    Elijah95s wrecker project

    I’m hoping one day to have it ready for recovery. Talk about slow! I was able to run 65 if i wanted towing her home even in the hills, but decided 55 was best Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Elijah95’s Generator-welding trailer build

    As expected, the spin on fuel filter offered an excellent fight but it had to go; i was experiencing a strange issue where the Genset used to run a few hours trouble free under a load but when I ran it the other day for an hour and walked away it shut down on an oil pressure fault. Weird, so i...

    Elijah95’s Generator-welding trailer build

    @Light in the Dark Do you know where to source one of these upper well nuts? Mine is falling apart and leaks when the generator is rocked during transport. Is there a “bulletproof” one? I remember some folks have great luck with bulkhead fittings on the lower well nut Sent from my iPhone using...

    Very happy with the quality and build of it. Glad I don’t have to pull the tank to change it either! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Elijah95’s Generator-welding trailer build

    Wow, time flies and grief is a major hinderance to progress; I decided after procrastinating several months to get out there and swap the failed fuel sender with a Kus unit and also change the return lines. I’ll wrap up tomorrow hopefully Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Headlight question.....not LED's

    I dealt with temporary insanity due to ground issues on my M1123, burned out multiple sets of headlights in seconds, gauge problems, starting problems (glow plugs) etc etc all solved with a supplemental ground harness Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    It runs, then it doesn't.

    I’ll start by saying there’s a 95% change you’re sucking air. I come from 7.3 and 6.9 idi trucks and they are notorious for failing fuel return lines allowing air in after shutoff, will run fine and never drop and fuel but lord help the next day it don’t want to fire off until you’ve nearly...

    Elijah95s wrecker project

    Started off last weekend, truck wouldn’t quite run right with the fuel shutoff sticking and truck revving without control, we removed the shutoff cover and sprayed it with PBLASTER working it until it would return on its own freely, and poured half a quart of atf and Howes diesel defender in the...

    Elijah95s wrecker project

    Recovered my a wrecker yesterday from Patracy, and if all goes well going to fix a few issues, attempt to convert to air brakes with my donor M925, and see if a little wallet molestation can breath new life into a classic. Here’s to my M543A2! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What have you done to your MTVR today?

    After purchasing a wrecker from @patracy , took a pre trip photo then tow barred it away to have the truck break the passenger tow bar mount and slide my truck. Apparently 2/3 bolts were broken long ago and the 3rd pulled through the bumper. Thank god everything was ok. Returned today with the...

    SAE 40w Oil in Transmission in M923A2

    My M923A2 had 15w40 in it, temps stayed low, and worked excellent. I grabbed either delo or delvac that met the Allison spec and away we went. Only catch was I’d let the truck warm up for atleast 15 minutes on the first start of the day during winter, and about 10 minutes in the summer, and...

    anyone swaped a m35a2 d type turbo to a c type

    Be forewarned, a Whistler C will create higher drive pressure than a D turbo. Drive pressure is the evil aspect of boost, and boost does not blow head gaskets its drive pressure that does. So, cooler sound, at the cost of slightly reduced head gasket life in our trucks Sent from my iPhone...
