    Greetings from Spring Hill KS

    I suspect it could haul a bunch. The TM says 5000 lb. Payload but we all know those are just guidelines. Load her til the tires rub, then take out half a cord.

    What does the "Sensor, Air Charged Crankcase Depression Valve" do?

    For what they cost it couldn't hot but I suspect you'll see the same on the new one. Didn't someone mention the possibility of rain or other water infiltration? That's always possible too. Just that this is where you noticed it ending up. Don't think anyone classified water as a Class III...

    What does the "Sensor, Air Charged Crankcase Depression Valve" do?

    1 - PLEASE change your font so that those of us with old eyes can read it. Thanks 2 - Most likely cause is condensation. Burned fuel gases contain water vapor. Some gets past the rings on each stroke. Your device there is (as stated above) the diesel version of a PCV SYSTEM. I am not...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Whatever choice you make, those boards will possibly outlast the truck. Looks great !

    Engine Swap for M715

    For a modernization and still having options, why not get a take-out Flexfuel GM LS series. Will run on anything from 100% gasoline to 85% ethanol - 15% gasoline. With a 4L65 or 4L80 behind it you have the most up to date combo out there. ( Hint - it'll run on 100% ethanol but the gasoline is...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    tobyS​, Agree with Another Ahab. Keep 'em natural. And, sorry if I sound like a father but I am one (and a firefighter), IF you use Linseed oil, DO NOT throw the rags ( or whatever you're applying it with ) in the corner with oil still on them. They WILL spontaneously combust. Can make for...

    front suspension mods AKA - ride improvement mods AKA - butt happiness mods

    Just please remember that anything you do to a vehicle driven on public roadways must meet FEDERAL D O T STANDARDS - ESPECIALLY on something that MIGHT get inspected by a friendly member of the Interstate Commerce Commission's ( Federal Commercial Vehicle ) agents or their designees ( State...

    Air wipers are not working

    Just kidding of course, but hey, if I have enough Tequila . . . It won't matter WHAT'S on the windshield. :whistle:

    front suspension mods AKA - ride improvement mods AKA - butt happiness mods

    Agree with yes to both. Suspension, lots of engineering and work but can DEFINITELY be done. Quicker solution (if you haven't already), drop your air pressure to as low as safe (check with chalk line across the tread). Even with bags it's still a B A T ( big ass truck ) and will NEVER ride...

    Does anyone know what this is?

    I love you doghead, sir! I just Sergeanted a thread about HMMWV transfer cases not unlocking. How do some people get through an entire day ?

    Transfer case will not unlock

    I have seen this same problem in at LEAST three other threads. Upper right corner of the page . . . search box. HHMWV transfer case, ENTER. Or just move the selector out of LOCK and back up ( hey !! just like it says to do in the Operator's Manual TM, AMAZING )

    Air wipers are not working

    Brother, I've been holding my breath for forty long years.rofl. Maybe that's why I'm like I am. Hear ya 5 by 5 about the oil in the exhaust but where I'm planning to go it doesn't rain all that much so I suspect I'll probably succumb to Tequila Sunrise before oil induced pulmonosis.

    Terminus M1009

    cucvrus, looks like she's coming along. I miss my '84 K-20 pick-up. Took that places I wouldn't (or couldn't) walk now.

    Terminus M1009

    Any foreign material on any braking surface will kill any material out there. It is MUCH easier to ensure that the involved surfaces are clean with discs but they are NOT self-cleaning. Hose 'em off or drive through clear standing water (if legal).
