    Rebuilt air pack why wont brakes release?

    What James means is the fluid doesn't return to the master cylinder like it should when that little hole is plugged. You should see a vigorous return, sometimes even squirting out the top of the fluid level.

    Couldn't get 5-ton started on the trailer.

    Did someone pull the engine shut off and not reset it under the hood?

    Anybody near Ft Riley Kansas ?

    I have plenty of room to park it in the field. You need someone to go get it or just a place for it to stay? I don't have any 395s or LMTV rims at the moment. Not sure where to get any closer than TX. I'll see if I can find one between AZ and KS and pick it up for you if things line up.

    Anybody near Ft Riley Kansas ?

    I'm in AZ at the moment. Offgrid with only intermittent coms. Had planned to be back in KS early April but not so sure now.

    Convert to spin on and call it done. I think floridianson had a spin on conversion for sale reasonably.

    Prepping a Gen trailer for the road home.

    I'd start a new thread as the primary focus of this one is shifting the gensets. There is no tire debate. I suspect I'm wrong. I was going from memory. Presumably Coug checked the markings on his wheels.

    Prepping a Gen trailer for the road home.

    The tire is rated for 50psi but the wheel assembly is not. The O-ring between the wheel halves won't be happy. I run them at 40psi, which is higher than recommended. I've never had a MT fail. I've ran many of them loaded at hwy speed for thousands of miles. What happens is even uninflated...

    New to 5 ton what is the model of this one

    I speculate that the order was changed to super singles before they had shipped the last of the trucks that didn't have the updated tire carrier etc. That's all it is - speculation. Re TM - these are part of the M939series of trucks and those will be the TMs you want.

    New to 5 ton what is the model of this one

    1984 and 1985 trucks had the 11.00's and the narrower spare carrier. 1986 began the A1 variation with 14.00s without CTIS, a wider spare carrier, bed a couple inches further back, different bumperettes, and a lower hitch. 1988 began the A2 variation with the 8.3 turbodiesel, CTIS, shackles...

    New to 5 ton what is the model of this one

    M925 with a tire swap. The spare carrier looks like the one for the 11.00R20.

    Prepping a Gen trailer for the road home.

    This trailer is rated for 3160lbs. TX law specifically states brakes not required on trailers that weigh less than 4500lbs. Not weight rating, but rather actual weight. TX is apparently NOT one of the states that adopted the federal requirements as their state's requirements as well. Federal...

    Prepping a Gen trailer for the road home.

    You're making too big of a deal out of this. Brakes should require no intervention. If they do, just disable them. Tires will probably need some air, but can be aired up at the first stop. That first stop should be no more than 20 miles. Bearings are almost certainly fine. Feel them up at...

    Dot 5.1 is different than dot 5 and is incompatible with dot 5.

    Help identifying wheels

    Looks like MRAP rims. They'll work on a deuce if you use adapter plates.
