Here's a pic of the fitting that was loose. It was loose where the 90 Deg. elbow screws onto the filter housing. This filter housing (and fitting) is located inside the front wheel arch on the driver's side on the RH (cab side) of the wheel arch. You can also see the air tube in this picture...

Guys I think I got this one beat. Found a loose fuel line coming from the big filter inside the driver's side front wheel well. It was the outside fitting (1 1/16" wrench size) and I could turn it easily by hand. It may have loosened on its own or it could have jarred loose when I bumped the...

I'll give that a go tomorrow along with bleeding through the bleeder on the pump. I have a camera like you're talking about. I usually park the truck downhill, but I needed to unload some landscaping blocks so I parked it uphill. I feel sure that either bumping the tank or parking the truck...

I was concerned that I could have knocked something loose internally in the tank. Which line is the pickup tube (relative to the fuel level sender). Also, im assuming that I'll need to reseal after I've removed this line to check?

Guys, Fired my 923a2 up today, cranked perfect, ran fine (I pull the man throttle open to 1000 rpm for warm up), truck started to bog down and then shut off. Could not refire, although the truck did sputter and stumble like it wanted to run. Finally got it to fire and respond to throttle, but...

Suprman, thanks very much for the prompt reply. Would I have issues with hub seals when the schrader valves were in place? The truck has always been good at holding air. No issues with tires leaking down. Also would hub seals cause 5 blinking indicators instead of 4? As an update, the...

Guys, I'm working through a similar problem. Initially had 5 instant flashing lights and the system would do nothing other than a pressure click at the in-cab controller. Found schrader valves in the flexible lines at all 6 wheels (diagnosed by being unable to fill/check air pressure at...

:driver:I didn't do anything TO my 5-ton, but I did do something WITH my 5-ton.

This is a gravel pile that I have behind the house. For reference, the silhouette target is exactly 6 feet tall at the top edge.

Has the truck always had this problem or do you suspect you broke something? If this has always been the case, you may want to have a friend work the T-Case lever while you observe the linkage. It may just need a little adjustment to get into Low. You'll want to shorten up on the linkage to get...

Air lockout is an air-operated actuator on the T-case that prevents you from shifting into Low range without first pressing the button on the front of the T-case shifter handle. This is designed to prevent accidental shifting of the T-case. This is more important on 9-series wreckers or...

I was able to bypass the lockout actuator. Since there's not much here on what's involved, I though I would post what I did. There's an adapter between the actuator body and the air line. This adapter is compression male (for the air line fitting) to 1/8" NPT male (for the actuator). I...

Update: I was able to work a little more yesterday evening thanks to the extra daylight. I flushed all of the linkage points liberally with WD-40, while a friend worked the t-case shift handle (disconnected from the T-case). Then I applied a good coat of white lithium spray grease to all the...

The parts were purchased from Equipment Parts Sales in PA or www.shop.equipmentpartssalespa.com. They also have a nice eBay store where I initially purchased the dipstick/plug. I contacted them directly about the filter kit. They were very prompt with replies and speedy with shipping. They...

Update: I was able to order a NOS dipstick/plug and rebuild kit. The old dipstick plug was completely worn out to the point of having no adjustment left. I also replaced the filter and lid gaskets (one for the lid, one for the stud thumb screw) while I was at it. Also, in order to change the...
