    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I've got another O-ring that needs replaced on a wheel, apparently. Have a slow leak. I've been starting the truck every weekend to keep batteries topped off, CTIS would keep the tire up as well. Today the CTIS would not come on. I noticed the air pressure would just hit 120 PSI, then...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    My truck leaked from those hoses when I got it. Had 1 broken clamp and the others were loose. Kind of a pain being able to see them, more or less repaired by feel on those.

    Got the new 21Si alternator installed.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Thanks for pics, on my list to do. Does the one on the door interfere at all getting in and out of the truck? I'm concerned I might continually smash my elbow on the lower bracket climbing out.

    I think that is the coolest bobber I've seen yet!

    Replaced another O-Ring in a wheel due to a slow leak, or I should say, "had it replaced". Best $60 value there is. I didn't even sprain anything or smash any body parts handing them the debit card.:D

    Fixed the passenger door latch. Exact problem that is in the sticky. Fishing the mechanism out of the door and putting it back in was the toughest part.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Yeah, I've got a little Kubota B tractor with a loader, but it's not tall enough to use with the big trucks to load or off-load anything. I hate paying the delivery fee for crush run, but it's alot less hassle that way.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I called and talked to them today. Verified that the "Non-Slip Matting" is what I wanted. I can return the other and they are sending the new stuff out. Very good customer service FYI. My first order arrived overnight with standard ground shipping. This stuff, but in black.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Didn't get the parking break cable yet. I just used WD-40. Disconnected the ends and held it up so it could run down inside the cover. Inside the cab I pulled the levers out and sprayed them while working the lever in and out. I'm sure there are better things to use, and better ways to do...

    That's a heck of a good deal! If I would have known about them, I would have had them do all 6 before I brought her home from Ogden!

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Negative. I've provided them. I don't think they would charge me for them though. They quoted that as their standard, "large loader tire service". Also wouldn't charge any more for me having them remove the wheel from the truck vs. me bringing them just the wheel/tire. I'll pull the CTIS...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Someone else here posted about them. They are rubber matts that have "air channels" under them. Put them in the toolboxes to keep things from sliding around all over, and they let air under them to prevent rust. http://www.duragrid.com/index.html I think I ordered the wrong ones, though. I...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Found another leaking wheel O-Ring. This is number 3. I'm not fighting this one, straight to the tire shop. Picked up a 1 ton chain hoist at Harbor Freight (my truck came with zero tools from GovPlanet). Ordered the dry-deck mats for the tool boxes. Bought a 5 lb fire extinguisher to go in...

    I removed and reinstalled the engine stop solenoid. Mine was mounted upside down (wires coming out the bottom). The throttle linkage was rubbing on the wires and was starting to wear through. Glad I caught it. Looks like a brand new solenoid.

    Wow, great work tracking those issues down! That has to be an obscure thing to have a check valve in backwards! I can see how that would get overlooked for a while.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Got her titled and registered! Fixed a leaking CTIS connection on a rear tire. The big connector on the pipe coming from the hub had almost slid completely off. Noticed I lost a front wheel weight and ordered a new one. Replaced front pinion seal.

    Those are some great looking chains. Bet they weigh a ton! I can only imagine the chore to install them. Wouldn't want to try that in the snow along the side of the road!
