    Pictures of the m923 dash and ctis box area

But im looking for pictures of how the ctis main cable is routed and what not and pictures around...

    M811 throttle/governor

    Are you sure that's not the emergency fuel cut off lever? My m813a1 as one and that almost sound like what you are talking about. I am probably very wrong, I am not familiar with an m811 but it sounds like it's cutting the fuel. Or doghead could be on to something about whatever your pto...

    Just won another m923a2

    So I'm officially obsessed, won a m923a1 in deleware in December and did not want to go that far to get her so I called a buddy in the area and picked it up for me and ended up wanting to buy so I sold it to him easy enough for me. But now I'm still m923-less... So the other day I'm cruising GL...

    Locker, which axle would you put it in?

    I think the first set of duals/tandems should get it. Yes it's more work but if you think about it it's right in the middle and will most likely have good weight on it and would probably help you the most. Having it in the middle will also make it a bit easy to do sharp turns with it engaged...

    NHC 250 head gasket problems...

    Just as a rule of thumb in my book, after assembling any engine allow it to get to operating temp and then let cool down and re check head bolts and anything else that gets hot and check the valves for correct lash. i have yet to have to tear in to my trucks engined but as a mechanic this is...

    809 or 939 series trying to decide

    Yes these tires are a better application then the NDTs, some guys swear by the ndts but they are terrible. They bounce they shake they take forever to warm up, they are bias ply (yuck) and they only allow your truck to go about 50-55 with ur foot to the floor. Now the super single are radial...

    Slave cable powered tools?

    809 or 939 series trying to decide

    You will not find things like that for military trucks. You will have to custom fit and mount and external civi tank like that. What you could do is remove the passenger side tool box on an m809 and add a secondary fuel tank from the tractors or cargo truck(not sure which ones of the top of my...

    809 or 939 series trying to decide

    The m809 series is your best option for your first MV if must have a 5 ton. Why? Becuase parts are some what cheaper, everything is mechanical and easier to work on and more forgiving. They are generally cheaper in start up price and in my opinion they have the mean bull dog stance and is good...

    Slave cable powered tools?

    So I'm flicking threw flea-bay and I found 1/2 impacts connected to slave cables made for the military. how do we feel about these? Are they worth picking up? Does anyone have any personal experience with these tools? I feel like that would be a good thing to have in the tool box on the truck.
