    Christmas in March?

    Since picking up my 5 ton, I've been scouring the net for odds and ends to get everything "right"... from dash light lens covers to other smaller items that just "nitpick" my brain... my girlfriend says between the boxes and envelopes, it's starting to look like Christmas at the house! When I...

    Odd tire failure

    Is it the metal valve stem with the nut that secures it? Possibly the nut backed off and is allowing a leak. Tighten the nut. If its rubber, old valve stem, replace it. A pic would really help! Good luck!

    CARNAC's Historical VIN INFO Thread

    Ok, edit... simple Google search returned "Registration Number"... so I'm an idiot.... Question pertaining to truck markings... if the truck were say a USMC instead of Army or other branch, how would the REGNO work into the scheme of things? Forgive me, I was arty, not motor T.

    Seat covers

    All- Just like the majority of our older seats, mine were in poor shape when I bought my truck. The passenger seat was faded from green to blue and ripped and the driver seat was... abused.... no big deal to me. I am using State Farm for my insurance and it was recommended by my agent that...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Troubleshot smoking my battery (it was ganchy corroded connectors) changed them out, checked out my voltage draw, turns out my battery kill switch doesn't work, installed a heavy equipment battery interrupt to kill the batteries and took a paint chip into Lowes to have them match paint so I can...

    It's the small things...

    When I bought my 5 ton, Doug (Trailboss) was really awesome about going over the "small" things that could give me trouble during my day to day loving of the truck. One of the things he mentioned while we had the hood up and was going over different items was the emergency shutoff solenoid. He...

    Smoking a battery

    By "that battery" I'm assuming you mean at the dogbone. There is nothing but the doggone attached.

    Smoking a battery

    At my buddies shop and installed a heavy equipment battery shut off. While installing and testing, found my voltage draw also. My "Battery On/Off" switch stays in the closed position, so my power was never shut off. When it warms up gonna permanently mount the shut off and maybe pull the battery...

    Smoking a battery

    It shows "Green", but I also put a multimeter on it whilst I was idling and it showed ~27 volts. That was with all lights on for full power draw.

    Smoking a battery

    All- I am having trouble with my truck smoking one of my batteries. Brand new type 31s, when fully charged, (brand new) no issues. Both times I've driven the truck when I shut down, when I go to start, my inner battery is toast (digital charger reads ERROR and my mechanical charger shows a...
