    All 5-tons: Heavy Duty Torque Rod Ends

    Because I have a completely level surface at my disposal to do the job.

    All 5-tons: Heavy Duty Torque Rod Ends

    1 - Anti-seize 2 - M939-series TM calls for a "pre-load", but M809-series does not. Same identical suspension designed to handle the same load and handling. You be the judge. I did not preload the M818.

    All 5-tons: Heavy Duty Torque Rod Ends

    I took my truck out for a little street and freeway driving yesterday. You know, to celebrate Earth Day ;);) The ride characteristics appear to the same as with the standard ends. Really no change. Being a short wheel-based truck, it has always been a bouncer anyway. Luckily, in the past few...

    All 5-tons: Heavy Duty Torque Rod Ends

    Thanks for your input. I would like to see the failed one, if you wouldn't mind sharing. In your best estimate, how much actual weight was on the truck when it failed?

    His distributor is local to me. I actually talked with them and was going to strike a deal directly. However, Erik is a good guy and conducts a fair and honest business. So, I ended up a cutting deal with him. I like supporting the small business owner. Must be like butter!

    All 5-tons: Heavy Duty Torque Rod Ends

    From what I understand, they are designed as an upgrade for the OEM and are not from another application. These torque rods appear very specific and unique to this type of suspension. I have spoken to Erik personally. He has told me his water truck customers use them and are satisfied with...

    All 5-tons: Heavy Duty Torque Rod Ends

    My 14 year old was helping me and one popped pretty good. He told he was going to change his drawers :shock: :grin: I was a bit leery over the stock Harbor Freight arbor plates. I have heard explosive stories about those. I have replaced them with some nice upgrades. You need 12 total, eight...

    All 5-tons: Heavy Duty Torque Rod Ends

    There was nothing wrong with the originals. It was my OCD again :-D. And, my push to make my truck safer for the civilian road. I recently replaced all the torque rods ends, again, no my M818. I replaced them with the "high-speed" heavy duty torque rod ends that are available through Erik's...
