    M925A2 Hauling capacity

    13.5klbs and it didnt hurt the paint at all. I'd make sure the fold down side braces are on though. The inside ones with L hooks and adjustable center bar. The loader has to go high to load so it doesnt drop far, just sits there

    Power loss or gain depending on transmission fluid?

    Curious I spent lots of times on the fluid threads and the main thing I saw was 15-40 has its lovers and haters and Alison says get it out. But the guys that swapped to 10WT are neutral and the Transync guys are doing really well...its the Dextron guys that have had the most rebuilds. Is that...

    Oil Pan gasket Info

    WOW thanks! I had no idea, there is alot of orange hi temp gooped all over it now so I figured that was either the leak area or a good starts to find my seepage level leak. Very redneck level of RTV....always suspect when I see that crap.

    Power loss or gain depending on transmission fluid?

    Yup Dex and Tractor oil are all 10WT. I dont think you'll get any power gains but you will get faster response with lighter fluid. Basically when looking at the valvle body the fluid runs in chambers that look like worm tunnels in wood. When the pressure peaks for that tunnel the pressure...

    Oil Pan gasket Info

    So dumb question but anybody know the part number for the oil pan gasket? I have a leak I think is coming from the pan and there is RTV all over that pan area. Or should I just remove and use the canned gasket maker? 1990 M932A2 8.3L

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I know I can load 20K but 13.5K I had to air up to 60lbs in my tires and it was 1 bucket. I think I could squeeze 1.5 for the full load and not lose to much going down the road but its only 22 miles from my house to the pit. I just go tot work run over and load at lunch, head home and unload...

    Power loss or gain depending on transmission fluid?

    Well hot its 15W and cold 20-30W in the summer (poophouse guess) its think and sluggish cold better hot....but still not 10WT. Save the 15-40 for the Middle East is my opinion. If youve even torn into a torque converter or valve body you'd see why.

    Fuel tank

    M923A2 Questions. So filling fuel is a pain in work clothes due to splash back from the metal screen in the tank. Since I have a locking tank cap and am using on road quality fuel do I need this for any reason? I read a post about heating it and it unscrews, will my locking cap still fit...

    They tried to kick my truck out of the neighborhood!

    I have commercial coverage from Geico and I pay $270 a year! How do you save $170 a month? GEICO commercial doesn't get insurance bonuses for regular or home insurances.

    939 bouncing

    Do ballance beads interfere with CTIS at all? I know guys used to use airsoft pellets in rock crawlers but they break down.

    Can't get m934 to expand

    I just used a big wrench, think its a 1" or 15/16" and a can of penitrating oil on the locks. Then go under and use a can of garage door lube to get the rest of it wet. Dont forget to be level and have the locking bars off.

    Well that just happened

    gasses in general can build up. A co worker was working on a mobile surgery suit and it has an anesthesia leak. I found him in the morning. I also know guys in shops that had similar stuff happen from CO2, sedaline, gas, coolant, etc. Ventilation Ventilation Ventilation

    Well that just happened

    I started dinner at 5:45PM and started the suburban at 7:25am Tonight I'll check everything and fill the truck tomorrow. I should have a better idea of the 13.5hrs it ran but I think it was on 3/4 and its a bit below 1/2 now. so 21-25gallons

    Well that just happened

    So last night I finished replacing the inner oil seal on my M923a2, once I made a block tool for the slide hammer it was easy. But the CTIS was acting up and I went in to start dinner with the truck running. Made dinner, had a drink, played with the kids, watched a movie and went to bed. Woke...

    Mntsnow's recovery and building of The Beast

    Got the WIX filter on but I ordered a 3" snorkel instead of the 3.5" ( selected the wrong one). So I took the 5-3.5" adapter and welded a 3.5-3" adpater and cut it all down to look good. Looks just like yours but I was getting crappy air flow, popped the mushroom cap back on and my flow...
