What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

[diverman555]

Finally able to replace the hood that GL caved in. This will look so much better.

Added boost,pyrometer and moved heater control cables.

 

[Suprman]

How is it with the boost turned up?

 

[camoyj7]

She runs pretty good now.

 

[Suprman]

How much did you turn it up and was it hard to do. I would like another 30-40 hp but I don't want to damage anything in the driveline

 

[camoyj7]

Not exactly, I repaired the Sprague last month. It was about a 16 hour job with the tools I had to work with. I did paint the 5 ton and my deuce last week though. I had to get them ready for a show this weekend. Hope I'm through painting for awhile! I used six gallons of paint.

Did you see any cracking or dry rot? Also was there any rust on the cyclinder? I think I have one pod leaking. I try to drain the tanks every use but I think water still gets in the system.

The other day I notice some bubbles in paint near the tie down outside ring on the cargo bed. Looking close I see the welds are not completly arounf the full circle. Water seeps between the backing plate and the wall of the cargo box. YES I would rust. Under the layers and layers of paint the rust was forming. I got out the nail gun and starting chipping away. I did have one hole but the others were surface rust. In any regards another problem found and taking care of. Be aware of these tire down rings hidding rust!

 

[Suprman]

Rear view mirror, license plate light and upgraded all the running lights to led

 

[cj8scrambler]

Installed a new 100 amp alternator and a pulsetech solar charger on my m925.

 

[Welder Sam]

I tried to pull a pete over backwards with my 816. My camera man stopped taking pics before it got good. I could see the hood trim over the sleeper. I hadnt started pulling with my winch in these pics. Folks just scattered when i did

 

[insanejecke]

Cool man wish you had more pic or a video =(

 

[RobM923]

Painted my M923 this week

I painted my truck this week, started Tuesday at noon and finished today (Saturday) at noon. Had a great time doing it and it came out great, I used a high build two part primer made by Awl Grip and sealed it with a acrylic paint made by Awl Grip and a flattening agent. Next week I'm doing all the stencils, name plates on bed, reflectors and some other stuff. Attached are some pics., hope you guys enjoy them. Sorry the pics. might be out of order.

 

[Suprman]

I would be curious to see the 100 amp alternator and part numbers.
