    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I finished the air cleaner modification and took her out on a decent run. She seems to have a lot more power on hills and when you floor the throttle at 1800 RPM you can feel a surge and hear the turbo spool up. I went to two diesel shops today trying to find someone to turn the fuel up...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I'm getting the M927A2 ready for the GA Rally. Drove it to a antique truck show yesterday (50 mile round trip) to shake the cobwebs out. Got a lot of compliments on it. Today I straight piped it and tomorrow I'll do an air filter conversion so it can breath even better. I'm also going to try...

    In the process of battery service. According to the guy at Auto Zone I got one good TL out of four (thank you Murphy). He said one of them was iffy so I'm charging the two best ones and hope I can just run on two batteries. Otherwise I'm looking at about 300 bucks for two high CCA civy...

    The 5th wheel is behind the M925 dropside bed. I got tired of pulling the trailer with a converter dolly. It's a lot easier to back like that.

    I moved the modified M927A2 with the "circus wagon" in tow to the warehouse where my movie office is located. I had a lot of wardrobe items stored in there and I'm getting ready for the GA Rally. This building is 360,000 square feet divided into four sections. I rent a small office space for...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I have the loaner M927 parked next to the driveway angled down which allows water to collect in front of the 20 foot bed. Yes the drain holes are terminally clogged. I cranked it up yesterday and backed up slowly until the water ran out of the back in a raging torrent. I pulled back up and...

    Fellow member SMURPH and I took our trucks to First Friday in Gadsden, AL the other night. Met a lot of folks that really liked the trucks. The photo on the right was taken at my primary film location, an abandoned steel mill in Gadsden.
