What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

[Plane Fast]

Can't remember who it was who coined the brilliant phrase "Hazard Fright" for Harbor Freight here in some thread recently, but he wasn't far off the mark from what you're saying.

Ya. Lately the only thing worth buying is the cut off wheels, and cheap throw away 12,000lb winch. Oh and kids go cart motor. 6 1/2hp for 79.00 out the door.

Finally put my LED headlights in and LED tail lights as well.

Next is brake fluid remote reservoir and then 24V-to-12V converter and cigarette lighter plug.


No pic of tail. I was slightly off to one side is why they look out of adjustment.

Changed the fuel filters. I had so much junk in the bottom of the canister, it would not drain. I had to pull the spring and seat out. That is a pain to get back in. I had to make a quick tool to get it back together. Tried to make the CTIS operational. No dice.. The system tried it's best to inflate and deflate the tires. Three of the wheel valves are stuck open. The noise was so loud that people four houses down came out to see what all the noise was about!! I've been next to jet engines that were quieter!

Just tell your neighbors it's the sounds of freedom, lol

I have curious neighbors too.

Hahahah. Mine have stop asking questions. Maybe it was the three runway closure sighs I have in front yard that had them give up!

Mine looked like that, but mine were wired opposite of each other so that when one was dim the other was bright!

I broke a wheel valve trying to stop a leak. :/ Parts on their way.

Replaced my broken wheel valve today, and the hose that goes to the axle too. It was frustrating but mostly because I didn't park the truck next to the tools and seemed like I took fifty trips to the tool box for a simple job.

Attached this to back.

The Gods love to mock us.

Fired up the m818 today, and ran it around our property to get the oil flowing and stuff since she has been sitting for a while.
My dad was trying to pull down a 100 foot pine tree that is diseased and threatening to fall over on our office (already had the top of it fall and put a hole in the roof). So I hooked up the 5 ton and helped him out.

Umm.. What?

I asked them explicitly about trucks without years listed because I have a 30yr restriction when it comes to collectors vehicles.

Any truck that's not listed by year, you do the research and tell them the year, and they will put that year on an sf97 and Bill ...

I'll chime in and confirm this. I haven't just been told - I've done it without any problems.

Do bother with HIPAA. He was just "stirring the pot". He may even be banned.

5 ton stuff today. Changed the fuel filters and started loading for my trip Wednesday.

 

[TechnoWeenie]

Picked it up from Bragg... Drove it to WV... Got all new fluids... Installed some additional LED lighting in prep for finishing up trip to WA...

 

[rhurey]

Coolant filter mounted. And acquired some chains for next winter.

Lights on the 813 angle slightly to the center so if you aren't dead center taking a pic or looking at them one looks bright because you are seeing it straight on. But they are bright. If they don't last I'm going with H4s.

I started my paint job. The Behr paint is good stuff.

Tapatalk isn't cooperating right now to post pictures but I will get some up.

 

[Gunzy]

Hauled my '75 BricklinSV1.

Finishing up rebuilding brake system and packing wheel bearings,on that subject,I have a observation I have noticed.

I know the proper location of the cork or rubber seal for the keyway is behind the tab of the wheel seal under the outer wheel bearing,but that being said.........................

Would it not make more sense to place the cork or rubber seal(assuming you are using those) in front of the bearing seal tab under the inner wheel bearing nut so that when you install the outer nut and lock the cork or rubber is compressed between the 2 tabs and effectively sealing the keyway more efficiently?

Just an observation I have noticed,I have done all of my trucks recently this way and it seems to work more effictively that the way the TM calls for.

Just my 2 cents.
