    Cross Country in an M820

    This is great, looking forward to following along! Those 395s look good. I have the Goodyear 14x20s and was reading in another thread that they're starting to dry up so I figure if and when I need tires I'll probably be looking at 395s. I like the look of the big rubber so I was concerned...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Thanks a lot, great advice! I was actually somewhat like that part of the way, but I was still in too high of a gear I think I was in four, probably should have gone to 3. I had periods where I was just on the brakes and periods where I was doing kind of like you said I will alter my technique...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Yes I was on my pedal the whole way. I have one of those laser thermometers I will check it next time with those. They seemed relatively even to touch and nothing was smoking. I realized that the ticking was the sound of things cooling down. Good advice simp on the leaving them disengaged for...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I do have a little wetness from what looks like a fuel leak coming from that area on that tank. It wasn't there before I started driving. So that's the first thing I'll check thanks

    Drove down to the local bicycle shop this morning to pick up my wife's mountain bike. The shop owner has a bobbed deuce. Purge valve sounds better, it held pressure overnight, very happy!

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I rebuilt my air dryer and found a small leak a loose-fitting going into the secondary tank. My leaky blowdown valve is good now the air dryer looked pretty good inside and everything was working good, but that valve would leak and it would lose air, now it's holding air pressure great, I can't...

    M923a2 Air Dryer rebuild

    I just did mine and it went pretty easily I just follow the instructions in the pamphlets. I bought the two kits off eBay from two different suppliers and I got a really good price on them.
