    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Heres 2 weeks ago. Took 2 days to get that stump out. The 5 ton refused to give me low range no matter what i tried. After the job was finished i dumped all the air in the tanks and the truck went right into low range. Guess i have a sticky dump valve on the transfer. Also got the winch...

    M51A2 won't shut down

    Looks to me like it isnt pulling all the way out. If u cant get her shut down im sure you know u can just snuff it out with a board or phone book. Im not sure on those older trucks if they only used a mechanical kill lever. Or if it had an electric kill solenoid like the 855 cummins. Hopefully...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Which way is the water flowing to the heater core? Is the hose by the thermostat the OUT flow to the core and the hose in the oul cooler the return? A1 NHC250 if that matters any.

    Used to be antifreeze... I think at least. Going to finish flushing tonight. Install block heater and a new thermostat also rigging up a spin on filter for the coolant.

    Fuel shut solenoid issues.

    Sooooo... After some finagling everything seemed fine started the truck hit the kill switch and nothing truck stayed running. Out of frustration more than anything else i tapped the solenoid with my combo wrench (not very hard mind you) and the truck shut right down. I have dad restart and...

    Fuel shut solenoid issues.

    Thank you gentlemen, i cant describe how insanely happy i was to have a working shut off switch and not have to use the emergency shut off handle LOL. My 925 has 2 wire put together to one eyelet to hook to the single terminal on the shut off. I also see now there is a fuel leak around there...

I never experienced that issue or what i would consider throttle sticking. But the trucks fuel shut off solenoid has never worked. Last friday...

    How often does your fan kick in?

    Thats an excellent point you have brought up. I have all my coolant sitting waiting for me to have time and flush the truck. SCA's never even crossed my mind so now im curious as well. That said. No matter what i do i can NOT get my fan to come on or my truck to get over 170* on the gauge. So...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Veterans Day parade in Topeka Ks. We had the woman veterans again this year. These gals are tough as nails they crawl right up the ladder and im sure get slammed around pretty good back there with our horrid roads, that and the AT2 tires make the truck bounce on every lug at that low of a speed.
