Not sure what the FSOV is, but I assume it is the shutdown solenoid. No, to that and wiring. No to cranking. No to restriction and idle. Like I said, it acts like it was run out of fuel. After is starts and runs for a while, you shut it off and try to restart, the same thing. The overflow valve...
I have a 91 with the 8.3 in it. Lately every time I try to start it, it will crank over till the batteries are dead. It acts like I ran it out of fuel. It has a new transfer pump, and I crack the banjo fitting on the injection pump inlet loose, give it a pump, and it squirts fuel. Like I said...
I've gotta raise up the rear, a bit. The suspension is from a 98 Pete single axle. Any international, Ford, Freightliner, etc. will work. Outboard springs are inherently more stable. Getting the ride height proper, is the issue. I will put the overload stops on after the body is mounted.
It was years ago, when the gov wanted to standardize regs across the states. It was before obama. I believe when Bush was pres. All of the CDL laws changed. The gov wiped out all the loopholes.
Any motor vehicle with a gvw of 26,001lb, needs a CDL. This is the weight stamped on the tag, not what it is registered for. Also, you need a class A CDL to pull any trailer with a gvw over 10,000lb, and if your combined truck/trailer gvw is over 26,001lb. This is for all 50 states, since the...
No updates, as of yet. Still searching for rear suspension parts. The last setup I was waiting a week for, is still at scrap yard. I have little tolerance for people who don't do what they say. I found another, but the owner wanted 300.00 for it with rotted crossmembers.
Today I stripped my frame and got it ready for the new rear suspension. I scored one today for a hundred bucks. When they cut it out, I can strip it and install it in mine. I got pics, but have no idea how to post them.
Well, so far it looks like any international, and Ford rear suspension will work. As far as the spring brakes go, it looks like nobody here knows. I will figure it out on my own, and inform this group how it will work.
I am bobbing a 923, and originally intended on using a front suspension, in the rear. To avoid indexing the brakes due to spring brake interference, using the under frame mounts; has anybody used side mount hangers? If so, what application were they?
Not all Allison transmissions came with the PTO drive gear. Do the 900 series trucks all have them, or not? I need to put a PTO on a 923. Thanks in advance.
