Yea, sorry my bad,:-( its the one (and only) in my profile pic. It's a bobbed 5 ton with 52" tires.

I've been reading this entire post but have not been able to locate any info on what now exactly the best tire pressure is on a super single in different weather. I own my truck about 2 months now and we had a bit of ice on the back roads which really scare the bejeebes out of me. The truck...

The only thing heated is my block, the oil should be clean though, it is old oil but I ran it trough a centrifuge. According to the advertiser of the centrifuge it should be filtered down to 1/2 micron. I was thinking of doing a 1 in 10 mix.

My engine is an NHC 250, it is that considered a multi fuel engine? and if not, how much wvo would be save to mix with the diesel?

:ditto:Got the same problem, I notice on the given website they are offering 5 different lengths. There I don't know the original length I don't know which one's to order for my 5 ton.:oops: Any one know the answer? My studs are about 1/2" shy of covering the lug.

That seems a helpful link, could anyone tell me what the exact size of the studs needed is? My nuts which need a 1 1/2 inch wrench are about a half inch short of covering the lugs.

I need a rebuild kit for the air cylinder on a 5 ton, anyone know the part number for that? I am running out of keywords, here and on google.

Bummer, but yea the front window sounds like a solution thanks for that info. :grin:

I sometimes manage to lock myself out, from the inside I can lock the door but can not unlock the door from the outside. There I am in the habit of holding the door lever when getting out I lock it. Is there somewhere a hidden knob I don't know about that unlocks the door from the outside?

I want to take mine on a vacation to the Niagara falls this summer, anyone know what the Canadians stance is on letting this kind of traffic into their country?

I dunno bout a deuce, I am using my 5 ton pretty much for everything, doing groceries, to the mall, and just in general bumming around, I just don't shut it down until I'm home again in order to keep it running as hot as possible.

knuckle boot change I have also a problem with a knuckle boot, and am wondering, do I need special tools to change that boot or is it doable by hand?

You bought Sandy? I saw that video on you tube I was going to bid on that one, but then the add got yanked because he had it listed wrong.

I was shopping around for my M818 and most insurance companies did not know how to insure that, but I ended up with state farm. I have full coverage for $500 a year. I found that pretty reasonable: on the other hand I was just glad I found a company to finally insure me [thumbzup] The agent came...

I noticed lately that when I back up it feels like the brake is tightening up.:-? First I blamed it on the parking brake not releasing after use, but now I am no longer using the parking brake for that reason, and it still is binding up. I checked underneath and the parking brake was not...

I am looking at buying one, how does it work? it does not look like it circulates. I just wonder how it heats the whole block.

I am looking at buying a centrifuge and saw you added gas to the mix for cold start. I got an NHC 250 and its pretty hard to start in even mild weather. How much gas is safe to add? I'd like to try it but don't want to blow up my engine.

Today I just noticed a rip in my knuckle boot of about an inch length. This article is very helpful to me. Just like the initial poster I can not find any info in my manuals.:?

I got a bobbed 5ton, I was wondering what kind of engine is in those? I know its a 250 commins, but are those MV or only strait diesel?:?:

Hi all; I got problems with my glow plug on my M818. I checked all the components only to find out there is not a wire going to the battery. I checked all the manuals (the ones I have) and can not find anything on that. Does anyone have a simple sketch that shows me from which connection I need...
