    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    As long as you can still move your fingers and tongue you can make most happy or piss them off.

    5 ton knuckle rubber boot w/zipper

    I got these at a rally. All the boot has is MFR6K104 now the first sticker does not have anything. What's funny is the sticker under the first sticker has MFR6k404. Now if people would write down there MFR # before install.

    Pretty sure my air packs shot.......

    Maybe when Rusty gets feeling better he can look at his repair manual. Then we can see the amount of oil his wants put in the piston chamber for servicing.

    Adjusting Load Sensing Valve on M1078

    Still reading myself. From what I see the load sensing goes to the relay valve. Now it would not seem that the load sensing could effect the spring brake system? Are you sure the front glad hand on the passenger side is open and not venting air back. If I remember something vents up to that glad...

    Adjusting Load Sensing Valve on M1078

    I don' know and am reading as much as I can. As long as bypassing or trying to get rid of it did not cause the wheels to lock up even with a light touch of the brake peddle when empty?

    Trouble starting Deuce

    Was this a small clunk click or a truck shaking clunk bang like you might have hydro locked. One mans clunk is another mans treasure.

    Adjusting Load Sensing Valve on M1078

    Don't know but seems like every time the passenger side glad hand is talked about when there is a problem to. The end hand has to have the vent and the one way check valve has to be working so as not to push air back into the braking system. Yea Will seems to be pretty hot on the FMTV stuff. You...

    Adjusting Load Sensing Valve on M1078

    There seems to be a correct way to set it up so if you have not read the whole TM. I scanned the first page to give you the TM number and what page it starts on. Maybe it's like the old brake system on a car that had the ball in the line at the master cylinder and you had to bleed the system one...

    Pretty sure my air packs shot.......

    Rustystud started to get a nice TM together on the air pack but I don't think it ever got updated with the rest of the pages. Maybe he could finish it off because it looked like a good one. Or maybe he could look and see what his book says for the lubercation if nothing else.

    Great it did. Wonder if someone better than me on the computer could put it all in one piece for downloading? Owell if it helps anyone than good.

    Pretty sure my air packs shot.......

    My military International Harvester book says to fill it till it runs out after install. That seems like a lot but it does say after install. I can't remember what our TM's say but it was not like that. Also says every six months but I bet that is when heavy use. Guess we could discuss the...

    Pretty sure my air packs shot.......

    I would just use regular air tool. As for the square plug in the canister I might go with a couple of ounce's and rotate it around up and down round and round then drain out when ever comes out. Then just service it on a regular bases using the amount the TM calls for. I have found two different...

    Pretty sure my air packs shot.......

    Just make sure you use some air tool oil on the incomming air line and the square canister plug before you use it. Can be done on the work bench. I might stand the air pack up when you do the square plug and twist the whole air pack around to get the oil all over the walls of the cylinder and to...
