Got some event details?

Ken, I feel ya. These trucks aren’t just a truck. This hobby changed and probably saved my life. My current circumstances are entirely a result of these trucks. Thanks for sharing. There is nothing like these trucks.

Thanks for the info. Might need to find/bring some camping gear.

Interested....

How might one go about RSVP’ing? Any details on accommodations?

Still fighting the fuel system. New filter in order, gonna go from there, also pull the pickup tube in the tank.

Stainless?

Best darn trucks ever built. Wouldn’t trade the 5 tons for anything. Where’d you find her?

Got a spare tire today, was originally with the truck but didn’t get to go pick it up until now. Needs a valve stem and possibly a gasket. Was heavy but not too bad with three of us. It had sat in a cornfield for over a year, planted around by farmer, got it in a dump trailer and dropped and...

Good thoughts. I’m going to probably stay incandescent for now with the lights. (BTW, how do I activate the hazards/4 way flashers? Never been able to do that successfully). I’ll try the business card on my suspected exhaust leak. Do I try and fire her up with that in there and see if it stops...

Found I might have an exhaust leak, Although I don’t think it’s the manifold. Rather, I think it’s where it exits the turbo charger. At first, I thought it was steam, since I have started up the truck on a damn 40° weather day, but it definitely smells like diesel smoke in there under the hood...

Trying to actually maybe make this thing road legal and DOT-passable (as much as one of these will). Ran it in the Christmas parade, where a shakedown voyage on this gigantic beast without plates wouldn’t draw the wrong kind of attention. At least I found a good list of issues I have in...

I remember a night spent in the cab of an M925, 31 degree overnight low that killed my phone and circulation to my toes. It may be rough but you will remember this adventure for a lifetime!

These kind of adventures are what first made me want one of these trucks. Keep us posted!

Sounds like an adventure to remember for a lifetime, keep us posted! The 5 tons are dub trucks to drive, work on, etc. What are your plans for her?

Couple little things. Need bulbs for the dash lights. Also need to replace the ABS fuse. Wasn’t getting the double triple click at power-up. Was it common for these to blow because of a particular fault? Went to lift the dump bed the other day and nothing. Uh oh. Turns out I’m low on fluid...

Interesting. So far, I think I am most partial to the "A0".

Dead thread revival, I know, but I've been wondering the same things...

Everything just takes time.

Ouch! Holding off?
