    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Snow. How did you mount the bed crane to your bed? Did you put a plate under it? Also where did you put the camera in the back? over the pintle hitch? I got the other type of bed crane because the base was wider with 8 bolt holes and not as tall. I also picked up 2 more base plates so I can...

    Steering knuckle boot maintenance questions

    Changed it last night. It wasn't to bad. But, here are the things I would warn people new a doing it. When you put the boot on make sure the holes line up before tightening the ring. Make sure the screw on ring is the same size and the new one you have. The one on my truck was longer and...

    All those route clearance lights must have been expensive. I went with a 250 dollar 52 inch light bar.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Doesn't crank is if no electricity is getting to the solenoid. Batteries are all good and fully charged/maintained. Next time it happens I'll check the connection at the coil with my Fluke Voltmeter to see if its getting electricity. If it isn't it has to be the control box.

    5 Ton ISO Bed Bow length

    its making a little more sense. So, untie the sides. Screw the little straps to the metal angle that attaches to the bow. And weave those straps into the clips on top of the canvas. It that right? I guess the little straps hold the canvas to the angle of the bows.

    5 Ton ISO Bed Bow length

    Not sure what you are saying. Mine has strap clamps on top. But, I can't roll up the sides if the cover isn't attached to the bows from the inside.

    5 Ton ISO Bed Bow length

    Put the canvas on and it seems too long. There are straps pn the outside but no internal straps... So, how do you strap the canvas to the bows?

    Deuce Driving Experience Compared to Civvy?

    Better know how to drive well. Keep your fingers on the outside of the wheel. Start stopping far in advance. Much harder than driving a 5 ton that's 8000lbs heavier.
