What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

[someoldmoose]

Nope. This whole thing has just fallen together like clockwork. Meanwhile, friends can't find the truck they want anywhere with 1000 miles of them.

BhpBrad, you just gave me an idea for the M927 tiny home I'm planning on doing should I ever add a winch, which I'd like to.

Got a good friends 923 here for a make over. Its going the same dark green/brown as our 925. Had to replace a brake pot on the rear, new mrap air dryer waiting to go in, and tmg battery cut off switch.

Only thing i have run into is the **** low air alarm goes off occasionally and wont turn off. Im hoping the new dryer will help it clean up its air system a bit. Its dumoing air every 15 seconds on the dot so i know the drier is shot.

BB88, don't forget the FS black that goes with the 383 green and brown. There is a blue component in FS "black" that most blacks don't have and it does make a difference (looks good next to a new painted rebuild).

Yes sir you are correct on the blue hue added to make thr black correct. On old faded trucks you can actually see the black tiniting blueish.

Our truck and this one are going solid green. We paint all our trucks the color of my pops m48 and m60's from his tanker days. Vietnam era color.

When you mentioned brown, I thought (3 or 4 color) camo and the current colors. Myself, I like black lower, even with majority green. Happy painting!

Changed my oil filter after 6000 miles which was 110 engine hours. Took an oil sample to send off. Added Lucas Stabilizer and ran the grease gun thru everything. Rhino sprayed the inside of the doors and kick well as well as the steps and fuel tanks. Added some more spray foam to fill in some spaces. Will be cutting all that excess off tomorrow.
Also gave a driving lesson. We arrived alive and she didn't burn it up.

Went and fueled up one tank for my day trip to CSMDavis' on Monday. Don't find 1.90 a gallon much.

Worked a little on my replacement fuel tank that I am making for the passengers side that has more capacity than the stock tank. It will add another 15 to 17 gallons and take up the same amount of space.

Check your ABS fuses. I see that your ABS light is on and it may be simply a blown fuse.

ABS is unplugged for a reason. I don't use it.

make it more easy to understand. Heavy trailer with a long tounge that has ABS doesn't do well on a truck with ABS when it and the truck are empty. THE END.

Well 2 gallons on her. Needs another quart for mirrors and other small items an area too tight fir the big guns.

That is sharp!

Needs about 2 hours in the sun then its on to trimming all the matte black in on the letters and stars.

we do mix it with a bit of gloss. The shine dulls out in a couple days and leaves a nice semi flat color.

I really like that color.
Would you PM me the paint code please?

 

[big block 88]

Its actually in this thread somewhere. I will dig around for it or just post a new pic here later this evening.
