    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Drained and changed the Transmission and Transfer Case Oil with GL1 - 90W. Thanks to TechnoWeenie for solving the drain plug wrench dilemma, found that the 9/16 inch plug wrench is the best fit. No big chunks came out of either housing, nor was there a lot of metal on the plugs. The oil on...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Not so much worried about the yellow metal issue. From one SS post I heard GL-4 had half the sulfur content as GL-5 and from another that the newer GL-4 and 5 were yellow metal compatible. The GL-4 I topped off the Trans with did not smell of sulfur. There was something else about mixing...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Solved one problem, created another. But first solved my hesitation on acceleration and hard start by replacing the spin on kit I cobbled together with the original canister rig. Was experiencing a loss of power in acceleration, thought it might be a clogged filter giving me the opportunity to...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Topped off the Differentials, the fitting appears to be a half inch square socket. Spent a day looking for an SAE square head wrench key set, could only find metric. Then I realized my half inch ratchet tool has a square head, could it be that simple?...YUP! The outer diffs were down about a...

    NV Insurance in NV

    $5000, in Massachusetts with Hagerty. Essentially it's what I bought it for. In fact they automatically renewed my policy last week, $205. It's not my daily driver, I store it in a tent and I've limited myself to 2500 miles/year

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Used an Engine hoist to hang the tailgate...twice!, yah I put it on backwards the first try, still worked though. Used 5/8 X 4.5 inch Hitch Pins from the hardware store. Still have to do some work to the tailgate itself and the drivers side bed mount which is buggered like a pretzel. My welding...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Burned all but one of the pins out of the hinges on the tailgate of my M813 until I ran out of gas. Only buggered one of the hinges, hey it was only my second time with a torch. One of the previous owners used the rig as a salt truck and pretty much never washed it. When I bought her the...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Replaced the windshields on my M813. Both had delaminated, one had a large chunk taken out right where the inspection sticker would have gone, pretty sure the inspectors would have caught that one... Removed scale with a wire brush. They came apart rather easy, that is once I figured out that...

    Will start only with a squirt of starting fluid. Runs great once started.

    How about the primer pump? Just rebuilt mine, before rebuild the piston just moved freely in the tube, after cleaning and new O-rings there's a noticeable vacuum in the tube.
