    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Painted the second coat on the drivers side fender today. Took the truck for a spin after the paint dried, and then got my shirt caught on the door handle when I was jumping out, and tore a hole in my shirt :(

    To change, or not to change? That is the question (fluids/filters)

    So maybe you can tell me how the $144 Haldex air dryer kit(DQ6026) that is sold at Napa, differs from the Haldex air dryer kit(DQ6026) I purchased online for $128 shipped. Maybe I just like saving money. I can put that $15 saved towards the Fram oil filter(PH3757) I bought at another local...

    Painted Truck today

    The Marquee paint actually is resistant to dirt sticking to it as well(one of Behr's selling points).

    They are cheaper on Amazon.

    Slowly getting more paint done on the truck. Still have to do another coat on the fender(only 1 coat in the picture, black is showing through). Using the Behr Marquee. Been using a roller and a brush. It's coming out great. I'm going to borrow an electric sprayer from my brother to do...

    All m939a2 filters that you will need

    I went over this morning and asked. Guy said he's never heard of any such sale("farm day sales"), and there was nothing in his computer about it either. I'll be buying the filters elsewhere, NAPA isn't cheap for the filters by any means.

    transmission question

    My truck does this too. I recently had 6000lbs of mulch in the bed, and the 2-1 downshift/jerk wasn't any smoother then when the truck is unloaded.

    All m939a2 filters that you will need

    I bought an oil filter for my car today at Napa....I didn't get any percent off at all. No advertisement of any sale here either. Maybe it's not every Napa?

    Painted a bunch today. Finished the second coat around the passenger side window and the window frame. Put two coats on the passenger side dash area. Reinstalled the data plates once that was dry. Put on the 2nd and 3rd coats on the roof. Sanded down the grill and area around the...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I drove mine to Home Depot to pick up some mulch that was on sale. Our local MUA sells mulch at the same price, but we have to shovel it out of my dads truck into wheel barrels, it's crappy mulch, and we have to take 4 trips. We got an entire pallet load that is the equivalent of 6 truck loads...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Pulled the drivers side windshield out. Scraped, wire wheeled, sanded and painted(2 coats so far) the area completely around the windshield. I also painted around the windshield frame. Going to reinstall the windshield tomorrow morning. Might do the same process to the passenger side...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Sanded the front bumper down, and painted it. Now if only the rest of the truck looked as good as the bumper. I'm painting the truck piece by piece. I think the hood and front fenders are next. I'm not too sure how to go about painting the grill mesh. I'm not spraying the truck, I'm...

    Picked up my 1985 M923 today

    I'm from way down in Cape May County. Don't see any MV's around unless it's the NG, or the county's trucks they got after Sandy. Where in NJ are you guys?

    Paint Information (Codes and Sources)

    My dad works at Home Depot, occasionally in paint. He said that the mixture numbers for the Marquee paint are different from those for the Premium Plus Ultra. Sure enough, they are. For the 383 green: Behr Premium Plus Ultra: And Behr Marquee: The FSS code is how we made both of...

    Plode's M923A2

    Is there a thread on rebuilding them? I'm pretty good at working on electronics.

    Plode's M923A2

    Oh great, so I tightened them down to 1100ft/lbs :lol:. I'm wondering if there is a bad contact in the starter switch. When I clicked on the battery switch I heard the audible click from the solenoid in the black box. Just when I threw the ignition switch nothing turned on. Not even the...

    Plode's M923A2

    Ran into some trouble today. Took the truck out to my friends house to do the wheel o-ring. Ran beautiful on the way out there(other then the obscenely bumpy road). He opened the garage up for me and let me do my thing, he had to go meet his accountant(taxes). So I get it jacked up, pull...

    m923a2 with straight pipe

    Awful pricy for a piece of pipe with 3 bends, a flange welded on, and a clamp.

    Plode's M923A2

    I used a stock photo I found online, that's not my truck. The undercarriage of my truck is green, but under some of the places where it is chipping away, it is tan underneath.

    Plode's M923A2

    In the past few days I've got quite a bit done on the truck. I got the license plate bracket with light mounted and wired, the front plate bolted up(drilling through the front bumper took about 12 years :lol:). I got the turn signals working(was a bad ground at the flasher), and had to fix the...
