Maintenance is easy on most of them, except the 936. There’s always a special section in the TM for the 936 cause there are extra steps on account of the wrecker body being in the way.

I was pleased to see you with hearing protection when you removed the nuts from the split rim. Later, with angle grinder and air tool not so much. Always hearing protection. Foam ear plugs, covers, maybe both. You're a young man and it only takes a moment. I'm 60 and I hear everything. A lifetime of being mindful.

Great video guys. Chris, you and Jen seem like sweet, caring, kind and genuinely nice people. The world needs folks like you! My Dad was in the Canadian Army for 36 years - they called 5 tons HLVWs (Heavy Logistical Vehicle, Wheeled) and deuce-and-a-halfs MLVWs (Medium Logistical Vehicle, Wheeled). I worked as a civilian at a Cadet camp in my 20s and they called deuce-and-a-halfs MBFATs (Medium Big F*cking Army Trucks). I rode in a few as a kid - Dad was a vehicle tech in the earlier part of his career and has no doubt wrenched on plenty and driven more! Mom and Dad are still alive and well - Dad is 81. Keep up the great work!

@philipalton5690 9 месяцев назад

Coming from someone who has been around trucks and heavy equipment for over 60 years, this truck would not pass a DOT check and should not be driven on any public roads. I have converted dozens of Deuces and 5 tons from 6x6 to 4x4 and the rear springs on this probably came from a 1 ton military trailer. They are not strong enough or safe to be used on this rig. AXLE TWIST WILL occur. JUST MY TWO CENTS. I also spent 4 years in the Marine Corps in Motor Transport and I know these trucks and others well. Semper Fi. 1967-1971.

Water is heavier than diesel and sinks to the bottom. Also some fuel filters have a water block element on them that rejects water molecules from passing through but will allow diesel

@ss939ww 2 года назад

Great video! I’ve been working on mine for about three years maybe four and it is an awesome 925A1 with a winch. Hope to see more content! Highly recommend pure silicone grease on the O-ring and I even use it on the beads and valve stem grommet when I’m rebuilding the wheels. I’ve done about four so far and they don’t lose air. I believe the silicone keeps the water off the surfaces. When I took them apart I had to clean RTV off of them and they were rusty in the O-ring grooves. I particularly liked your fuel system cleaning efforts and need to check mine. There is a spin on filter kit that’s a nice upgrade and is on my list.

@NoNonsenseKnowHow 2 года назад

Thanks man. And sweet that sounds like a nice rig! Unfortunately I ended up selling this one just because I don't have a ton of space. But hope to pick something else up in the future similar. And yeah a good call on using pure silicone grease.

Enjoyed the video, I liked the trick with the lumber to lift the tire off the ground when it is laying horizontally. Read instructions ? ,Yea right, been there done that to. I replaced my fuel filter with a 2 filter screw on system. Keep your fuel tank full as much as possible to prevent rust. Those primer pumps under the hood are junk. I have a 1985 M923A1.

Howdy Nononsence folk on You Tube! This is a beast of a tire change video! I was impressed with your use of leverage with the tires and the lug nuts. I paused the video at around the 6:30 mark because I wanted to address your securing the lug nuts on the replacement tire. I have found when securing the lug nuts, don't chase them do a star pattern. It might secure that big boy wheel a bit more secure.

Always wanted to own something like this... cool. Just have to say that this is no longer a 5ton truck since it has had an axle removed reducing its payload capacity by a significant margin (close to half). More videos on this would be great

@theof303 2 года назад

@@tihspidtherekciltilc5469 you are correct about the dodge part. But he is right when you bob a 5 ton or a deuce they look different and drive different. In addition the 5 ton part refers to off-road load capacity, so when u drop a axle and cut a frame your load capacity drops, so he is right it’s no longer a 5 ton.

Hey Chris, love your channel, all great stuff and I still learn things, though I’ve been around all types of machinery for around 40 years. I know this is an older post, but, If I can offer a small tip, when you’re pouring from a 20 litre (5 gallon) drum, start with the opening at the top, and slowly rotate as it empties,will be less likely to spill any fuel,or whatever you’re pouring.

Just a tip, on soft or wet ground take some air out of the tires it will give you more traction and a softer ride. You have onboard air now so when you hit the pavement air them back up.

@NoNonsenseKnowHow 2 года назад

Figure it out Yeah, totally agree with that. Thing about it is it's very time consuming releasing the air and adding air with these tires so that's the only reason I didn't. If I was going to do some real serious off-roading then I certainly would. I actually have a hose specifically made for this you can air all four down and up at the same time

FYI a full fuel tank is leaving a air gap. Diesel will expand on a hot day it’s cold coming out of the ground then expanding as it warms up! I would leave the fuel about 4” below the cap. Try to always park with a good amount of fuel (full) to help with condensation. Thumbs up 👍
