    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    For those that don’t want to sacrifice interior room, you can use a cab roof mounted unit (Red Dot R-9777 or equivalent. Some are also using an under-dash kit from Vintage Air or such, and these are around $500. A third option is to put the evaporator into the heater core box, but it will never...

    Here’s your pic, they were my welding instructors. I don’t want to clog this thread with me or conflict, there is enough of that in my own threads.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Drilled and tapped 12 new torque rod end links for retainer plates. Next up, swap them out with the old/failed ones. Ordered a 2-1/4" offset striking wrench to hopefully fit the center nuts without disassembling spring pack. Worst case, make the Swampdonkey socket tool.

    All 5-tons: Heavy Duty Torque Rod Ends

    Ha! Just did my first power tap, and nothing broke! Go team! I ended up tapping with the mill, just unlatched the spindle (quill?) so it could free travel down under its own weight. Turned out perfect! 11 more to go.

    SC, we haven’t even done business together yet, thanks for being reasonable. Not sure why Simp is saying such, sorry to hear it. Bought him lunch the first and only time I met him, helped him at one of his offload sites for free when requested, gave him a brand new Delco brushless alternator...

    M939 Frames...

    Same as I was wondering, besides the holes drilled into them..... Isn't it just straight C channel set apart a standard width?

    Losing air pressure when emergency brake is on.

    There is no such thing as emergency brake.

    Nevada - 5 ton's license plates pulled by DMV

    ...then send silverstate55 a pizza lunch for curing your headache with his extensive knowledge and efforts on the subject. Very cheap cost to rectify that type of issue.

    Don’t lighten up, the weak are killed and eaten. Don’t be jealous of 3 broken torque link rod ends, you’ll have them also.

    M925a2 Power Surge

    Solar almost done. Then dog bone links, both rear axles are held in place with ratchet straps right now. Probably not very conducive to receiving 400hp. Then engine swap. Hold tight.

    Got it. Either the plate or his jealousy. :) We should hang out sometime. Send me a PM.

    Michigan Title Issue

    You need to give more details when you describe, both complete sides of the story. Get it plated correctly. Guessing you didn't move the title into your name yet either? I do the big $ weight plate, and I have never been pulled over in the 5 or so years and 10,000 miles I have owned my...

    Michigan Title Issue

    Wrong thread department, but cool you are driving it that often. 257.701 deals with single beam headlamps, and there is no c provision in that category. Do you or him have the MCL coded correct? I know a cement delivery truck is taller than you in nearly all regards, so you'll likely just...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    There is no part number, I custom build them from modern conventional components to fit each application. 24v is somewhat rare in US except for a few buses and most all off-road applications, so I don’t always have stock.
