All I know is new optimas are not like the ones from 10+ years ago. If your looking for an AGM type battery look at deka's intimidator line. Same price roughly, made in the us and have great reviews.

This is sorta off topic but I see your in Hillsboro. I'm on the edge of sw Portland so I always like seeing another ss member in the area. No od for me yet but I'm getting close. If you ever need a hand drop me a line, I'd love to see your project. Jared

A lot if the tm's and lo's can be found under the "resources" tab at the top of this page. I'm not 100% sure which number the 5 ton service manual is, but most have descriptions. Good luck!

I might as well just let you know we are all gonna want lots of pics of the truck, the Man trucks are like the rare version of the HEMTT! Sorry I'm not of any help, i know there are a couple other Man truck guys here so hopefully they will chime in.

Never owned a vehicle with a PTO (and still dont) but i have a question about them and this seems like a good place to ask: What is the difference (in use) between a transfer case pto and say a transmission pto? I assume they vary on when they can be engaged but im not really sure. Thanks, Jared

Like for towing? the front glad hands provide air for the entire system, rear included. If you can not provide air then the brakes need to be caged.

will you be able to keep us updated through the trip? Wish you best of luck and drive safe. Jared

Ya, I remember reading the outputs are flipped. Don't they also have a tendency to break? I would be curious to see what three new sets of gears would run. A lot I'm sure, but how much? 500 a set? 1k a set?

It works and I'm sure there are lots of pics on the forum of other members flipped hubs. Not sure if you noticed this thread was from 2006, 4 years ago...

I've heard there is no cross reference for this pto so your stuck finding that exact tranny in a civi app, which I've heard is rare. Not sure on applications in the civi world, someone else may have more info. This is all hearsay though, so take it with a grain of salt

I have heard here that detroit makes lockers for the 5 tons, with a large price tag. These guys http://www.redbarncustoms.net/5TONROCKWELLPARTS.html Make some too, for 3400 a set. Ouch.

Ft lewis sold a bunch of them couple months back iirc. Always seemed like a neat idea.

very neat, looks like you guys keep plenty busy.

What's the story behind the od/civi looking truck posted above? Looks super cool!

Nice! I like this idea, Great for field work/repair.

makes you wonder who/how that was done. I can only imagine....

Ya i would love to come up for a day and check that m920 out when you get it back. Hope you both have a successful and safe recovery. Edit: Maybe i'm just confused, or don't have that good of an eye, but the auctions you each posted show the exact same engine bay shot. The ground, rust or...

This intrigues me. Have never driven an air braked trailer setup, wouldn't a proportioning valve of some sort make sense? In your example i would think the trailers brakes are getting beat on pretty good because they are going to try and slow the truck down before the trucks brakes have a chance...

Equipment Trader or was it something more local?

You can, i think the wheels typically used are actually a touch on the small side. I think Reb87 posted a thread talking about fitting 16x20's vs the standard wheels.
