    Well I have always hated the OEM oil pressure gauge. My m925a2(8.3) truck was a camp dodge rebuild and the oil pressure reads 30 psi on start up and when warm its at zero. Put a manual gauge on it and now I feel better. It's running 75 psi on cold start up and 40 psi at after warming up.

    I thought this was cool, I was painting my m939a2 and I found this MFG tag on the bed. I worked at this plant back in the mid 80s building military truck body's.

    As far as the ramps sliding I have them chained down in two places so they can't and I also drilled a 1/2 hole in the bed and I have a grade 8 bolt and nuts to bolt the top of the ramps to the bed.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    The ramps are made from cad drawings and they were built with the correct length and over built, and yes there is a center support and they are chained down in three points so they will not slide out, and there is a pin in the top to hold it down on the bed. So no it's not an accident waiting to...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I really didn't think the Behr paint would go on this easy with a Hvlp gun with a 1.8 tip. When i got the truck it was very clean and didn't need a lot of body work. I started on a day that was 80 degs and pressure washed it all. I stared by thinning the paint with water and started out. It took...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    CTIS valve core We'll I've been working on my M939A2 off and on, and I've had trouble filling the two front tires as it takes 15 to 20 minutes to fill one tire from 20psi to 70.
