I have a T in one of the air lines that go to the parking brake. I don't think your truck is set up the same. But I'm sure there is an air line under the cab you could tap into.
Awesome . I hope it works out , it looks like a good truck. I need to get another air ride seat for the passenger side of my M923A2 so my wife can have the same ride as I do. But first I have to re-locate the batteries out of the cab. When I do I hope I can get a good deal on a seat from...
I have an Ensign series air ride seat made by National Seating in my M923A2, I love it. It is very comfortable , I would rather drive my 5 than my one ton Dodge or my wife's Volkswagen Jetta. The Jetta is the worst it kills my back, but it is a Diesel so it gets amazing fuel mileage. The last...
I had a similar problem with mine, I could not get the idle speed below 1000 rpm. I had to unhooked the throttle linkage and the linkage that goes down to the transmission (shown in the picture) to set the idle speed. Then I had to adjust the linkage so it didn't change the idle speed when...

I would like a full hydraulic crane but don't have the money for one. I built my bed crane from a 2000 lbs. engine hoist and some scrap steel I had laying around. It has a hand crank winch that is very slow but powerful, one day I will replace it with an electric winch. I can also hook my...
I had a similar problem when I bought my M923A2. The bottom of the muffler was full of holes and the top seam was starting to rust through. When I poked a screwdriver into one of the bottom holes it opened up to be about three inches long and an inch wide. I looked for a replacement but I...
My 5 ton came with the bows and cargo cover but no troop seats or the metal uprights,just a mix of wood and fiberglass. The wood top piece(#3) measured 2 and 1/4 inch wide , 15/16 inch thick, and 75 and 1/2 inches long. This piece of wood is curved so if you made one out of a straight piece of...
