Put up a swimming pool.That is so nice, dump option would be nice!
so I see a lot more than 5 tons in the back of the truck. I read somewhere that 5 tons was for off road on the old trucks, but what about the m939s? I have a 931a1 with a 11' dropside on it. I want to get a water tank for the fire season ( just for around my house.) and was thinking 2,000 gal tank would be nice, but that is way over 5 tons. I think 1200 gals is about 5 tons.
I know these trucks are heavily built, but should I stick to 5 tons max? What issues should I anticipate?
I dont think someones road ranger can walk the kitty catSwamp- my bumper may be moist and lubricated, but I’m confident an Allison can’t walk the cat down the street
I’m near the halfway point, with a place and the string, so we can find out... “when” someone gets their truck done!I dont think someones road ranger can walk the kitty cat

Thanks, yea I can see that. I mainly was going to use it logging on my property. I like the clean look up front without it best, but it would be so usefullBomb proof but really really kill your angle of attack. Go into a big hole bummer sits down on other side and your stuck.
Are you saying it would put one up? forgive my densenessPut up a swimming pool.
You remove the 3 screws holding the plastic dusk cover to the dryer. There is a snap ring that holds the valve in place. Once you have it out you have access to both ends and the bolt you speak of can be removed.Took my truck for a small load (5 tons) of limestone for the driveway into a property I have. Stopped on the way at Pilot to get fuel before it hits $4/gal. and my air pressure was holding at 90 psi. The secondary held at 90 but the primary dropped to 80 when I hit the brakes to ease out on SR149. That got me nervous but when I accelerated the pressure went on up to 120 on both gauges. Then I stopped to drop off recyclables (still inroute to quarry) and it happened again. Upon acceleration it all returned to normal pressure again. Then at the quarry it dropped again but to 60 psi while headed out. With 1/8 mile very steep downslope coming out I was getting very nervous and was looking at that emergency spring brake override thinking how great overkill is! I just didn't let off the brake pedal completely so as to not loose more air by hitting the pedal again. I then stopped on the gravel county road, after the slope, to kick off the loose gravel by the tailgate and listen for air leaks. There was an audible hiss by the upgraded PURest air dryer. Crawled under to find it was the purge valve. I blocked it off with my hand to make sure that was the only source of the hiss and it was. I tried driving it at higher RPMs in lower gear and it climbed to 120 again. Eased it 15 miles home only touching the brakes three times (sessions) and got back home with 60 psi and the alarm and warning light came on as I braked to stop at the truck's normal parking spot. It didn't build pressure again since where it did after the dirt road where I cleaned the tailgate. I used what daylight was left to take the purge cover off and fiddle with that valve. Restarted (drained after shutting off when I parked) and it shot to normal pressure.
Sorry for the babble but just wanted to make the scenerio clear and maybe this will help someone help answer my question and maybe help others with a similar issue in the future.
My question is, what is the 3/8" headed bolt in the middle of the purge valve? I tried taking it apart with that bolt but it just spun. How do I disassemble the purge valve to clean it or replace it? Also, will the truck be alright with that weight in it for two days? I have other work to do tomorrow so if it is harmful to the truck (that I usually baby) I will get up at 5 am to go unload it. I only need to brake once or twice max to the place where I need to unload it.
It is the 5-ton. Thanks, I keep forgetting the 800 series data plates did say 10 tons on highway and the suspension hasn't changed on to the M939 series.You need to take it apart it's easy and yes your truck will be fine with the weight she was built for twice that . Depending on the truck looks like you have a few
Assuming the 929
Ok. Thanks Swamp. I did take the cover off but will do so again with my readers on and look closer for that snap ring. So the whole round black thing drops out and then I should be able to see how it seals when closed? I just picture dirt and rust in there since this truck sat a few years as the unloader valve was really cruddy when I first got the truck.You remove the 3 screws holding the plastic dusk cover to the dryer.

I did a post with instructions and pictures but I can't find it now.
