Thank you for the clarification, Elkhtr. Okay, trying to follow along here. JIC to NPT from the emergency shutoff valve into the 1/4" NPT T-fitting. 1/4" NPT to 3/8" inverted flare on each outlet of the T-fitting into the two 3/8" steel lines, 30" for the front, 40" for the rear. 3/8" Inverted...

I'd like to add that I had some strange behaviour occur today as well. I'm a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.9.4 and Firefox with silverlight and flash disabled, java and all other plugins/addons on ask-to-activate. While browsing the dual fuel feed thread, when I hit one of the other page buttons...

I am so sorry for your loss. My deepest sympathy and sincere condolences. I know exactly how much that decision sucks and how much the aftermath hurts. Our fostered Arctic Wolf, 15 years young and registered service animal, needed emergency surgery yesterday morning. She expired on the operating...

That's beautiful! Congratulations! May you, your dad, and your new truck share many happy memories as the years and miles go by. +)

This may seem obvious, but the air compressor on these is also extremely noisy and can sound like lifter tapping or slight knocking untill it runs up to pressure and blows off the release valve. Did you run the air pressure all the way up till the compressor shut off before shutting the engine...

This thread is pretty old, but I just have to chime in here and say that using the search function to find this thread saved my bacon. Like the original poster, I took apart the solenoid, and subsequently dropped it. I just knew there should be a spring in there, but I couldn't find it anywhere...

I'm wondering if the current situation isn't related to the issues in California and requiring all diesel trucks to be retrofitted with 2010 or newer engines. With a very limited exception list, every diesel truck in CA has to meet that requirement or be taken permanently off the road. Other...

Mac here, we're planning to be at this Centralia event with our M923 for both the morning display and the parade later.

"Collector Vehicle". This is the key to the way the question was framed, and to the answers you received. As I mentioned previously, there are several exemptions to the CDL requirements. One is collector or antique vehicles, which when registered in that category are severely restricted on what...

You are correct, elkhtr, Washington State does not offer Class A or B in non-CDL. Only the Class C license is offered in both CDL and non-CDL. If you need a Class A or Class B license, you're going to have to get a CDL. The Washington State DOL website is very helpful on this. While it indicates...

We're using an M923 on our farms here, and we sent one up to work on a farm up in Alaska a few weeks ago. They're a great all-around work truck and hauler. We couldn't be happier with ours. Hauling seed, manure, mulch, irrigation piping, fertilizer, sod, firewood, building supplies, pretty much...

Things are a little confused on this issue. Allow me to attempt to clarify once more. People are again confusing license class with CDL. There are federal statutes on this that determine which class of license is required based on the *size* of the vehicle, not the application. Under the...

For those who qualify, there is another possible option: Farm exempt. That's what we did with our M923. There is a one time fee of nine dollars for lifetime registration. No restrictions on what I can carry in the bed or how often I drive it, and I don't have to have an ugly license plate...

Maybe I'm thinking too simply, but... Has anyone thought to check if the spring brake override control in the dash works correctly, and if its supply tank is charged? You said that when you brought the truck home, the system was building and holding air pressure properly. Unless you've blown...

It's listed in the notes for the video on its youtube page (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=PmDWQCLWmfk): "Build notes - This body is made mostly with 3mm Komacel and 1.5mm poly styrene sheet, glued with CA glue. Driver is pine, bumper is aluminum. Rides on a GCM 4ten...

I just sat and watched that entire video. That is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Amazing work, incredible attention to detail and accuracy. Thanks for sharing. Now I'm looking at this guy's other projects. Serious talent there. I hope he works somewhere that utilizes all that skill...

I was trying to find the current CA farm exemption laws for you, but I'm having difficulty finding what I'm looking for. The new changes to the CA DMV websites have made finding things pretty ridiculous. You're going to have to go in to your local DMV and ask some questions, and hope that you...

I think you mean Class A or Class B license, not CDL. Also, it's 26,001lbs, not 26.5k, sorry. California has a farm exemption, just like most other states. I've had the farm exemption in CA for other trucks in the past and I have it in WA for my M923 right now. If you qualify for the farm...

I'm not an M37 owner and know nothing at all about those trucks. But I'm very familiar with that engine, having been borne to the IHC disease. That's a much better engineered engine than the original (better than most gas engines and many diesels, actually), and if the swap-in was well executed...
