    He didnt seem to care. The only difference would be slack adjustment on the air brakes so I just verbally described the procedure on a S cam style brake. We still went over the air pressure gauge portion.

    I took my class B test in a deuce over in Fontana. Luckily the instructor served in Vietnam and he loved the truck. He didn't cut me any slack though. I wouldn't hesitate to take it in a 5 ton but the truck has to be fully legal and you'll have a auto trans restriction on your lic Sent from my...

    M105; Questions about my first recovery

    7" isn't that big of a drop, I would just tow it. Note that the trailer safety chains will probably not reach your truck. Bring some extra chain and hooks. Even with 0 psi in the tires they wont be flat. Just make sure the thread isn't coming apart.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    The wife and I celebrated 11 years married and she asked to go offloading. That's her driving.

    5 ton turn signal switch

    I broke the turn signal handle on my steering column. Looked on the auction site and there are a few variants. Will any of them work on an A2? I'm shocked with how expensive they are.

    DIY Water Injection System

    Make sure the inlet to your air compressor is before the water nozzle. Otherwise your compressor will be sucking all that mist

    5 ton questions help a newbie out

    Clan, be very cautious of the bad advice you get on the internet. Your DMV questions are CA specific and what these guys are telling you isn't accurate

    1984 AM general M923 wo/w transmission over heating

    Take Simp's advice, if you switch to DEXiii make sure to add an additional cooler. ATF doesn't handle high heat as well as 15-40 will. The radiator cooling fan doesn't come on until 190 degrees which means the trans heat exchanger will only cool to about 190

    Not good for California MV owners or buyers

    You do not need commercial reg before applying for historic. I took in a SF97 on a M35A3 and M931A2 and received historic reg. No weight cert required.
