    5 ton vs 2.5 frame differences?

    Can't answer that, all my trucks are stock. Lot of fabricators on this site. Some one may jump in..

    5 ton vs 2.5 frame differences?

    Just get a 5 ton and put it on super singles, poof, you have a monster truck that will pull a house off a foundation. Go with the NHC 250 Cummins engine. 855 cu. in 6 cylinder. There's no replacement for displacement.

    My new M936 named FLUFFY

    Scotch blocks= wheel chocks, got it. Never heard that term. You'll need a pair of them for parking the truck. Parking brake works well when properly adjusted. Can't trust other people, chock it when parked.

    My new M936 named FLUFFY

    The truck is still very heavy. Mine is still on the original 11x20 G177s. They ride great on the road. The spring here was a swampy muddy mess also. The 936 was parked under an equipment shed and still sank 10 inches just sitting because of all the moisture in the ground. If you utilize the...

    My new M936 named FLUFFY

    Not now, sounds like you have it covered. Your work and farming experience gives you a lot of experience, hopefully all safe. Lots of folks procure these trucks and have little or zero experience on anything larger that a riding mowing, then someone gets hurt. I just retired from 40+ years in...

    5 ton vs 2.5 frame differences?

    Monster truck for speed and jumping; go with the lighter frame. Monster truck for off roading/crawling, go with the heavier frame. All my trucks are stock configured. None are fast or jump very high, come to think about it, I don't think they have never been off the ground. Jack stands count?

    My new M936 named FLUFFY

    Fluffy; that has a ring to it....nice truck. The M936 is handier that a two-perkered billy goat. Source the operating manual for the series of truck. A lot of good info to understand before you operate it. That thing can can kill you if not operated properly. -then it would be called "bad Fluffy".

    5 ton vs 2.5 frame differences?

    That's correct. 5 ton frames are much heavier, larger channels. I dont have the dims handy but I have two trucks parked at the shop that I can measure.

    New project

    Sounds like you have a project... nights and weekends. Pretty strait forward GM stuff. Any history of the prior work accomplished? If not, start with some known serviceable parts and put it together. It might take it to be assembled to figure out what needs to be addressed to get it road worthy.

    Gauges work, then quit.

    Yep, like Simp states, the PCB. Give it a percussion adjustment, but that will be temporary fix. Get a spare and rebuild your original. Easy pesy....

    Correct paint color for Vietnam Ear Arty

    SS member "private wrench" just had some mixed up for his '73 M35 project. Pretty sure Home Depot mixed it up. Looks good, send him a pm, he'll get you the info. Tell him JC sent you.

    MEP-531A find

    Look it over good, I changed all the fuel lines on my units before putting fresh fuel in them. Adding two batteries and a charging system would be a tough task. If you do not have a 24v source ( mil vehicle w/ slave cables), fabricate a jumper cable and jump it from to batteries in series. Once...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Toby, How could you do that?? Take pictures of my transmission during it's weakest moment...Then Post the pictures on the interweb for all to see. It will take years of therapy for my transmission to regain it's self esteem. I just hope the M35A3 dont see those photos, she is so sensitve. All...
