    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Titled, insured and tagged it. Replaced the air compressor, and ran over my car in it.

    Anyone changed the fuel pump filter on NHC250?

    Cummins quickserve online will probably be your best bet. I used them to get the gaskets for the air compressor when I changed it. Type your engine serial number in and it will tell you the parts you need.

    Hello from Columbus, OH!

    To be honest with you I would not rely on one to be my only form of transportation. These vehicles are old and to have one that is that reliable you need to do a lot of work to it first. There are things that will break and there are things you will want to do and upgrade. If it was me I...

    M923 Thermostat diagnostic

    Yes it is water cooled. I took nf6x's advise and repressurized the air tanks with my air compressor and it started doing it again. It is losing air from the secondary tank and is bleeding into the cooling system. I guess I am going to have to rebuild the top of the compressor where the water...

    M923 Thermostat diagnostic

    Okay, Its been a little over an hour and the temp has cooled on the engine. About every 60 seconds or so there will be about a 5 second run of bubbles coming up into the reservoir. This is pretty steady. I drained both the air tanks, completely depressurized them from the drains. The...

    M923 Thermostat diagnostic

    The question remains can the air compressor somehow leak into the air compressor coolant lines? This would explain why I am still getting bubbles after the temperature has cooled and there is still pressure left in the air tanks.

    M923 Thermostat diagnostic

    The coolant is not boiling when it comes out of the overflow, It is a steady liquid. There is no vapor coming from it until it hits the outside of the exhaust manifold that is underneath the overflow tube. The Napa near me has the tester in stock so I am going to pick it up today, I just...

    M923 Thermostat diagnostic

    OK, new idea. I was just reading through the TM under the -1, 3-55 it states there is an Air compressor supply and return tubes. As the truck sits there is a definate air leak in the system somewhere that I have not been able to find. Is it possible that the air compressor is somehow...

    M923 Thermostat diagnostic

    I waited 2 hour, let it cool down. Checked the fluid level and it is still just under the fill tube. Started it back up. It got back up to about 165 degrees and the same thing happened again. I hope it is not a blown head gasket. Even while it was cool when I took off the cap to the...

    M923 Thermostat diagnostic

    I was driving my M923 around the yard cutting and loading some branches in the back and noticed there was a little steam coming out from under the hood. I immediately checked the temp guage which seems to be working fine and it was only at 160 degrees. I shut it down and popped the hood to find...

    My first GL win

    It is the reason I bought the house!!!, unfortunately I do not have the money to concrete it yet. It is 80' x 100'. I have only owned it for about a month.

    My first GL win

    It is in excellent condition. The only things I can find wrong so far are... Missing the assembly to roll passenger side window up. They bent the step and the fuel tank slightly as it looks like they picked it up with a forklift. ABS not working (don't ask how I know that) I want to get the...

    My first GL win

    I finally won my first GL auction and I am now a proud owner of a M923. I brought it home yesterday and put it straight to work. It looks good sitting in my man cave.
