I have a 923A2, just realized the brain fart in the original title....

Bergstrom/Kysor A/C in a 923A2 ? Anyone tried to adapt the Bergstrom/Kysor A/C system to their 5 ton? James

Well Dave I was really hoping it was the Inversion valve....thanks for getting it shipped out so quickly....unfortunately that didn't fix the problem.....Looks like I'm going in.... James

The O rings, in fact everything looked beautiful. I couldn't not see any problems at all other than it did seem to need lube. The O rings are so cheap to replace I will definitely do that. As far as temperature goes, I could not get it up to 200 on the gauge driving around the neighborhood so I...

Thank you all! I got buried in work all of a sudden but as soon as I get the time I now know where to look! James

Well I had this problem with the air brakes during my recovery when I hit stop and go traffic. I took it for a drive yesterday and had no problems but then today when I took it for a spin, I got a 1/4 mile from the house and when I stopped at a stop sign, they didn't want to release. I gave it a...

Well unfortunately the clean n lube of the shutter stat did not work :-( I guess that I will be tracking down a new one.

Well the fan isn't engaging so I disconnected the air line going from the shutter stat to the fan clutch and hit it air from my compressor, she started spinning immediately....sweet. So I bled down the air system and proceeded to tear down the shutter stat. I didn't have a spanner wrench but...

yes it's pretty normal, I live about 15 miles outside of town and we are at 4,000 ft. We don't get a lot of snow but 4-6" is pretty common.

So I noticed that the engine (8.3 Cummins) or air pump, not sure which, gets really loud like out of adjustment lifters as the air pump reaches max pressure and the relief valve opens. Gets nice and quiet for a few minutes then starts to rattle again, maybe a minute before the pressure relief...

Nobody? I figured out they are Euro Tread but will the wheels fit the 5 Ton? Does anyone have any experience running the Euro Tread on a 5 Ton?

The quotes I got for a haul to Reno were in the $2,400 range so I decided that the risk was worth the reward. The truck had a full tank of fuel when I picked it up...major bonus! I ended up spending about $350 on fuel for both vehicles, $125 on motel rooms. Everything else I spent on oil, belts...

You can't even tell that the trailer is behind the truck and you can only see it in the mirrors when making a turn. As for the why, I plan on making a water wagon out of it. 300 gallons of water with a solar electric pump system.
