    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Thats probably a farm thing, nothing to do with weight. No CDL required in Indiana for a farm vehicle regardless of weight.

    Air gauge, chuck, 25’ hose, glad hand with air hose quick coupler installed in the back.

    Essential Tool Kit for a Recovery

    13/16” four point if your truck has duals. Also, you can borrow an outer rear for a blown front.

    Show your 5 tons in the snow.

    M1028 thru M1028a3, cant remember which had what, but at least some had traction aiding diffs, IIRC.

    Where's AHAB ?

    Rum and popcorn, I’m in!

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Stationary high idle (1800rpm ish) using mine as an air compressor cycles my fan even more than hard pulls in the hills. I usually run 180-200 as well.

    Show your 5 tons in the snow.

    Pure speculation but, I doubt it unless you can have some snow tracks made for the back. Virgin snow or thin packed snow maybe, thick light pack from snowmobiles, progress with tire chains probably wouldn’t be pretty. These things are HEAVY with not a lot of ground contact...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    220 seems too high for the fan and 200 too high for the thermostat, but the spread seems about right for your gauge being off. I think you can get a cheap gun a harbor freight, shoot your thermostat housing and the pipe around the shutterstat to verify. Hopefully your just your gauge is off, and...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Thanks for the update on Ahab, good to hear he’s well! Keep us posted on if you notice anything different with the screen removed. I want to start with the small things to try and boost my performance while hopefully lowering my EGT’s, and hope I can get some good data along the way to prove...

    Gooseneck hitch on a 5 ton

    Yes please, we love pictures, also a pic of the trailer connected would be fantastic!

    progress on injector nozzles

    How these working out for you? Grendel? Nevrenufhp? Bueller? Anyone? I want to add a little more power, but l’m already pushing EGT to the limits for my comfort level, completely stock. Rereading some if my favorites and looks like in post #1 Nevrenufhp claims lower EGT with the same or...

    11.00x20 G177 Tires and wheels Value?

    They are on a M923. The first trucks in a series do not have an A anything after the model. Some people refer to this as an M923A0, but some people get bent out of shape by this reference. When when a series gets a major revision/“upgrade” it gets an A1 after the model #. Next revision is an...

    M923A2 Measurement?

    I’m at 47” empty with 80psi in my 14.00 XL’s, so “should” be around 49” with 16.00.

    11.00x20 G177 Tires and wheels Value?

    I doubt they are worth anything to someone who selling surplus tires, and finding someone who wants to trade back to duals is rare, and wouldn’t likely go for tire with that much wear . There used to be a lot of nearly 100% on wheels that went for about $100 each.

    MRAP Adapter Plates for M35A2

    Yes, I believe you are correct but I cant remember who or where the calculations where posted. I also suspect with the bigger bolt circle there is also a lot less leverage on the adapter bolts than the studs and the studs would likely fail even before grade 2 adapter hardware would. The reasons...

    MRAP Adapter Plates for M35A2

    Anyone needing hardware check with the gals at Affordable Fastener, they have tons of this big hardware in stock, and just about any length or grade you can imagine. I went about as expensive as you can get with the 3-1/4” grade 8, and grade 8 Nylocs. Note this is for just one axle, and not sure...

    What have you done WITH your wrecker this week?

    Are you sure that wasn’t a tree? I’m sure whatever it was you pulled it out real good though!

    16.00 on M929A2, pros and cons

    98G is very familiar with these trucks as well. Not sure how much your spending on the m923, but If it a substantial amount and your not yet committed you might take a look at the M818 that he has in the classifieds, lots of cool mods already done that will cost you alot more down the road...

    16.00 on M929A2, pros and cons

    Theres something wrong with this statement. Either the truck is not an A1 or A2, or someone stole the singles off of it? We need pics!

    2019 Haspin
