Insides look real nice, I paid a bit extra for 6 that didn't have any peeling of the internal coating. No fuel was ever inside these. They look to be painted with CARC paint, somewhat lighter than the mounts I got, different "era" I think.

I just recieved my NOS Jerry cans, it's pretty neat there actually new and left over from the nineties, I located some mounts from another member so now all my rigs can have a can and mount. Two of the cans are rusty and not what I would describe as NOS I'll see if the seller can make it right...

I like to install a 2 gauge pod next to the diagnostic cannon plug on the bottom of the dash on all my rigs, I've gotten the gauge pods at various auto parts stores or Amazon. I think the oil pressure and water temp gauges make a lot of sense to provide some real world feedback on what the...

I have direct reading auto meter gauges in both of my cucv's taking a reading off the water pump. Both read below 180 hear in Colorado. To me it seems like the typical cucv with a good functioning cooling system runs on the cool side. I'm considering changing the tstats over to 160 degree units...

I own a car shop but I did the swap myself, it is a fairly big job but carefull planning makes is easier. Do some searches for the swap here and at pirate4x4 to read about it. Advance adaptors makes the conversion bellhousing. The 4500 is the best combination for 4wd, highway use, survivability...

I drive mine daily, I run 35" tires and a NV-4500 overdrive 5 sped transmission. No problems at highway speeds. Bear claw tires too.....

Trans fluid and filter should be changed on a regular basis for long trans life, especially in a heavy vehicle or off road use. I usually change it out every 2-3 years or after a big overheating event or if it smells burned. Heat and bad fluid are tranny killers. If fear the damage may already...

I might move a storage shed around or maybe lumber/building supplies and maybe even my tractor.

I really enjoy restoring things and do that for a living. I painted my m1028 with CARC paint myself. Im getting old and the truck is so much bigger that what im used to im not sure i could actually do a really big job on one of these monsters. one really has to respect guys building and...

very sweet. whats up with the different makes? such as bmy?

that sounds like excellent advice. thanks.

that is a sweet rig! whats the street price range for somthing like that? post auction from a private party.

I think a 900 series a2 with a winch and cammo cargo cover and a drop side bed is what I'd like to find. I'll check the e auction sites and the classifieds.

That's good to know, I'm reading about the differences in to now. Are the 800 series just older versions of the 5 tons?

I've had mica in the fuel system "filter" that cause problems like your having. The little platelets pack up against the filter but then lay back down allowing flow from time to time. I think the mica comes from contaiminated fuel stations especially in the mountains or rural areas.

Yes, thats really nice look. The m1061 trailer might be a bit big for my Duece but it looks right at home behind your rig.

seeking to join the 5 ton family I have several mv's but now I'm thinking I want a 5 ton. Pro and cons of the various years and models? i think I want to tow a m1061 trailer with it. I really like that look. I'm hoping to get some opinions thanks in advance

I just read it. Make me wanna go work on my truck.....

I say good riddance to GL, I could not in good conscience do business with them any more and eventually just got turned off to buying, I hope the new outfit has better customer service and I am looking forward to getting back into the buying side of the hobby.

I recommend you rebuild the original unit, parts are available from aspwholesale.com. i bet the aftermarket ones are not lubed up properly and have a bunch of slightly misfit parts in them. also other starting problems agrevate the situation. we rebuild all our own alternators and many times the...
