What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

Oh another tip if making a long run just buy 2 gauge jumper cables and cut ends off it's actually cheaper to buy cables than real wire sadly . A 20 foot set of cables cost me 42 dollars and that's 40 feet of 2 gauge fine strand

What's the story there, is the conductivity not good?

Plumbing solder uses acid core.....It'll corrode everything...

Those hammer crimp anvils are for Vikings stuck on the side of the road.

It's a lot easier to carry a $20 4" anvil than $300 pair of hydraulic crimpers that take up more space than a tire iron...

I'll leave the hydraulics at home

Check out your local welding supply shop..You'd be surprised how inexpensive it is, ESPECIALLY if they have remnants, short sections they can't use...

Took this one for you guys, helmet horns not included.



Solder them with the $19 torch to begin with, and not need any on the side of the road.

I did the same thing for posterity sake last year... But 1600's are no joke...

 

[Tinstar]

I bet those 1600's zapped the power.

How about a pic of the whole truck with the new rubber?

16.00s arent killer on power down low on a 250 truck. The 395s with runflats are pretty heavy. the front tandem hop goes away with them.

yeah - what Simp said. I think it actually made it feel faster. Could just be the increase in altitude.

I don't think I could lift those. Wes chucked the 395s off his truck no problem and I go to pick them up and....... Nothing. Didn't have my big girl panties on

Don't let the boy see you, I'm sure it would cause permanent damage.

Installed the trucklite leds my parts guy ordered for me and some trucklite 07392 floods for backup lights for working on the trailer. I plugged them into the blackout wire since I don't use it but would be better for night time and not running all my lights

Make sure you hook your front turn signals to the black out leads! If not, you will be blacked-out on the front of your truck. Nobody will see you backing in if they are on the road facing your truck. I had that happen once... ONCE!

He was secure in the house. I told him I unloaded 3 at a time....... Piece of cake

Hey got my transmission in and going. I refilled with atf and it is a totally different machine. I would recommend changing the motor oil out and using atf. It shifts smoother and downshifts smoother also.

Good news BIG SIX !
