74- Take a look and test for any slop in the front output bearing of your transfer case. I have a 931 with the symptoms you describe. I'm able to notice a slight amout of play in the bearing the driveshaft installed. I'm assuming the transfer case has to be removed and split to change the...

The "A2" 5tons have plenty of cooling relative to the little 6CTA motor. I very rarely have the fans engage on either of my trucks, unless I'm really working them in hot weather. I had to cover the radiator to get the coolant to 200F in order to test each system. Enjoy the new truck!

I've been trying to post a screen shot of the diagram from the P2P program with no sucess... I'm thinking #568 is the volt reference (spliced to #5 and "D" on PCB) #566 goes to "F" on PCB. I think this is the starter "overrun" circ that some PCB boxes have. That feature makes starting a cold...

I don't see what the PCB does to protect the ABS unit or any other device during an improper shutdown. The way the truck is wired, its the PCB that allows the operator to create this condition. (Alternator keeps supplying "garbage" power as the engine coasts to a stop, w/o the batteries in...

Many 3208 truck engines were naturally aspirated 160-210 HP. Turbo versions in later engines up to 300 hp. Hardly a powerhouse. No sleeves / liners either so rebuilds are more difficult. When shopping for an older RV, i I did a bit of reasearch on the 3208 and decided to a avoid it. On the...

It's the same mushroom cap on both cargo's and tractors. The tractors have an extra screen that fits under the mushroom. Another member tought me that last yr.

My 931A2 tractor shifted the same way. The shift points at full throttle was above governed speed. I ended up leaving the transmission alone, and instead turned up the governed speed on the engine, along with the fuel rate. The engine now pulls through 2500RPM, and upshifts at 2300RPM at full...

Yeah, I'll being buying a new PCB. I'll take the old one apart and repair at some point for a spare. Rule out all the easy stuff first before throwing 3-400 bucks at a new part.

A PCB with poor contacts on the batt relay can cause a failure to charge, and the voltage gauge to jump around. I have this going on w/ my 923a2 right now. I compared the voltage at the alternator output to ground (+27.5) and the battery pack (+25.5). It was either a poor connection or the...

The tarp and bows can be installed and removed w/o a helper. It's not "that" bad after you get the tarp lifted up on to the truck.

Nice work! Have you taken the truck out for a test drive yet? I still have a bit of a shimmy at highway speed, but I think it can be corrected with ballance beads or fluid.

I wonder how well a hand-held door power-planer would work on the tires?

Panzerwillie- Where did you get the bird-catcher for your intake stack? Looks sweet, I want one!

215 Dave - I think we were in the truck behind you when you lost air climbing the hill. Were you driving the black bobbed 5t? Had we known you were in trouble, we would have driven up against you and been your backstop. CB's for everyone next time! Looking foward to the next ride.

Who else was a little sore from being bounced around on the ride? I doubt the 2 old guys in the 931A2 behind me were able to move the following day.

I learned a few things from this weekend: CB radios in each truck would make the ride go a little smoother. Some sort of storage in the cab to keep loose stuff from flying around would be helpful. Out of my entire assortment of toys (CJ7, Jeep Grand Wagoneer, FJ Cruiser) the 5-tonners are the...

We had a great time! It was our 1st trip to RC, and we're looking foward to the next rally. The trucks are more capable than I thought. Both of my 5-tonners had their exhaust stacks ripped loose by the same tree, who else lost one? Safe travels on the trip home guys. Jason

Hi Guys- Got the truck ready today, and I'm going to make this one. I'm local (1/2 hr away), and if anyone needs something from the store on my way up, let me know. Looking foward to meeting you all.

Great looking truck. Is the white finish gloss automotive paint, or a textured bed liner type finish? I've been considering doing a tractor in white with black trim, and after seeing your truck, I'll likely go for it. Got any more photos?

The foot valve (pedal) has extra outlets for applied brake pressure. It shouldnt make a difference whether you use the primary or secondary air circuit. If I'm remembering correctly they are 1/4 NPT plugs, removed with an allen wrench.
