I've searched and searched and know what the TM says, but I can't find any OE/HDO 10 weight oil in the Virginia Beach area. My trans has been working fine but I haven't changed it or the filters since I got the MV last year. I've read SO MUCH on Dextron III, and the Allison equivalent my eyes...

Hello all, On my 923A2 I noticed recently the oil was a little milky/gray colored if it sits for awhile. I've noticed nothing wrong with the coolant, no power loss, or excessive smoke out of the exhaust stack. I have noticed that if I start the truck up, run it around a little while, and...

I just got a set of bows and the vertical stays for my 923A2 and I'm having some issues figuring them out. The second and last stake pockets stop the vertical stays about one foot higher than all the others, which ends up being about a foot over the top of the cab, at 6" tall I could almost...

Fixed!!! Just to recap: Ended up replacing and adjusting the governor with no change, truck still continued to build air pressure as the "unloader system" never functioned. Replaced the safety valve on the tank and the pressure protection valve both due to leaks which still didn't fix my...

I've gone through the TMs several times, I've actually printed all of them out so they are easier to read. There is a condition describing the same symptoms I've mentioned, I've run the entire troubleshooting guide to the end and got to"notify supervisor". The truck has been in my possession...

On the advice of csm davis I removed, cleaned, and replaced the pressure protection valve on the primary tank rather than just replacing it. It was nasty with rust which I was able to clean off, lubricate, and adjust while putting back in place, it functions properly. I now have air to the...

Hey everyone, nice to see the website working again, you don't realize how much you rely on electronics until they're gone huh? At any rate I have an air pressure issue and possible cure I wanted to run past you guys. On my 923A2 it suddenly overpressurized the air system to 150psi and the...

My truck was a rebuild in 2012 and the radiator looked new, found out it was just a nice paint job on an older unit when I pulled the hose connections loose, you could see several coats of CARC over the rebuild cycles the truck has seen. As far as what coolant I ran I plan on just using...

I'm sure most of you guys know how to flush and fill your own cooling system, it's really a simple procedure and not much different than on a normal vehicle, just a lot more fluid. On my 923A2 even though the coolant looked bright green and relatively new I figured I would empty it out, run a...

That theory sounds plausible. I'm not sure what the parts and pieces are inside the box, as I said electrical work is certainly not my area of expertise. I have left the box with a few guys who can repair it so I'll be sure to question them on what exactly each component is inside. Hopefully...

The fuel pump on the early 90s Cummins CTA 8.3 is an MW pump. It's the same fuel pump as what's used in later CTA 8.3s as well, the difference is how the fuel pump is governed. The MW pump uses a governer that can be adjusted with a few different screws to increase fuel flow and rack travel. The...

Did you find an answer yet? If not another thing to check would be the wire going from the starter solenoid to the large negative terminal on the front of the starter. I had almost the exact same problem you are describing and it turned out the wire I mentioned above had come loose from it's...

Suprman, that's what yours looked like inside? That looks nothing like mine, your looks like a much newer design and probably even easier to repair. Those contacts inside there look like two starter solenoids almost.

I thought the box might have been soldered or braised together and started along a seam around the box with an oscillating tool and a carbide blade. I cut into the seam all the way around and eventually used a hammer and chisel to get the lid to come off. Once I had it off it looked like it...

Maybe you can be a little more specific, are you asking what type of truck as in cargo body, tractor, dump, wrecker? In which case that's a call for you to make, what do you plan on using it for? If you don't plan on pulling around a massive trailer than why would you need a 931? Not that you...

Well, you have now! Check out the bottom right corner! I'm sure there are more informed guys here that can elaborate on it's function, but the way I read it the Protective Control Box (PCB) is basically a massive set of fuses for lack of a better term. If it's electronic and controlled from...

I second the vote for Rapco. I recently purchased an M923A2 which had a pretty recent CARC job on it, 3 color camo. I bought the assorted spray can box from Rapco (383 Green, 383 Brown, and Flat Black. I had just a few small areas to address, the colors are nearly identical. I would bet the...

Thank you again for all the help. I'll see what I have access to as far as materials is concerned. Csm Davis I may be in touch with you in the near future.

That helps a lot, thank you so much.

I'm pretty sure I'm not in need of the 16.00s for the ground clearance and slight increase in offroad performance. To be honest any increase in offroad performance due to the larger tires may be negated by the powertrain loss they create. I was just checking out various sources for tires and...
