What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

[tbar123]

I called Napa and told them this unit was crap and they are getting a new one, but I think I;m going to go with the other unit that is 20 bucks cheaper and doesn't have the possibility of failure like this one does.Thanks Swamp Donkey!

 

[Scar59]

Zerostart units are what I stock/use. Good choice.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

I think I will go with that one because of the zero leak and two because I get a company discount through them.

No problem.

And it does come with a cord. I just didn't have it on there in the picture.

M817 startup after 12 years: http://youtu.be/_Xq6MmiKuqY

I got it started. Now to find out why it won't restart!

I can't see the video ?? Says Private on both my computer and my phone? Is it XXX rated ??? LOL

I Hugged my 5 tons this weekend

 

[Ferroequinologist]

Opps! pps:

Fixed now! (Video that is)

 

[R Racing]

Thanks for the video. It sounded like either the fan was rubbing the radiator or a valve train noise? But other than that it looked good !! Does it have single or dual fuel tanks ?

 

[AMGeneral]

I used the M62A1 to move 2 M35A2s and pickup a M103 genset trailer as well as a S250 shelter and brand new dump truck dual output PTO.

Dual tanks. Fan barely rubs fan shroud and one blade bent rubs power steering pump pulley

 

[R Racing]

Gotcha. Did you rebuild your tank selector? I did all the lines on mine to. But ultimately my tank selector would suck air more than a hover. Lol

 

[R Racing]

Also curious if you had time to work on your m925 winch ? I'm sure you are more than busy !!

 

[Gunzy]

I have finally gotten all my PTO drive and winch controls in my M923. Now I just need a few gallons of 10wt to finish and test. Then I have to put on my new hood and replace the rear T-case output seal. Then there is no more work on it till I break something.

Coffey1 and I finished the install of my Warn winch. We also broke down a 14:00 R20 to fix a leaking turret valve. It went unexpectedly well coming apart and back together. And my spare has the same problem so it will be a future tear down also. Finally got my cargo cover on also.

Just pulled the batteries and put them on battery tenders to make sure they are ready for the spring wheelin' season.

M925A1 Rear rear pinion seal on the input side. No problem outher than haveing to get out the one inch tire impack to get the 2 1/4 nut back to tight so as to install the cotter pin.

 

[Powershift]

Added LED route clearance lights to the top corner of my hardtop.

 

[74M35A2]

Well, not directly 5T related, but I cut to cord on my 24V impact and installed quick connects on each end of the tool and the slave cable it was attached to. These are the tow truck jumper cable type connectors you see sticking out of their grill.

Now I can use that slave cable as modular to anything else I want powered, like the winch on my bed crane, my 60k BTU fuel fired heater, etc....

I received 2 reverse light kits from another SS member. I didn't put them on yet but did some planning. I'm thinking about putting one light on the rear driver's side just below the brake light. I think I'll run another circuit and mount one light on the spare tire davit to light the cargo area.

Does anyone have just one light as a reverse light? I may install both if needed.

I also did some online shopping for a backup camera.

 

[Coffey1]

I did two on mine a lot better to see with than just one now since you said davit I think I will put one there so I can remove spare at night.

I have one LED backup light on both of my trucks. It works fine for me.
