Question on your A/C Instal
I see you have a dryer/reservoir type. I understand that modern systems don't really need reservoirs anymore but still need a dryer.
Why are you using a reservoir ? :-P
I am curious how you plan build the evaporator / evap box. Since my engine is newer one...
Attached is an audio clip of noise
If you listen to this audio clip you will hear it.
It sounds like the recoil spring on a lawn mower pull start busting but louder...
Try to ignore the wind noise ...
My speed was about 15-20 mph. If i Accelerate faster the noise is much louder and becomes...
It come and stays for a while. Usually the rest of the day. When I park the truck for the night, usually the next day there is no noise until I drive it a bunch of miles and then it come again. It seems to last for about 5-10 miles and then slowly goes away.. Today the sound engaged and...
both of your what? both of your trucks ? This noise is so loud it certainly is not normal. But again it is intermittent which is odd. I'm thinking it might be in one of the differentials. I just searched the TM and there is no Differential Maintenance procedure in the manual
The noise seems to come and go in any gear. I'm dont think it in the transmission. it is extreeamly loud. It sounds kinda like what a failed fan clutch would sound like but louder and its under the truck not under the hood..
Ok, Thanks for advice. I'll do it tomorrow. I just got the truck about a month ago and changed the Oil and Tranny fluid. I didn't really look at the differential oil yet. I put my hand on the axles and they didn't seem too hot. I couldn't find a dip stick for the transfer case but will...
M923A2 Air Conditioning (RED-DOT Bracket)
Ok 1 step closer. I installed my SANDEN 5 cylinder A/C compressor. It is amazing how nice this Bracket kit is. It took me only 5 minutes to install the compress and tighten the bolts and belt. The compressor fit perfectly in the bracket cradle...
Step 1 Completed - Compressor Bracket installed
Well after a serious think, I have decided to buy and install the Kenway Engineering RED DOT AC compressor bracket as opposed to reinventing the wheel on this. Here are some pictures of the new bracket going in. You can see that the kit called...
Matt, That Rig looks Awesome. Where can i see pictures of the interior ? Also a pic or two of the new 53" tires ??
Do you have any plans to do anything with the 105 trailer on the back. Now that everything else looks so good an beefy, the trailer on the back looks kinda wimpy.
I have a M923A2. I am planning on putting in Air Conditioning. I Figured I would explain my plan and as I work on it and I will post pictures. I'm a little surprised no one had thought about adding the evaporator coil to the existing heater system. This should make the install simple and...
After I got my 5-Ton, I noticed all 4 of the 2009 batteries 6TMF were completely dead. I wasn't so happy about replacing them with new 6TMF batteries at about $325 each. I live in Florida so I figured that simple common Group 27 batteries would be the best. So over the last few days I...
12 volt and 24 volt working together
Sorry but that image didn't post correctly.
Here is a simpler one:
Ground (-) Battery 1 (+) - 12 Volts
(+) Bat1 connects to Bat2(-)
(-) Battery 2 (+) - 24 Volts
12V and 24V working together
Does any one know if there is anything problem with installing a 12V system (cig lighter or other 12 volt accessory) and wire the positive to the first (+) side of battery 1 in the bank? I'm interested in running some general 12 Volts accessories and I don't...
