The engine has an air compressor built into it, either attached to the side, gear driven. Or mounted to the front, belt driven. Air tanks have a governor that will shut off the compressor between 120-140 psi. The big things going to the drums are call brake chambers. Also there should be small cords coming off of the tanks, to drain any water build up, make sure you pull those every few weeks, especially after it rains, to make sure there's no water in your air system. :) All the truck drivers who watch your channel can probably tell you anything about that brake system you want to know!
Also those tanks are most likely a primary, secondary, and accessory. With the compressor filling them in that same order. Your guage most likely is hooked up to your primary, so though it shows full the horn doesn't start blaring until the accessory tank fills.
The switch for the horn is at the bottom of the steering column by your feet. On my 1985 5 ton. The military Disconnects all horns on their vehicles., They don't want them used. The guy you bought this from missed a lot of needed service. I would recommend doing a complete PM Filters/oil and grease on it asap. It has around 24 grease fittings.. Good luck from Cypress.Tx
Agreed, would expect the guy who prepared the vehicle to have serviced the truck and fixed anything broken. Not sure this is great advertisement for the builder...
The odds of it truly being a fishing lure are slim. There's pretty much always screens on the pickup tubes in fuel tanks, meaning it never would have picked it up out of the tank. Its more than likely diesel bug from sitting long periods and not draining the water out of the tanks/water seperator.
I second that, man, good call!!! Abel, and the hummer, maybe Caine, might be too biblical! I don't think Matt has named the hummer, but in a few more days it will be gone to Georgia, dont think the hummer is coming back!
Hey Matt, on the rear axle, one of your u bolts has a nut backed off, it was around 2:12 in the video, someone probably has already told you but I'd hate to see you have an accodent because of an axle nut.
Was gonna say... Look at them man tits jiggle... To a tone deaf version of a classic cake song. Great intro... If my man tits were jiggling to a cake song it would be taken off youtube for pornography... And not in a good way.
Matt: You can reattach and seal that (horn) air line with a smidgen of Flex Paste... You can also fabricate a Flex Paste Funnel Stopper to replace your T-shirt Stopper... (Use Black) Stopper Fabrication: 1) Clean all dust from inside of funnel... 2) Cut a piece of 3/16" thick cardboard (round) to cover ENTIRE flapper valve... 3) Spray or wipe a thin layer of any lubricant on the inside wall of the funnel... ( Pam spray / Crisco / Etc ) 4) Make sure cardboard is covering the Entire flapper valve and pack the funnel 1/2 full of Flex Paste... Pack down to remove air bubbles and smooth out exposed top surface... Immediately screw an eye bolt into center of Flex Paste... (Eye bolt: Large Diam w/short anchor shaft that will not protrude past the bottom of the Flex Paste) 5) Let it cure per instructions... Remove Flex Paste Cork and clean funnel wall... Do not remove or discard round cardboard covering until funnel is clean (Vaccum if necessary)... SHAZAM, you have a Professional Custom Cork with an eye blot finger pull...
I was issued one in the Army I named "Speck" because it was so small... Fully loaded bed and with it's towed load we weighed 72,000 pounds. Yeah, that was a little over loaded but DOT don't stop Army convoys ;)
This thing needs to go to your diesel buddy's shop and get a post purchase inspection. That truck has some problems that were given to it by the builder. U bolts should NEVER back off!
Dude, you gotta put a secondary "meep meep" horn from some random compact car into the 5 ton, just for comedic effect. Lil push button action on the dash.

Loved the song and glad to see y’all enjoying your pool and relaxing as a family!!! I hope that 5 ton doesn’t come to haunt ya with a crap Ton of problems. Glad to see you all getting together with some also.
Awesome video that horn is no joke!! It reminds me when one of my patrol units. Whenever you would make a right turn lights and sirens would go off. No one knew why? It was so much fun driving around the city. Stay safe and best of luck with your new toy!!
It’s Matt that’s gonna realize that this trade probably wasn’t in his favor. The guy who’s getting the humvee got days of advertising and a humvee in exchange for a vehicle that more and more seems to be defective (the air conditioner not being strong enough, the air horn working when it wants to, that fishing lure looking stuff that was clogging a pipe, the t-shirt keeping the engine heat situation and even in the comments of this video people are noticing more things wrong or missing. If that company gets even just one or two sales for this trade the guy from Georgia has still come out on top. Matt on the other hand is gonna have a hard time finding people knowledgeable but not stupid expensive, parts for this thing or someone interested in just taking this 5 ton beast off his hands.
It's still a pretty good truck. That "fishing lure" might have been silicone that got sucked up, and the horn has issues... They just made an 1,100 mile trip without any major issues. I call that a win for an old 5 ton. They never had AC to begin with, they aren't sealed like modern cars, you could throw an RV AC unit on the roof and it would still have to run constantly to make an improvement. Georgia dude got a fair shake. Matt got a fair shake. It's all part of the experience of owning a FMV. (I've owned a few... Never a 5 ton, but deuces, pickups, etc.).
I mean it is a 30 year old military truck that sat in a field outside a georgia shop for god knows how long. That humvee will rust away before the cummins engine in the 5 ton dies.
