I upgraded the headlights to LED, the trailer lights are all LED minus the tail lights, the truck tail lights are stock, and my gauge lights are all LED. I removed the fuel shut-off solenoid. I run 2 group 31 batteries and they seem to stay topped up all the time even after sitting for over a...

How many amps in an alternator is actually required? I swapped to a 21SI clone that is 70 amp and it seems to be doing just fine after 3 years. Always keeps the batteries up and runs all the lights on the truck and M322 trailer with no issue. I have installed a 2000W 24V pure sine inverter...

Good pics and NICE TRACTOR!!! I have a Case 115 C. What engine is going back into the truck?

Side question, when do the brake drums need to be replaced?

I just towed an M322 trailer with a 14K tractor on it from Indianapolis to just north of Philadelphia to Cleveland and back to Indianapolis. Needless to say I went through the mountains. There were a LOT of hills that pulled me to the bottom of 2nd gear and 3 that pulled me down to first. 11...

Probably stupid questions. When my M925A2 is at temperature, I see blowby coming out of the blowby tube. It is a light grey color. It is not puffing like a steam engine but it is puffing more than I would like to see. I can put my thumb on the tube and hold it and it does pressurize and when...

I tried the search button, but it seems less than helpful lately. I disconnected my M322 trailer when I had a massive bulge in my tire to have the spare put on. When I went to go put the trailer back on and prior to hooking to the trailer my parking brakes will not release at all. I have to...

I have a complete fully rebuilt fan clutch from Seco Parts and the new style shutterstat.....fan will not kick on at temp. Haven't noticed it until now. The truck gets up to 205 degrees in stop and go traffic....no fan kicking on.......Which should I check first?

I only put 7K-10K on it a year......what would you recommend? FS1251 or FS1000? I do have the big canister filter pf316 in place before it.

Stupid question but will the Fleetguard FS1000 fit instead of the FS1251? It is larger and filters down to 10 microns vs 20.

I admit I do not on these but I had a Chevy 2500 with a Line-X bedliner in it and it was AWESOME!. I will be looking into that option soon.

I had the exact same problem and Simp had me swap the valve under the driver's side steps. This completely fixed my problem. He has a video on how to check it on Youtube. It was invaluable! I ordered a good used take off valve from Boyce Equipment. My rear brakes were also grabbing even...

This is a common problem with military alternators. I have had 2 failures with the exact same problem. I will not run military alternators anymore. That is the absolute first thing that I replace on any truck. I went with an AC Delco 21SI clone at 24 volts/70 amps. It was about $110 at Auto...

Put an 8.3 in!!! I like my 8.3.......

Gooden tight!
