    Just did the battery relocation. I need some grommets for the back of the box, so the edge doesn't wear through the cables. Took about 5 hours. Pulling the seat and bench tomorrow.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Today i turned down the idle on my injection pump. So, easy! Do this with the engine off. Remove the brass hex head bolt under the fuel line connection. Mine had a safety wire through it. Reach inside with a regular screwdriver and screw in or out. I turned mine a couple of turns...

    Conditioning/Flushing the cooling system..

    M939 Front Axle Boot replacement.....how I did it.....

    M936 Battery relocation

    Sometimes my M923 starts right up, sometimes it don't. I plug it in to a 24v jumper and it fires. I guess one or more of the original batteries are toast. I think I'm gonna do the two batteries in the side box trick. Have the batteries. Also have several adjustable hummer buckets and a 12v...

    Will all diesel trucks run on Alt fuel and which alts

    I have been making and mixing fuels for many years. Run it in a variety of truck types. See the pics of my latest generation refinery. Your truck will burn anything that makes a BTU. However, some caution should be taken. WVO should be cleaned and free of animal fats. My final filter is 5...

    I'll buy MV tags as long as I'm only restricted from commercial use. Please keep us in NC informed!

    NC Members-House to consider MV plate

    Certainly it wouldn't cost more than a weighted tag. Just paid over $400.00 for my 5 ton.

    Great Idea! I need a taller boarding ladder too! I will make it out of aluminum. My spool gun works, OK. (Miller) I just bought two push pull machines just for aluminum!

    New truck and a stuck brake! M923

    M923 Upgrade to the Single tires?

    Right, I will be patient and wait for the socket. Then use my Big Daddy Impact! It sucks seeing the new singles lined up ready to go. Got the fronts on. The truck has a California stance, high in the front. I'm just overly excited to have such a nice roadtrip worth MV!