"He's going the distance, he's going for speed" love that song. Love you, the truck & the new paint job. Great to see how successful you've become since doing vet ranch videos. Although I do miss seeing you do them.
This channel has motivated me so much to learn different stuff. Demolitionranch got me into guns, offtheranch got me interested in building and all kinds of weird machines hahaha. I even got interested in goddamn Forklifts.
I don't think you understand Matt: The 5 Ton is already named Abel. It was named already by the community and no other name options are eligible at all anymore.
9:54 the electromagnet of the solenoid is broken off and the return spring fell out so the valve is always open. Normally it would be held closed by a spring and then opened whenever the solenoid is powered. It's right over the heater core box, possible the engine heat + outside temp was hot enough to weaken the epoxy and it fell off.
1:57 thats a air dryer, it does exactly what you would expect. Sole job is to keep your air system from rusting from the inside out. The top portion contains the media that is supposed to be replaced yearly. Gear driven air compressor on the front of the engine is the "how" of the air system. The brakes have spring in them that take air to release, safety function so the truck doesn't roll away when the air bleeds out. Btw the air system can only loose 3psi in a minute with the brake pedal pressed to be legal, so you do need to keep that air system sealed up decently.
Seems only fair after that kind young man went through all the trouble he did to turn around and help a stranger. Not too many people like him left in the world today. Shout out to Abel for being a caring dude. Also to his parents for raising him right.
The air brake cans should be drained at least weekly. Even daily if driven for extended trips. The 'odd component' is the air dryer, which should evacuate occasionally ( audible POOSH sound) and is controlled by a regulator (component under the hood possibly attached to the air compressor, also under the hood on the side of the engine). Lube the cable attached to the heat bypass valve that was cooking y'all. Sheesh! Hope it helps...
@@bigbearrunfast Couldn't agree more sir. Most truck maintenance personnel (mechanics) will demand the 'cans' be drained and left open whenever parked. If y'all have ever had brake lines/drums freeze it doesn't take long to get reminded why. Giddy up.
@@notamythroop Most drivers are going to be back in the vehicle the next morning. Closing the drain valves immediately after air is evacuated may not allow all condensation to drip or dry. Mud wasps overnight? Hmm... perhaps y'all need wasp traps.
1. it's a solenoid, you could literally zip tie the thing on and it would work. 2. Call it "the general" and try to get a sponsor from that insurance company... Just say'n
Anything 30 years old will throw shade on a happy experience. Time going thru all the subsystems and getting 30 years of sitting around waiting ironed out will bring a happier time. Machines are built to use. You will get there.
Matt, those air tanks you pointed out need to be drained every few days to remove the water that builds up. There are drain cocks in a row right there. If you have not done it yet, you'll see a bunch of water come out. I'm surprised Matt did not explain that to you.
They're military trucks, they're high maintenance and have problems. You can't own a five ton or a duece and not have a tool box and some mechanical inclination. If you do, you're in for a bad time.
Big boy toys have issues, regardless of who builds them. I’m certain Matt has not completed any PMCS on that 5ton. I’ll send him my TM 9-2320-366-10-1 & 2
the fuel break down was from a fishing lure, which could have been someone stuck it into the diesel pump nozzle and matt just happened to be the next person to pump it. (Some gas stations have pumps with 2 nozzles, one gas and one diesel) Clearly they tried to preserve as much of the old trucks used as possible so the air horn issue isn't really that bad. Even demo-Matt isn't to upset about it, old truck, old parts. Horn is annoying to have happen but not hard to deal with.
If you give it gas at idle while waiting for the air to fill, it speeds up the air pressure buildup. 🤙🏽 The 5 ton is awesome man, definitely a fun project. Lol unless it wasn’t meant to be one.
Hard to know when things like a solenoid goes bad, fellas.. and that wasn't a fishing lure either, it was some sort of RTV silicone that'd been used to repair something in the fuel system at some point that got unstuck.. not a good repair of course but I dont think think that company is to blame about that bit either.. its a 30 year old military vehicle, it'll have its fair share of weird field repairs. So go easy on them ;-)
I'm, kinda surprised he didn't check the footage of when he stuffed the tshirt into the Defroster. You can see that the little cylinder is on the airhorn

The air Dryer is the item by the tanks. Removes moisture.
don't know anything about it still upvoting so Matt sees your comment.
Also those tanks are most likely a primary, secondary, and accessory. With the compressor filling them in that same order. Your guage most likely is hooked up to your primary, so though it shows full the horn doesn't start blaring until the accessory tank fills.
The Cummins ISC/ISL air compressors are gear driven.
The air compressor is not built into the engine it is a replaceable part just like the air conditioning compressor
Still going with "Strong & Abel" for the 5ton. Paying tribute to the person who helped you. It is also a reminder to be kind to strangers.

Time going thru all the subsystems and getting 30 years of sitting around waiting ironed out will bring a happier time. Machines are built to use.
You will get there.
So glad to see cake still cranking in 2020!!!!
