    Manual CTIS control how to.

    Did you use a 3/8 or 1/4 NPT regulator? Lots of 1/4 stuff but little 3/8

    LED Gauge Panel Backlighting Upgrade

    Sorry it took me awhile but thanks for the reply. I was hoping to get some more light than you got and might even replace a bit more to do it but a quick upgrade would be nice until I have time. Seems like issues come in groups. Just replaced a headlamp with a 24V civy 55/65 Hummer one and...

    Manual CTIS control how to.

    So building one today since I'm over the trouble shooting after fixing my CTIS 5 times now. What about going below 20psi? Do you go above 20psi to open the valves then adjust the regulator lower?

    LED Gauge Panel Backlighting Upgrade

    Ok so my question is this: Why do you need the longer lens? in the second post it say for more light to exit. My reasoning here is if you used the 1/4" spacers or even 3/8 spacers the LED bulb would sit further back. The shorter lens would allow more heat to escape and you could use the SMD...

    M923A2 Cold Start

    Wish I didn't. Found out a few days later during that my neighbor froze to death in his house too. Just recovered his last two horses Sunday, took about 10 people all day to do it.

    M925A2 Cold Start Test and Result, -11F (Michigan 1/6/14), Cummins 8.3L

    Motor is fine once its going. Christmas night I had to get to a friends for dinner and was going through 4-5' snow drifts for about 11 miles. Shut it down and had dinner/drinks/deserts and fired it up 4 hours later. Only let it idle about 15minutes and the engine temp was barely...

    M923A2 Cold Start

    Mine gets hard to start at the 0F mark but a burst of either and a few cranks help get it moving. I just started it at -49F couple weeks ago.....poor girl if I didn't have to take a snowed in neighbor to the hospital I wouldn't have started her. Honestly she starts its other issues I've found...

    M939 Front Axle Boot replacement.....how I did it.....

    I didnt use the allens to grease. When I had it all apart to do the inner seal I saw that the 4 big bolts go all the way through just like the allens. So I had those off anyways and its a bigger hole. Just take the zerk end off a grease gun and shoot a tube of HD grease in that bolt hole and...

    M934A2 (Van) or M923 (Cargo) considering purchase

    I have a M934 Expando in Wyoming cheap as heck if you go that rought. I like the Expando on duels better than singles for stability. I've driven it up mountain roads and its fine. Now would I want to do that a lot...no. They are meant to be driven set up and left alone. Plus you can beat...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    You need to drop the pan and see what is in it. You can guess all you want but until you smell the fluid and drop the pan/filter its just guessing.
