With the way my windshield leaks at the bottom of the frame, last time I drove it in the rain I think it rained more inside the cab then it did on the outside.

I am assuming it has the original Spicer transmission. If so here is what Spicer's website shows: Spicer SAE 50 Synthetic Gear Lubricant for Manual Transmissions Spicer SAE 50 synthetic manual transmission lubricant is specially formulated for extended drain and severe service in heavy duty...

Thanks for the info. That gives me something to think about if I ever have to tow another vehicle. Glad it ended will for you, it could have been much worse.

This is just for my knowledge only and not in any way, shape, or form saying you did anything wrong as I have zero expirence towing a MV. I am just wondering so if I ever have to tow another MV with my 923A2 I have some more knowledge. Did you use air from one truck to another for brakes or...

I have been looking at backup cameras too and my thought was to hook it up to a toggle switch. I know there are ways to hook them up so they come on automatically when you put your vehicle in reverse, but I like the thought of being able to turn it on while driving if needed to have a rear view...

3 pages of bashing someone's ramps? Really guys? Can we get back to the topic of this thread "What have you done to you 5 ton this week". If you would like to talk about ramps then we can start another thread for it. If the ramp thing keeps going a mod may shut the thread down. I understand...

Trying to get ready to take the truck to a 4th of July fireworks show tomorrow so I needed to fix a few things. I had an issue with my emergency flashers, an air leak and not building correct air pressure, and my air horn not working. So having some time today and my wife doing better after...

So I had some time to work on it today which is a good thing because I want to take my truck to one of the 4th of July fireworks shows here. I ended up with dirty contacts and a somewhat loose connection. I went to take the signal switch off and noticed the cable that connects to the switch...

Thanks tbar. That is greatly appreciated. She is doing good. Still in pain but getting better. I'm hoping in a day or two to be able to get to work on the truck once she is in better shape to do more on her own. Or if I can I will sneak out while she is asleep and pull the signal switch and...

I haven't had a chance to work on the truck recently. Work got crazy last week and then my wife just had surgery. I need to get her through some recovery from her surgery and then will get back to it and will let you know.

That's awesome!

JB Weld and duct tape can fix anything!:grin:

nopics The first pic shows what tab to use to get to the upload area. The second pic is what will come up. Even if using your phone use the "From Computer" option not the URL option. Then just look through your phone to find the pic. We need to see the 5 ton swimming pool.

Yeah, there are a couple of us here. I have the one, I have a brother in law that lives in Clint with a long bed 5 ton, a wrecker, and a deuce and a half. There is another guy with an old 5 ton in town too. He bought my old M52A2. My brother in law and I offroad our trucks quite a bit and...

First off welcome to the 5 ton club from another El Paso member. There are a couple of us here in El Paso. A bit of advice for this site is everyone loves pictures and sometimes pictures can help people give you troubleshooting ideas. Take this for what it's worth as I don't have near as much...