Lincoln and Lincoln head butting was the cutest lol
By the way, replace that wimpy born with a train horn. That'll have people on I-35 setting their pants all the way to Travis county.
Yes
Hornblasters to be exact 📯 🚂
im in Burnet County and i would probably hear it!
_Preeeeetty_ sure that's not legal. Not necessarily because of the noise, but because those horns are reserved for trains due to safety concerns.
Matt, those air tanks you pointed out need to be drained every few days to remove the water that builds up. There are drain cocks in a row right there. If you have not done it yet, you'll see a bunch of water come out. I'm surprised Matt did not explain that to you.
You shouldn’t have to do that because most trucks have a air dryer to pull the water out automatically
Love Granger Smith and his family. Awesome❣
Man, this whole series of events really hasn't done much for the image of Custom Combat Trucks...
They're military trucks, they're high maintenance and have problems. You can't own a five ton or a duece and not have a tool box and some mechanical inclination. If you do, you're in for a bad time.
Big boy toys have issues, regardless of who builds them. I’m certain Matt has not completed any PMCS on that 5ton. I’ll send him my TM 9-2320-366-10-1 & 2
This truck is over 30 years old things are about to go bad with it. It isnt modern Oshkosh so no worries don’t get your feelings hurt 🤷♂️
Look at all the fun Matt's had with his Humvee since he first bought it...I have to agree that old military vehicles are maintenance-heavy.
For a completely custom and redone truck this thing has tons of issues. Not so sure if those Georgia guys have the best attention to detail.
Yea ,
Seems like a hack job
Already unsubscribed to their channel , that Matt has the personality of wet cardboard.
I was thinking that...
the fuel break down was from a fishing lure, which could have been someone stuck it into the diesel pump nozzle and matt just happened to be the next person to pump it. (Some gas stations have pumps with 2 nozzles, one gas and one diesel)
Clearly they tried to preserve as much of the old trucks used as possible so the air horn issue isn't really that bad. Even demo-Matt isn't to upset about it, old truck, old parts. Horn is annoying to have happen but not hard to deal with.
When he was talking about him and mere fighting😂😂
I'm glad Jackie and the kids are doing good.
Needs a “Horn broken, watch for finger!” sticker
Put one of those on my Mother's truck and she found out a month later. She was not a happy camper.
I used to give my chickens an oyster shell scratch. Toss it on the ground with a little grain. It will help thicken up those shells
Hey your u-bolt on the passenger back rear is super loose
If you give it gas at idle while waiting for the air to fill, it speeds up the air pressure buildup. 🤙🏽 The 5 ton is awesome man, definitely a fun project. Lol unless it wasn’t meant to be one.
HE'S GOING THE DISTANCE!
Hard to know when things like a solenoid goes bad, fellas.. and that wasn't a fishing lure either, it was some sort of RTV silicone that'd been used to repair something in the fuel system at some point that got unstuck.. not a good repair of course but I dont think think that company is to blame about that bit either.. its a 30 year old military vehicle, it'll have its fair share of weird field repairs. So go easy on them ;-)
Matt: Hopefully this works now
>Cut to horn blaring and Matt's disappointed expression.
So I guess that truck didn't come with a warranty, huh?
Probably did it just ran out about 25 years back 😂😂
StaticGamesLevi 😂😂😂
And no owner's manual...
The horn story is the funniest thing I've heard all day
The description of your "fight" with mere 😂😂
I'm, kinda surprised he didn't check the footage of when he stuffed the tshirt into the Defroster. You can see that the little cylinder is on the airhorn
Shirtless Matt gobbles up the views! You’ve earned it!
Truck name “Truck Noris”. It badass, probably bullet proof and can run over anything in its way. Or just call it “Chuck” lol
Nope, "Truck Norris" already taken by a guy in Vermonster
It is already named Able
No the name is Abel
My friend named his truck tucker the trucker
Imagine being able to hang out with Granger Smith basically whenever the heck you want. Now that's awesome
Whos granger Smith?
@@internetexpert8153 that big truck thats in the video
Y do people dislike this is quality content
I feel like it must be people on mobile accidentally hitting it. Only explanation.
lavagiant 3421 it’s automatic dislikes by the youtube system
Thanks Matt. Now I got CAKE going thru my mind for the next week!
Air dry Matt, the air dry pulls out the water out of the system.
That air thing underneath is an air dryer, it keeps moister and rust out of the system.
*Moisture
@@Only.B moister*
When I was driving my 5-ton home from the auction, that broke.
Everyone, Matt puts a lot of work into making good quality content for us, the least we could do is leave a like on the video.
Love that song!! 🍰 The Distance
As long as this band "Cake" as you call it has a horn section or similar, it has potential
I still think he should call the truck: Able
Also, is that t-shirt a permanent addition to the engine?
I'm not sure but I think it's Abel. Not sure I just edited my comment to Abel 😂
I agree, call the Truck Abel !!
Who’s Abel again?
@@turnsbyler4553 guy that helped them fix the 5 ton when it stopped running. Somehow had a fishing lure in the fuel line.
Nah name her Bertha
The intro was🔥🔥🔥🔥
Not heard that song for ages, might have to go find the album it's awesome.
