Thanks everyone for help and input. As it turned out it was air still in the lines. Got it bled out, and drove the truck which worked out the rest of the air. Then turned the low fuel up 3 revolutions and governor up 3 clicks. Runs GREAT now. Actually idles where it was supposed to and better...

Yes, changed both filters before I drove it 1000 miles, changed halfway thru trip & installed new filters yesterday after cleaning tank and lines. Put all new diesel in it along with Algae X. So 1st time it started after cleaning system, installing new primer pump, new filters and fresh diesel...

Need some help on 925a2. Truck had bad algae problem in tank from auction. Drove it 1000 miles and finally able to drain/clean tank. Primer pump check valve had debris/algae in it. And primer hand pump started leaking after taking apart & cleaning screen and check valve. So ordered new...

UPDATE, I took the advice of several and drained tank completely, poured 5 gal gasoline in, let sit for a day and drained agian. Filtered out large particles with coffee filter from gas, put back in tank and agitated with 2' stick thru holes in baffle to make sure all sludge was gone. During...

Anyone need this filter? I just bought one only to discover after I ordered it that my 925a2 doesn't have that. I was looking at wrong TM. So now I have a filter for the NHC250 pump but no truck to use it on. I paid $11 for it. I'll be happy to sell to anyone for $11+shipping and drop in the...

The 8.3 is the exact same motor as 5.9 just with stroker kit. So mods you find for 5.9 can essentially be applied to this. Turning up fuel is 1st and easiest. I'm going to on mine once we get fuel system cleaned/flowing like factory. Had bad algae problem from DRMO. Good luck!

I agree a toy is a toy. But it's still nice to know what to expect. I bought 2 trucks 925 & 923 and drove 600 miles from Atlanta with the 855 in both and both averaged the same at 9.1 mpg. I just drove my 925a2 from Fort Polk, LA to SW Florida, 1000 miles, and averaged 5.1 mpg. BUT, I will add...

Yes, my 925A2 was losing prime after a few hrs. Yes the primer pump has a check valve in it. My understanding, you cant get just a new check valve. Have to buy the whole primer/transfer pump. My buddy says can get at Napa too. Don't know part number yet. But I'm searching. My truck came from...

You have same black sludge on bottom of the tank? Most/all of it come out? Thanks for the suggestions.

Would like to add one more thing. After 700+ miles it finally dawned on me to cut a stick and wedge on the throttle pedal for cruise control. Easy to kick off with my foot if needed. But sure helped with the leg cramps I was getting for the 1st 700 miles. Wished I woulda thought of it at your...

Wanted to say THANK YOU again Garrett! You rock! Made the trip home to FL. Got home 2 AM Tuesday morning. Only issues I had were when I left your place. As I got into Kinder the truck stalled in middle of rd. I fittled with fuel primer and linkages. Fired up, got it off the rd. Adjusted the...

Yeah, changing tanks is the option I'm looking at. Found a tank in PA and a buddy is 90 miles away in NJ. He may go get it for me this wknd. Figured I'd spend more in chemicals/time to try to clean this one with who knows what kinda results. Also just realized theres an AFC filter in the pump, I...

Smells petroleum based. Super sticky/nasty. Almost like pine sap on the skin. I tried acetone, purple cleaner and brake cleaner. Nothing broke it down when I was trying to clean the filter canister. Which is why I just changed it with new one. So taking lines off and soaking in solvent is not an...

Hi guys, I tried searching for any posts regarding this. I just picked up truck from LA and drove home to FL. It has black tar substance layered across bottom of tank. Filter canister had it too so I changed canister & filters, spin on and cartridge. I drained tank, hand wiped as much of gooey...

On a recovery from Atlanta to Port Charlotte, FL we drove a 923 & 925 with the NHC-250 and both trucks got same 9.1 MPG. We ran pedal to the floor at 57-58 MPH the entire 600 miles. I'll beable to tell you what a 925A2 get after this weekend. Driving mine from Fort Polk area to Port Charlotte...

Wanted to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Garrett picked up my 925A2 yesterday from Fort Polk, had fuel issues and took a while to get it to his house. But he got it there! Garrett you rock! Thanks again and I'll see you this Sunday!

Yes, I had M931 and M923A2 hauled on step deck. Loaded in Atlanta Truck Center, just backed up to dock and load both on. Trailer didn't have ramp so we made dirt ramp at destination to unload. Worked out fine. And driver checked GVW and he was just under 79,000 lbs. Pulled with standard Tractor...
