What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

[bigsix]

is it possible the govenor could be causing the air loss?

He said he is maintaining 110 psi. It sounds like a low air problem but if he has 110...how could low air be the issue? Tranny linkage comes to my mind.

hello again folks, well i have been driving in reverse for an hour getting home. my m931 was getting a test run and i stopped to turn off. when i put my foot on the pedal it wouldnt move like the park brake was on. it will only rev slightly in all forward gears. it doesnt have neutral but it will go in reverse in R and neutral. So.........i backed in a circle in the middle of the road and backed home. air pressure is a little low . about 110 on both gauges. no wipers or horn . like there is no air pressure. i can hear air purging like through a baffle but it got too dark to see. does anybody have any ideas?

Tap on the block with the roller on it that is where your parking brake is. And work the roller a few times up and down. With your truck running and parking brake off. If you don't hear the honk out of the stack when you pull the roller up then its stuck.

Mine sticks periodically. Once monday morning and about 6hrs ago.

395s ride great. More power pulling on hills. Also the front tandem is no where near as bouncy as with 14.00s. Pretty smooth actually.

simp I love how you explain your mods. I defiantly save them and have your emails. Cant wait to start doing those you sent me. Thanks!

That little part is where my other tube was cut off. Vs the stock pickup tube. That is quite a few gallons to pickup over the depth and span of the tank

Going to get my rear top prepped to send to awning place to get the rear flap sewn back on. Buy some things off amazon for future projects. And create more projects in my head all while theres a large actual project list to do on it ha!

Also used the harbor freight bed crane to pick up a newly acquired generator from a fellow SS member. Will be posting about that one as never seen this type of generator and need to get a manual for it.
