I just got back from making a scrap run to Bryan. I passed a NG 5 ton, 5 ton wrecker and HUMVEE on the side of the road. They had a flat front drivers side rear super single on the 5 ton. The wrecker was turned around and ready to pick up the rear of the other truck. 3 guys were hanging from a cheater bar when I passed them. The were trying to turn it counter clockwise.
45 minutes later and I was heading home. They were still there. All they guys were under a nearby shade tree drinking water. The blown tire was still on the truck. I felt like stopping to offer advice. However, I figured they knew what they were doing and wouldn't appreciate my help.
Do modern 5 tons have left handed threads on the drivers side? I don't know 5 ton numbers. These were the ones with the longer hood and wider front end. Not the old M35 size cab, but bigger.
