    M-920 "Jake Brake"

    As Floridianson said, the micro switch on the Injection pump(it purpose is to allow jake braking only when the throttle is closed). It can get loose and wont work properly unless the switch is positioned so the throttle linkage compresses the switch when your foot is off the throttle pedal...

    humvee ac kit in the 915a1

    I have that bracket and have had some trouble keeping the compressor tight. I am going to make a second support with a bolt for adjusting the tension and attach it to the back of the compressor. The bracket(rd-9-10055 )in the 915a1 ac tm would be a better choice as it has a threaded tension device.

    humvee ac kit in the 915a1

    I highly recommend you download the TM referenced above( TB 9-2320-273-13&P-2) for putting ac in the 915a1. The Red Dot kit put in the 915a1 by the military is also 24 volt and very similar to the hmmwv kit. Ill try to get some more pics taken today.

    M923A1 Steering Issues....

    Unless this just started and hadnt been doing this before, I think you are probably feeling the outside ujoints on your front axle. They surge like that , it is really noticeable on my M920 with 16.00x20 tires, even more when the transfercase is locked in and power applied. Lockouts would help...

    I have hauled 30000 bushels of corn 1000 bushels a trip for 30 miles round trip in the last 3 weeks and run the ac almost every run and had no problems yet. I think it is going to work ok. The condenser fans only run for about two seconds when they cycle on. Ive only been running the inside...

It came with the proper belt and I used the hardware from the compressor in the kit(about 90 bucks from my local red dot dealer). WHen I put mine together I forgot about the tm for putting air in the 915a1,I...
