If you look at the fuel consumption chart, a gasser 5-ton gets 4mpg...while the diesel gets 5mpg, but that one mile per gallon is offset by the gas prices around here. I considered that also before I bought my gasser. Now I have tuned my truck, shortened the gasser exhaust (it was 14' of...

Is something wrong with the gasser?? I'm very pleased with mine....and gas is cheaper where I live!! Gas a gallon= $2.05 Diesel= $2.58!!

I Haven't went and picked it up yet...still waiting on it to be cleaned out completely. I'll post some pics of the move here as soon as I get the phone call. Thanks!

Someone on SS was building a trailer out of a duece frame and rears awhile back. Anyone have any info or pics of the build?? Thanks

I think its in the "Classifieds"!??

They do sometimes say if she is in "Working Condition"! :D

I'm a stickler for spelling words the correct way, and as I was driving earlier to lunch in my Bridge Truck, I recognized that one of my data plates is spelled wrong!! Anyone else ever have/see this problem!?? It should read "Maximum", not "Maximun"!

Looks like they need me to come help pull them up that hill!! :driver:

Great post David. I agree and feel the same way. Maybe thats why I paid WAY TOO MUCH for my bridge truck, but I saw it, I wanted it, and I wasn't leaving without it!! Now it's my everyday transportation. Not because it has to be, but because i'm very proud of it. I hate to see members get...

9 psi of pressure is WAY TOO MUCH and will push right past the float seats, and when it's pumping before it's running, it's flowing down the intake, into the cylinders, right into the crankcase. You wouldn't have hurt the engine internally (normally), but you might need to check your float...

:ditto: Not too bad of an idea Dennis. :driver:

Here the echo?? Just Kidding!! You can look on the "Member Locator" map on here, and it will show where some of us reside.....at least the ones that posted their location!! :beer:

I knew of the problem with the open diff, but since I had lockers, thats why I thought of it possibly, but due to added heat, and I do drive some distance from point a to b normally, i'll stick to the set-up known to work, the stock setup!

I've got a roller fairlead that I plan to install, then i'll be finshed with the cutout. Spent most of Sunday building my toolboxes. I'll post pics tommorow.

If you need help CUCVFAN, send them to me and i'll second your opinion!! Hee...hee....hee....

I plan on using the 47" LTB's. They are perfect for what i'm planning for. How much you selling your rim/tire combo for? I know many "mud-heads" running duece axles.

Thanks for the input. I will be running duece axles under my 1-ton and using 47's for mud play, and plan on using pinion brakes, but after your advice, I will keep the 5-ton brakes stock!! Thanks! [thumbzup]

I was contemplating running a set of pinion brakes on my 5-ton, and was curious if anyone was using them on theirs? And if so, what master cylinder system were they running, with or without vacuum??

Sometimes a filter change will make the difference needed. I had a turbo 350 have the same symptoms, and a fluid and filter change fixed the problem.

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Well... 10 tires DO carry more weight, but how many actually max out the trucks all the time anyway?! I know a few of us actually work the trucks, but not all, so its a preference thing, if you need the extra tire, or not.
