    grease preference

    Are you talking about wheel bearings? Or differential lube or are you talking about the king pins and such. For all u joints,bushings,king pins, ball joints, any where there's a grease zert I use "green grease" it's water proof heavy duty and works really well. And it's green that's another plus.

    To change, or not to change? That is the question (fluids/filters)

    Yes deffintly change all fluid and filters as soon as you get your truck. You never know how long it has sat and how much water has gotten in everything. you can get filters from amazon but it's a gamble you never know how old the filters are. You don't really want to skimp in this area of the...

    All m939a2 filters that you will need

    Yes the spin on filter replaces the big canister filter on the frame rail in the drivers front wheel well. It fits in the factory holes that the canister fits in to. Makes the filter change cheaper and easier.

    I think jcaperella has used air dryers for 75$ but I would recommend getting a rebuild kit for it.

    Does ctis moisture trap always blow air?

    Sorry that was a typo, It was supposed to say cargo truck, not cover. we seen you go past the fuel station and never heard from you since so I'm assuming all went well.

    how to lift a rear axle on a M923A2

    That's a sketchy thing to do. I would not recommend it. I live in Ohio and could help assist with hauling if you need it.

    5 ton runs great when cold dies when engine warm every couple miles restarts after a

    Yea it deffintly sounds as if it's loosing fuel or compression. Like floridianson said maybe you should start small and check fuel filters first check the fuel pressure make sure your not loosing prime. When I got my m923a2 it drove fine for the first 20 or so miles but then the block fuel...

    5 ton runs great when cold dies when engine warm every couple miles restarts after a

    Sounds like your loosing compression, everytime it dies it's cooling down enough to get enough compression to start again. Or or your fuel shut off solenoid may have an internal short causing it to get hot and cut it's power and turn the fuel off maybe.... That's kind of a stretch but maybe...

    Power door locks ???? Anybody done them?

    You can have million dollar door locks with code encryption etc etc etc but my cheaper rf hobby stuff is just as safe. If you have a million dollar door locking system or a cheap door locking system neither is a match against a 2 pound rock or a well placed elbow to the 1/8 inch non-safety glass...
