    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    To be fair, they probably don't realize they killed it. They were a co-worker when we recovered the vehicle. Planning to make a mini-home out of it, so I understood that money was tight. Then they quit to work at a different dealer, so it took some pestering to finally get the batteries...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I feel your pain. I loaned out my batteries to help a friend get a vehicle home. They kept them for a couple months, and when I finally got them back,, they had left the key on and ran them dead. Killed a cell in one. Fortunately I only had to buy two. That was months ago and I'm still kind...

    Largest dual tires for 5 ton?

    When they say overwidth, they are saying wider than would be legal for the road.

    Rapco paint is no longer Gillespie?

    The biggest benefit for me, when I used it, was that it eased trigger finger fatigue when painting a lot at one time.

    Rapco paint is no longer Gillespie?

    I've had decent luck with this style. I had a different one that worked a little better, but these do alright.

    Heading to the East Coast

    That's no fun. On the plus side, reinstalling a starter shouldn't be a big fix if you can get the bolts. Now, I don't know a great deal about the FMTVs, but I have noticed traffic about them having a vibration issue. Something about driveshaft phasing, I believe. I would recommend some...

    Same here. Keep trying to make it again, but seem like the truck is down every time.

    Questions / discussion about General Mechanic's Tool Kit

    I have a GMTK that goes with me on any trip. You can do an amazing amount on work with what's in this kit and maybe a couple other special pieces, from changing injectors on an LB7, to swapping a transmission in a Civic. I've added a couple tools but basically original. That said, if I were...

    M35a2 Torque arms

    Set of 12, plus two tie rod ends, and some shock bushings. I believe they only fit the m35 series trucks. Much smaller than the ones on my m51.

    M35a2 Torque arms

    If someone is needing a set of the bushings, I have some I'd sell for 300 plus shipping.

    Flatbed Conversion

    https://images.app.goo.gl/gDvBrdvq6LzEihBz5 But if you want to go flatbed, I like this style. Looks clean, gives cargo boxes, and throws less rocks.

    https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/the-official-m101-series-bed-on-a-pickup-truck-pics-thread.69815/ I like this idea.

    M929/M930 Dump Box Floor Area?

    Sorry for the late response. If you still need the info, here's what I found: Bed width, inside the rails: approx. 82" minus a little at the front where the bolts for the cab protector are. Bed length, inside the tailgate to inside front panel: approx. 125" minus about 2 1/4" for the lip and...

    Loud Bang Coming From the Rear (of my M1009)

    I had a K5 that would pop when turning. Had a broken spring in the front spring pack.

    M929/M930 Dump Box Floor Area?

    A little narrower and about 10' long. I can measure when I get home, if someone hasn't done so by then.

    Pump shut down after battery short

    I would start by checking for voltage to the fuel shutoff solenoid at the injection pump.

    Options/Opinions on Equipment Type Trailer to Pull Behind a Deuce.

    If you go with a civilian trailer, look for one with an adjustable height hitch. Not only can you adjust the height to match different vehicles, but can swap between a pintle ring or a ball hitch. I have a 20' that I can pull behind my pickup or my dump.

    Michelin XL tires

    I don't have any wheels yet. Was looking at lmtv wheels to go with the 395s. I have the new lug nuts already, but would I have to change the studs if I went with the hemtt wheels?
