    Adding a block heater and coolant filter on 6CTA 8.3

    I added a block heater and coolant filter to my 923A2 and decided to share since I didn't find a coolant filter install on the 8.3 when I searched. Juanpardo did a good one for the NHC250, and the principal is basically the same but I thought it would have been helpful to see exactly what you...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    That's cool Swamp Donkey, I'm doing the same on my 923A2 on Friday, a coolant filter and the frost plug heater. Today all I did was make a glad hand to air hose adapter, in case I want to chase leaks or fill a tire off the trucks air system.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I did three things today, got my title and plates from the DOT, built and installed a licence plate bracket/light, and fixed the leak on my rear axle. I built the license plate bracket to use the existing bolts on the bumper, and used a 24v LED light. I ordered a pre-made license plate light kit...

    ??? on Front Differential seal replacement and front bearing cover removal on a M939

    Ok, I did the rear facing propeller shaft seal on my M923A2 today. It went pretty well thanks to juanprado's clue that you don't need to pull the whole thing apart per the TM. I took some pictures along the way, I'll share some to hopefully help others who might be afraid to do it, its really...

    ??? on Front Differential seal replacement and front bearing cover removal on a M939

    I'm going to do the rear facing one on my back axle today, I'll try to take some pictures since the TM is apparently wrong. I'm hoping it goes as well as you say yours went, I have the seal and a piece of 3" pvc to use as a driver since the biggest socket I have is 2.5". Is there a way to tell...

    Hitch Fabrication

    I have a hare brained idea to build a hitch that attaches using the shackle mounting points and the pintle itself. I think doing that would make it easy to take on and off, but it's a bit down the list of priorities as I don't really have any need for it. If I do build one, I'll post it for sure.

    Air Cleaner Modifications

    I posted a reply with pictures about how I made the Wix 46664 fit easily about twelve hours ago, it was "awaiting moderator approval". I guess it did not meet their approval.

    Air Cleaner Modifications

    I installed a new Wix 46664 in my 1992 M923A2 the other day, and found a pretty simple way to do it I thought I'd share. I used some angled strut you can find and most any hardware store, and it took all of about 5 minutes to build the adapter and install the new filter. I zip tied the the strut...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I'm installing new lockable door handles in my M923A2 today, and ordering a few other little things like some rubber cord to secure the soft top. I tried to use what was there, and it broke again.

    M923A2 Alternator wire help

    Well, first post and first mistake all in one day. I went back to verify my wires and look for the routing, and found that 568 is indeed connected to 568. The wire that has no end and is zip tied is also coming from the harness, not the alternator. It is 566, so it's not connected to the...

    M923A2 Alternator wire help

    Hello, new member and new M923A2 owner here, looking for a little specific help on my truck. I have a wire that is cut and zip tied to the heater hose by my alternator. The label on the wire shows 568, which I found the info on that by searching here, and reading the TM's. It should be the field...
