    I have parking lot envy. Very nice!

    That looks really nice! What was the cost to line a hood? Now that I see this I want to do it to my trucks.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Changed the oil. While under there, saw the dreaded peanut butter coming out of a torn boot ... that it seems like I just replaced ... 3 years ago. (They grow up so fast!) I guess I have a bad seal on that side? Fluid mixing with grease and spilling out of the tear? I changed the front axle...

    Nice work with the tank mounting system!

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I should have tried that. As for the camo, I just follow the old pattern. It was the amount of paint that was coming out that made it very difficult to do the tight turns without drips. Ill try the roller setting next. For doing one color, airless is the way to go. So fast!

    How did you set yours up to keep a reasonable flow? The lowest setting on mine is almost too much. You really have to plan out your spray pattern to keep from getting drips. It’s almost impossible to do a camo pattern with mine.

    Interesting ... I just watched it this morning because it came up on my feed. ! Had no idea it was a members ride. The video was edited very well. Nice work on the truck. I saw a lot of the things you did to the truck that you didn’t talk about. Alternator, headlight control, roll meters side...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Thanks Al. Prep was just to power wash it. Pick a few spots of peeling CARC off it and paint. I have found the surface to be so rough that it accepts the paint easily. The bare metal holds the paint just as well. A couple years ago, I did a test. I had a sheet of 16 ga that was “clean”. I...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Yeah I know. It’s bugged me. I have one green wheel, 5 black ones. I’m debating on the color and finish. Black? Green? Flat? Satin? So many choices.

    Behr Premium, exterior, latex enamel - Satin finish. If only we were closer, I could have painted your trailer, your truck, replaced the window and put an engine in it for you! I used an airless sprayer for the green. I could not get it to spray low enough. I was getting drips. If you were...

    I painted it.

    Trying to decide if I need it “$140 bad”. Thanks for the link.

    I must have one of those signs!

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    * I installed a super duty flagpole holder in the bed. The 1.25” sch 40 pipe will bend before the mount will break. * Replaced the air dryer with a SKF Brakemaster 2000 air dryer. Supposed to be a straight swap out, but it took some drilling and hunting down extra fittings to make the lines...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Oh, ok. I was trying to figure out where oil could have com from. Transmission is a mix of 15-40 and 10 wt hydraulic fluid (15-40 in it prior to fluid change). So ... definitely looks like it could be tranny fluid. T case interlock fail ... could this have something to do with my inability to...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Today I changed out the rear lights for LEDs. Hooked up the air to the air-ride seats. Changed the air filter to a TMG filter. The glass barely registered any pressure, but I bought the filter, so might as well change it out. There was some oil in the filter canniest. Clean engine looking oil...

    Geez. I bet! That rear end took some work! looks great though.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I don’t know what my fan sounds like. I don’t think it’s ever come on. I have pulled heavy loads. Flat towed a 934, loaded bed, etc. never heard it once. Averaging 65 on the highway Saturday, 100 degrees (I’m sure road temp was hotter) needle stayed just left of 12:00.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Drove mine 210 miles back home. Air dryer started leaking at 90 miles, would only hold 90psi. I figured if I just kept the hammer down all the way home I could make it. Nope. Buzzer came on brakes started grabbing. I messaged madjack about something and also told him I was stuck. “Just...
