    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    That's exactly right! It's cheaper to go through a pack of filters than to go through a pump. I hope that after I cleaned what I could out of it this filter change will last a little longer. Then I'll change it again sooner than normal just to be sure. I got a 6pack of filters for $65. Very...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I'm considering putting a flatbed on my M814. I was wondering if any of you have done this, if so I would love to see a picture of it. I think it would be more functional since the 20'cargo beds don't have fold down sides , but I don't want to do it if it makes the truck look all funny since...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I just got my filters that I ordered today. Put the new one on and it fit good, runs good, back to normal. I wanted to say thanks to TechnoWeenie for suggesting that filter.(#bf7587) I thank you for researching and finding that it was compatible to my filter base. Also thanks to all others for...

    Thanks for the link. That is a good price. I paid $25 for the small Carquest filter.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Thanks for the info. That sounds like a much better option for the filter. Where do you get yours at?

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    That is a good suggestion. However I always prefill the filter and wet the seal before screwing the new one on. Also I checked and made certain that the old seal was totally removed also. I'm hoping that it was just the little bit of residual gunk in the tank that I couldn't get out that stopped...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I did check the pickup tube. It is steel but wasn't too bad rusty. However the tank was very rusty inside. I tried to clean as much of it as possible, but with the baffles in the tank you can't get to every section of the tank to clean. So I just got what I could and said I would change the...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    This last time I used a 86109 filter from carquest. I know it wasn't nearly as large as the filter that was previously on it, but when it stopped up last time it was in a place that I couldn't leave it so I had to get the only filter I could find in stock at the time. I usually run a much larger...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I had to change my fuel filter in mine today after it started stopping up and cutting out on me. It's been converted to a spin on filter unit. On a side note, how often do most of yall have this issue? Mine sat up with some old fuel in it for a while and the tank was very rusty and had gunk in...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Hello, if you like the old school feel of driving a manual transmission, there is nothing better than the 800 series. It just seems more enjoyable to drive a manual 5 ton and the 855 cummins on the 800 is legendary for reliability.
