    Street Legal and register 5 ton for commercial use?

    If you're using it commercially you will need a CDL class B with air brake endorsement. Titling and registration is state specific can't help you there.

    Wrapping steering wheel.

    I got a 70's style pleather wrap one from pep boys cheap then i used paracord instead of the cheap thin crap it has as a wrap to keep it on. Feels so much better.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Put on a 5" stack I got for $20 on Craigslist using my original tailpipe as the lower extension after i cut off its bend. Louder than i anticipated but i love it. Sounds great and I've noticed the truck is running better. Also my horn button wouldn't work there's a short somewhere in the...

    Cummins 8.3 fan shutter stat

    Sounds crazy but i had a coolant leak and didn't realize it was as bad as it was. My truck would get hot but fan wouldn't kick on. Make sure your coolant is topped off, i topped mine off and suddenly the fan would work. I guess want enough coolant to drench the probe on the shutterstat.

    NHC 250 Commercial Applications

    The A2 actually has an 8.3 Cummins turbo diesel not a 250. Which is a popular marine motor or so I've been told. Love the sound of the 250 but i own an 8.3.

    Show your 5 tons in the snow.

    Thanks. I figured that's what it might be. It looks great. I suck at making/painting models but maybe I'll give it a shot sometime.

    Show your 5 tons in the snow.

    Maybe it's just the angle of the pic but it looks bigger than 1:87

    Show your 5 tons in the snow.

    Is that a model or die cast? I gotta get one of those.

    Fuel Filter Change Procedure... Please double check me?!

    How do you replace the o rings in the primer pump? Is it obvious? Mine just started dropping when i use it although mines an A2 if that matters.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I prefer to keep my factory woodland 3 color camo, but the tan over black looks pretty sweet on everyone else's trucks.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    My place charges me $50 for a tire breakdown/clean+sand/rebuild/new o ring. What's the story with the dry deck mats? Never heard of that before.

    M915A2 highway speed

    I drove M915s in a transportation unit. The original with 16 spd cat trans could do mid 70's easy. The A1/A2 had a 5 spd Allison and could hit maybe 60. We were one of the first units to get A3's and if i remember right were at least mid 60's then i got out of the Army.

    Newbie Questions for M925A1

    Just dawned on me the oil temp you mentioned is probably the transmission oil temp gauge.

    Newbie Questions for M925A1

    In cold weather it'll take a lot longer than 5-7 mins to heat up. If you need it to get warmer for the heat to pump in the cab throw a good size piece of cardboard in front of the radiator like a tractor trailer. Not sure about oil temp gauge it's possible it was installed in the wrong hole...

    6CTA m939a2 overheating issue

    I knew it could vent out the back leaking into the coolant is a new one on me but i can visualize how its possible now

    6CTA m939a2 overheating issue

    I'm pretty sure the way the shutterstat is built it can't really leak air into the system. Also for what it's worth i had a gasket leak at the thermostat housing and have torn mine apart. Mine has 2 openings for thermostats but only 1 thermostat and a rubber plug factory installed into the...
