    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    If you look on the return side of your hydraulic system, there is typically a 20 to 40+ year old filter slowing things down .

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    So I got that big giant primary fuel filter changed yesterday and it turned into an all afternoon job . The goo that was in it was like nothing I have ever seen before in a fuel system, I could not get it out with solvent, I tried scraping it out, I eventually used a weed burner and burned the...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    So after removing all the CTIS junk I discovered that I have only one leaking tire instead of three, so I replaced that one tire and now all my tires hold 55 psi . Painted my rims with Rustoleum flat black which is a little bit shinier than I thought it would be and I think they look great . I...

    With some help from my lil buddy we removed emoved all of the CTIS Junk from my wheels today, now I can see which ones still leak the worst, and replace them with good known spare wheel/tires that I have . So much cleaner w/o that stuff on there, I shall paint them up proper when paint is...

    I pulled this old 53-ft trailer out of some blackberry bushes for a guy, took him fit longer to figure out where to put it than it did for me to get it out and move it .

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I bought two pair of these led for 64 bucks (4 lights total) put them in my old pickups, work great . Before that I bought different looking ones and put them in my Deuce and 5 ton years ago, they still work great I would never go back, cheapest ones I could find, they're all made in China ...

    Having watched many of this individuals recovery videos it never ceases to amaze me the things that he does and remains in business, clearly there is a severe lack of competition, or he works for free . Holding the throttle to the floor while shifting the transmission from forward to reverse...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I realized it was MIA, remembered I left it on front bumper playing music, found it face down in the dirt with two large tire tracks over it still playing music 😃 Looked in my box of phone junk and realized I already had a new screen for it, pulled out my pocket knife and a small Phillips had...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I have read all the towing TMs I could find until my eyes bled, I have never found where it says what to do with the shifters of the towed vehicle . All these rigs are different, some have auto trans, manual trans, two speed T-cases etc. I'm sure someone will say just put everything in neutral...

    There's a guy on YouTube called "black earth farming" that converted over some 800 series axles to air brake, he has two bridge trucks I'd dearly love to have .

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    If you have the room and the money for a running truck AND a parts truck that is a smart way to own these things, however air brakes are vastly superior . But if that one truck has a dead engine and about to have no winch, it isnt going to be worth much to him or anyone else, sounds like good...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I attempted once again to remove the new family of stubborn and unusually sturdy wasps from the inside of the cab of my M931A2 . Here's a vid: It's a 100° here, I let that engine run at high idle for 15 20 min, as soon as I shut it down (I almost eradicated myself doing so) the wasps were...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Ok so I did a thing, I hooked my Deuce to my 5 ton with my new to me tow bar and dragged it around on the property for a couple laps to see how it felt and see if I could make anything go wrong, which it did . Vid here: Here's a few pics too .

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    What else did you do when you "climbed aboard" ? I doubt that just getting in the truck would cause a problem, but, if the gauge is pegging over it's because is receiving a full ground signal, so somewhere that signal wire is getting to ground like it's maybe rubbed through somewhere, or your...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Okay, so I did more stuff (M931A2) I put that angle iron cross piece back on behind the cab that holds the metal covers over the fuel tanks and spare tire junk . I had taken it off when I made this truck into a water truck, and I also removed the drivers side fuel tank and had a pump down...

    Remove the electronic fuel shut off solenoid from your inj. pump and throw it in the trash, that will fix 90% of your no start issues, and just use the manual fuel stop T- -handle on the dash . I might be working today, but eventually and intermittently it won't .

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Actually after giving it a moments thought, I believe there is a little roller with a couple wires hooked to it on the E-brake handle itself, whatever there is, I predict it's going to fall off on the next bump the truck feels . I'm only interested in stopping the incessant noise of that...
