    5 ton camper build

    Hairtrigger, nice job, I hope you continue the pictures as you go. Did you buy the 5 ton just to fit the camper or the camper to fit the 5 ton. The camper should fit a 2 1/2 ton bed, shouldn't it. I ask because that's what I have and was thinking along your lines.

    MEP003 siezed up

    Derf, if you look at it, it's just the end of bolts with the nuts. they could be studs, I'm not sure. The plate holes have to be large enough to fit over the nuts, so you're putting pressure on all three studs. Hope that helps.

    MEP003 siezed up

    Before you start selling parts, I would do the Marvel oil trick in the injector hole and let it sit for a day or two. Your's could be really locked up, but most you hear about are just hung up from sitting. I removed the injector line and found a oil bottle with a small tube on it and squirted...

    MEP003 siezed up

    That's why I made a plate that bolts up to the three not six bolts around that 5/8 bolt. you have to drill a hole in the plate to go over the bolt head , then weld a huge nut to the middle of the plate. That way you can put alittle more snot on it without snapping. Make the three holes big...

    MEP003 siezed up

    Forgot, I have two tan ones and read that same thing. They didn't look bad at all, until I took off the control panel. Had 1/8th inch of sand over everything!

    MEP003 siezed up

    Squirt some Marvel Mystery Oil into each injector, so it gets to the cylinders. Wait a day, then on the front of the blower cage, there is a 5/8ths nut, use a breaker bar and try to turn it slow and easy back and forth. I made a steel plate that bolts to the six smaller bolts around it and...

    Newbie Fixing a M101A3 Need Help

    I believe it was a @ 65 cj5 jeep master cylinder. I would rather have the brakes working than no brakes. For a full size truck towing that extra 30 pounds is squat.

    Surge brake lockout safety tip!

    I like that idea also, Rosco

    Newbie Fixing a M101A3 Need Help

    The surge brake is a common brake, so parts can be found at any good trailer supply place or E-Bay. Use the TM's, they have alot of good information in them. Tractor Supply has the correct pin also.
