC until I went through the circuit and cleaned all the connections, also my dash light was barely lit and...

Well I got the new belt on, it wasnt the one I found listed in here for the water pump, I had to go to Napa 3 times and finally got this one: 2522434. After I got it on I had 1 bolt that just wouldnt tighten, Im hoping putting in one just a little longer will solve the problem. Does anyone know...

I had to use a punch and lightly tap the pump to get her to move but it worked fine, I appreciate the help!

Ooops wrong thread for the last post .........Winch works great I appreciate the help!

I finally got the belt off and a new one on. I had to use a small punch and just lightly tap one of the indentations in the pump to get it to turn but it all worked out. I appreciate all the help!

Do I have to loosen the 2 allen set screws or just the bolts around the pump? I really appreciate the help guys!

Is the best way to rotate the pump to use a chisel/punch and tap in the notches around it? I have been having really bad luck lately and the last thing I want to do is replace my waterpump because I screwed something up.

I am in the process of replacing all the belts on my 5 Ton with a Cummins NHC 250 engine. I got all of them off except 1. The belt from the crank to the waterpump has no adjustment and I can't figure out how this comes off/on. I looked at the manual but it appears mine is a bit different than...

Yeah I read a few posts about that! I will try a small stump this weekend and see how everything goes. So far Ive never used it nor needed it, I just pulled what I wanted with the truck and a chain.

OK I thought and thought about what a PS article is and I finally give up and will ask......whats a PS article?

I have read TM 9-2320-260-10 winch section and read numerous posts on the subject. Since the winch can obviously cause lots of damage if used improperly I want to make sure I have a good understanding prior to using it. Are there any other TM articles that are more detailed in winch...

Thanks I will give that a shot, the starter is easy to get to.

I was cranking my 5 ton yesterday trying, just for a couple of 5-10 second cranks to get her going in the cold when the starter quit cranking and now just makes a high pitched noise. Im pretty sure the starter is not engaging and is just free wheeling. The batteries are fully charged, are there...
