Going to the DRMO really doesn't mean it's ever going to leave intact either. The Gov Liquidation guy in Fairbanks said that right before the transfer of rolling stock to gov planet they were set to get the nicest 923 he'd ever seen, and then the army decided it'd be bettter to take it to...
Read your laws and make sure it's not 26,000 lb GVWR which is the rating when loaded, not empty weight. I know these threads are frowned on so I won't say more than that.
Northern redirects me to the main page for some reason, might be becuase I'm on a desktop and that's from the mobile site. This link seems to work for it: http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200335629_200335629
The plug that you move in the transmission is the non marine trucks, it sounds to me that the marine trucks have a cable operated valve there, both trucks should have the holes. I've been planning on "some day" trying to find a pipe threaded valve that is cable actuated with a cable that...
I'll also point out that some sites leave the air drain valves open on the passenger side of the truck, so before you get any tools out make sure they aren't just opened (if that was the case they might have them closed by the time you get to it anyway). My 923 was like that, I didn't notice...
If there is a tag sometimes the numbers are the teeth on ring and teeth on pinion, divide out and you get the ratio. Keep in mind this is experience with civilian axles, I haven't tried to find tags for gear ratios on a military vehicle before... hasn't been an issue. Even if you do find a...
wiggle and cycle the the levers on your 3 lever switch. specifically the dimmer and headlight ones. I occasionally the running lights won't come on with mine and I moved the dimmer and everything works. In "dim" it seems they always work it's in "bright" that I sometimes have to move the...
If you found a front with the same ratio as you'll have in your rears, there is another possible solution. One of our fire trucks that is 4x4 has a power divider mounted on the rear axle flipped around so that it shoots a driveshaft forward and then it goes to the front axle via carrier...
I'd be interested in doing all 3 axles on mine at the low end of that price range. However, if we're going to be giving them actual commitments to cover development, I'd like to see a discount closer to the distributor price as opposed to paying full normal retail.
I like the looks of it but, after thinking about it for a few minutes, I highly recommend making the front have a 12" or more flat space on it rather than staying pointed like that. You hit anyone broadside in a 5 ton and they are in trouble as it is, but putting all that force on a single...
NAPA should have them as well. If you have a Traction (NAPA that specializes in heavy truck parts) they should be on the shelf (regular one might have to order).
Seems to somewhat depend on your definition of "slow" too. The NHC-250 in my 923 comes down much slower than anything else I own, but the other 923 I had was the same way until the guy who has that one now did the duel fuel line mod to it.
Since all this started happening,have you filled up...
