    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Got my CTIS back to working again. It had a bad control solenoid. It worked last year when I parked it but didn't work since the first time I fired it up in February's warm spell. It was flashing all five lights as soon as it ran it's pressure test and would blow air out of the threaded hole in...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Swamp, would you please explain this filter "washing" process. Do you just spray it with water from the inside out? I just rattled loose the dust myself and the filter flow meter reads in the middle. Would like full flow, or at least closer.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I drove mine for the first time on the interstate (I-70) for any distance more than one or two exits. (I had always taken back roads, even to Findlay twice.) It was right at 200 miles round trip. She purred along at 55 pulling an M1082 trailer, loaded with 1500 lbs. on the return trip. I realize...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    New cartridge installed today. The old one had some oily residue on it and a lot of water droplets but no sign of where the desiccant escaped. The cartridge was very heavy compared to the new one so I figure it was fully absorbed in water. I guess I will just keep the ones I had for sale if I...

    M1061 trailer. Them landing legs are a bit sloppy and have some lean on them. They also may not have the pins fully in the slots. They have them on GP now and then so you can get an idea of auction value before deciding what to pay for the junkyard one.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    The antifreeze was added after the dryer with the old stock dryer still installed. I put around 8 hours on it before putting the new dryer on as I wanted to work out the bugs before putting the new one on. I didn't get a chance to change that cartridge yet. I an hoping to today. I have to drop...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I considered that, being the desiccant cartridges I have were in MRAP annual maintenance kits. I guess I just assumed all the more I drive it, I could squeeze a good bit more time out of it than that. But we all know what happens when we ASSUME! Thanks, Chris.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Well, back when I first got this truck I did run some air system antifreeze/cleaner through it, but none since. The dryer is only two years old. I will put a new cartridge in it today then. I have a few lying around since I had several I was selling. Hopefully the cartridge currently in it has...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Took the purge valve apart yesterday. It appears as if I have a failing desiccant cartridge; or is this normal? I cleaned it all up and put a light coat of grease on the o-rings and started the truck before reassembly to let the air clean the hole up in the well for the purge valve...

    Do you mean the desiccant? Does it filter the air too?

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I was considering to do that with the unloader, but with kroil. Mine is actually at 122#. I had a long battle with air issues when I first got this truck. I'm by no means complaining.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Will do. Thanks. Had you not mentioned it being in there that snug, I may have still been puzzled, thinking I still missed something. And thanks for the photo.

    Where is the filter?

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Ok. Thanks Swamp. I did take the cover off but will do so again with my readers on and look closer for that snap ring. So the whole round black thing drops out and then I should be able to see how it seals when closed? I just picture dirt and rust in there since this truck sat a few years as the...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    It is the 5-ton. Thanks, I keep forgetting the 800 series data plates did say 10 tons on highway and the suspension hasn't changed on to the M939 series.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Took my truck for a small load (5 tons) of limestone for the driveway into a property I have. Stopped on the way at Pilot to get fuel before it hits $4/gal. and my air pressure was holding at 90 psi. The secondary held at 90 but the primary dropped to 80 when I hit the brakes to ease out on...

    It works to break free corroded fastners. It "creeps".
