I haven't even crawled under this thing yet to find out the problem, but our parking brake on our 5 ton does not work. The knob on the end of the handle is very tight (stuck) but it will not hold the truck. Anybody have any pointers on this?? Will this brake hold this truck on much of a grade...

Mmmmm...what a creampuff

Since we are on the topic, was the 5 ton cargo used mostly on or off road ??

Our M813 is showing 11,800 miles and 1,200 hours. The tag on the door said it was rebuilt in 93. I've often wondered the same thing and hope that this truck will last our department many years. One reason for us buying this 813 was for the rough and tough conditions that our brush fire trucks...

Well, sounds like everything is in order. I appreciate the feedback gentlemen . . . I would like to post progress pictures on this thing but I am too dumb to figure out how to shrink them down. Chad

Clinto, I am glad you said that !! I forgot to mention that this man said that soda would not warp the metal. I was thinking that 2 large bills was a good price or at least "fair" in that I'm not making much headway at the pace that I am going and I would like to get this thing done in a fairly...

After much sweat and tears with a wire wheel and DA sander, I have opted to check into other measures on prepping this truck for a decent paintjob. We have an M813 and somebody said that soda blasting was a very good tool and that it would not do the harm that sandblasting would. Of course, the...

That sounds like some of my luck. Glad I'm not the only preson that shi% happens to. :o Chad :grd:

Sounds like I better leave it alone !! Thanks.. Chad

Was wondering if anyone had done a "turn-up" on their injector on the Cummins 250. Our truck runs about 53 empty and was wondering if it would be necessary to turn up the fuel in order to maintain that speed after we add 1,200 gallons of water in the bed. The truck runs about 2,100 to 2,200 rpm...
