    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Thats no joke. Has anyone else received messages from him that were just a couple letters or a riddle or a terrible dad joke? He does that just so you will respond i think. example. "Ive been reading a book on anti gravity, it's impossible to put down". Then i get about a dozen messages that...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I would say the main reason is winter. Going from 4 of the 6tl to 2 of the 8d we gain cranking amps but loose reserve.( these 6tl's were the 625 cca). On a bad winter day and with no block heater away from any power source, i want to spin those 855 cubes as fast as i can to get her to light...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Ive been seein this a lot here on the last few trucks. A gentel pull on the sensor and they usually just pull right out and fall apart. You will see its just a pressure contact switch. And ive done a couple by just re soldiering the connection at the contacts. Other times the switch can just...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I still need to study the pump to get my girl turned up. I get zero smoke at all which is fine but when compared to the 923 our 925 is so lazy.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    It looks to me like the tire was rotating in reverse when it was snagged on something? Just by the tear pattern but perhaps its from slamming also?

    I suppose it was for fording. But the a2 ROPS trucks location is ideal. I just cant make myself pay the premium these guys are wanting for the relocation kits.

    1450 had them in the 925 for 2 years or so. They have been fantastic. I wish the batteries were outside the cab that under the seat crap is a terrible idea.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    923 is getting her 8d's. I let the genius charge them up first. I always like my batteries at their max lethal levels for when i work on them. No pic but the cobra classic is mounted in the 925. Mounted it on the winch control tower.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Cable ones arent too bad but i would like more stability myself they do gove way under my wide load butt. The old man is who needs them more. Parade duty with a bunch of off and on in and out climbs get him worn down.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I have but it folds the wrong way it folds accross the step as apposed to with the step. So if you hit something with the step it wont fold out of the way correctly. the cable ones i could slap together for you by saturday if you would like. Wouldnt need anything for it, we should have more...
