If you don't know when the fuel filters were changed last, then change them out. Best to have a spare set in the tool box.

Your steering sounds about like it should be. Sometimes Folks will think radials on the steering feels mushy. Toe-in should be 0-to 1*. Play with your air pressure. Its a compromise between an empty truck and a loaded one. Especially on the rear. There should always be that "radial...

Old saying: "Do the Math". Oil pressure is 60/70#. Coolant pressure, 15#

Parked side by side! The big one will do more -- no question, but you should have lots to do with it to. The Deuce will probably be a better starter truck for you to gain experience in, with better economy too.

Welcome to the sight. You have a big bill of needs for either. Be cautious about trying to do everything with one vehicle. Either will fill the bill, but keep in mind that a 5 Ton, will make a Deuce look like a Town Car. Be selective when buying & beware of "deferred maintenance", even on...

Welcome to the Forum. Although I have my share of generators, I can't do much to answer your questions, other then saying the 400Hz is mostly worthless for civilian use. But there is quite a following here, of very knowledgable Folks dedicated to these Generators. Be patient, and they will...

Did it have any DOT 5 in it, when you topped it off? Was the bottom covered? If so, and you didn't use the truck/pump the brakes & such, suck out the Master Cylinder. If the bottom of it was covered, & you pumped a working brake system, chances are that you didn't draw any DOT5 into the...

You have the motor part driving the pump part with a magnetic coupler. Because the motor runs, does not mean its pumping. So test it in fuel with a hose on it. Its worth the time. BE CAREFUL.

I recently did a clutch job, so naturally, I replaced all the seals in the Tranny & PTO. I had noticed that I could not put the winch in its 2nd gear, and just thought that it was an adjustment issue. Once I had the PTO on the bench, I realized the the PTO shift shaft had been installed...

The concept of changing all those beds around, strikes me as super ambitious. Further, what ever you anticipate the cost of the project to be, its way under, already, and you should increase it by three or four times. Its the details in the hook-ups, that will get you bogged down. Not to...

Lots of Folks, with dump beds, leave them blocked up a little ways, so they will drain.

Here are a couple of pictures, of how I did mine. I used 2" auto exhaust pipe. If you start using water pipe, I would be cautious of the weight. Those Genneys are not real smooth, and vibrate a lot - you might cause the manifold/muffler too fatigue and break.Well not sure how I( accomplished...

Sounds like an air-lock in the heater core. One trick you might try is to have the engine running about 1500, and carefully loosen the heater output hose, and bleed out some of the coolant/air, making sure that there is no air in it, and it flowing. I am assuming that the hoses are connected...

It looks correct.

For the steering axle, we mounted 7.50x16's on them. When you get into the boggy stuff, they still give flotation, but on the firmer ground, they don't touch, and steering is easier. With duals on the rear, you have to be careful, that you don't break axles.

The boiling point of the coolant is raised three degrees per pound of pressure. Pressure caps are often taken for granted, but they are very important.

I ran them together, to collect the exhaust, & to get it out from under the trailer canopy mainly. I used a 2" pipe. Sorry, no pictures availiable at this time. I'm running off my laptop - the main PC is down right now. But I think I have posted the pictures before. Especially under one of...

I always thught that was a neat trailer. You got some new tires too.

I have, and used several times, an 1.5" nylon rope to pull out full sized OTR trucks, that were in the ditch, and stuck pretty bad. I have had the flying hook thing happen too. Regardless of wether there is a hook on the end or not, one should be extremely carefull when using straps, ropes...

By the Way, welcome to the site, and thanks for the picture - right on! It looks like a hex socket would work (from the picture). Adjustable wrenches,and pliers, make a mess of things.
