    Want to put A/C in a M925A1... anyone got pictures of their install?

    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...

    M923A2 horrible loud noise coming from the differential or transfer case - 5-Ton

    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

    M923A2 horrible loud noise coming from the differential or transfer case - 5-Ton

    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...

    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...

    Removing the 4 bad 6TMF Batteries and replacing them with group 27

    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...
