All- I was installing the LED B.O. lights that @jeepaddict was kind enough to pay forward and ran into some head scratching questions. The first question lead me to the next and so forth. I'll try to be as accurate as possible so answers are clear. I was changing out the rear white LEDs in...

All- My sweet sweet girlfriend decided for my birthday/father's day she was going to buy the backup camera kit and complete overhead hardtop console for my five ton from Those Military Guys. I had some questions, so called and spoke to them about installation of the backup kit and mounting...

OK all- Here's what I did, I think I messed up, and if you can point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it. I was pre-tripping my M923A2 with the Cummins. I turned in the batteries, waited a moment, then turned the engine to the "run" position and waited for the "click click...

So, a few weeks ago I was loading up the 5 ton to take it to a car show about 70 miles from the house. I packed my normal stuff and went to get my "grab bag" of tools when I realized if it was anything other than relatively minor repairs, I was going to have to BOHICA...... I don't even have a...

I posted a while back about needing a diagnostic tool, and Guyfang stepped up and offered me "this thing I'm not sure what it's for, but you're welcome to it".... Not commenting on the speed of the global mail system, but yesterday afternoon I received this in the mail, and as soon as I figure...

Hello.... I've tried downloading the "Dana CTIS Troubleshooting Guide" several times and when I try to open it I keep getting an "Invalid Format" error. This is with several .pdf reader applications.... any help? If someone happens to have it and can email it, my email is my user name at...

Hello all! I was reading the -10 TM and was reading/learning about the transfer case, how to use it etc and one thing I noticed was in the "speed" section for each gear in each range, Reverse was blanked out in "Low" and it unequivocally stated "DO NOT DRIVE IN REVERSE IN LOW" (or something to...

All- I have been looking through the TMs, but I apparently don't know the correct search term for what the question I have: On the emergency engine shutoff cable, I know pulling it out is supposed to shut the engine off. While going over my engine today, I looked at the position of the...

While doing a post-trip inspection on my truck, I noticed some chafing/rubbing happening, and that's no bueno, so I went to my local parts house. 3/4" heater hose, 4 band clamps later, I have chafing gear...

Since picking up my 5 ton, I've been scouring the net for odds and ends to get everything "right"... from dash light lens covers to other smaller items that just "nitpick" my brain... my girlfriend says between the boxes and envelopes, it's starting to look like Christmas at the house! When I...

All- Just like the majority of our older seats, mine were in poor shape when I bought my truck. The passenger seat was faded from green to blue and ripped and the driver seat was... abused.... no big deal to me. I am using State Farm for my insurance and it was recommended by my agent that...

When I bought my 5 ton, Doug (Trailboss) was really awesome about going over the "small" things that could give me trouble during my day to day loving of the truck. One of the things he mentioned while we had the hood up and was going over different items was the emergency shutoff solenoid. He...

All- I am having trouble with my truck smoking one of my batteries. Brand new type 31s, when fully charged, (brand new) no issues. Both times I've driven the truck when I shut down, when I go to start, my inner battery is toast (digital charger reads ERROR and my mechanical charger shows a...

Many thanks to Juan Prado and the info he provided in our phone calls..... I use State Farm and before buying my 5 ton, I made all the various calls and checked different companies out. I used a Progressive link and ended up being quoted by Hagerty for ~550/year with no garage/carport...

First, let me say a HUGH thank you to Trailboss! The man has been nothing but patient and awesome throughout this entire process! Thank you and kudos, sir! Ok, as I stated in another thread, up at 0400 this morning due to not being able to sleep last night because of the excitement! Hit the...

All- I work offshore with robots and one of the things I teach is electrical troubleshooting. With my new guys I've noticed a lot of times they tend to either overthink the issue or are so intimidated by the system their brain freezes up. My advice to them (and it helps on MVs too) is...

All- Question about a title- a FMV (5 ton) was incorrectly titled as "offroad use only" during the fiasco here in Louisiana a few year back and I'm wondering about the process to get it corrected. I did a search, but what I found were threads I had started back in the day regarding titling...

I'm looking online for parts for a 923A2 and a lot of the sites mention "fits all 939 series trucks". Does that include the 923?

All- After **too** long of not having any green iron in my life (like an idiot, I sold my deuce at the urging of the now ex-wife) it looks like things are coming together for me to get my fix again.. Several members here have helped point me in the right direction and helped me find available...
