    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    vvwilkins, glad my video helped. I learned the hard way not to leave the bead lock compressed over night. It will stay compressed and not want to fit into the tire. I'm in San Dimas if you ever need any help.

    The old manifold gaskets were original and there was a bit of pitted rust between the manifold and head flanges. Time, heat and moisture ate away at them. The upper bolts sit in a little trough and collect water, rust and eventually break off when you try to remove them.

    Blew an exhaust gasket. I guess it didnt like 36psi of boost and its old age. 6 of the 12 manifold bolts broke off in the head and I has to weld a nut to them to get them all out. While the manifold is out I surfaced it on my mill. She's flat now

    Big Block, I can't tell for certain but it looks like you have NPT to JIC(or AN) fitting coming out of that filter housing then going to brass NPT fittings. JIC and NPT fittings aren't meant to thjread into each other

    I know it's ugly, but do you think it will lower egt's and keep the filer minder from going to the red? I just hope I don't catch any birds lol This is just temporary to see if it helps with airflow

    Wes, is this the same truck with AC. Curious how many amps you're pulling with fans and AC on

    I pulled my dash and cleaned up a bunch of stuff. Added a boost and pyro gauge while I had the dash out.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I mounted up 8 16.00R20's this weekend. I had all the wheels, tires and beadlocks pressure washers and ready to go. I got down to 27 min a tire but in this video it took my 32min total. I was having a heck of a time with the beadlock. The video might be boring to most of you but all my friends...
