Thanks for the advise I actually gave up on it today and put the drive shaft back in. I have to have the truck drivable next week and I ran out of time to get parts. I was able to thread a couple bolts into the housing to hold the yoke, that worked well. I can't get an impact in there so little...
I don't disagree but at this time I don't have access to an Allison manual and Allison doesn't seem to be posting them online where I can find them. The TM for the truck just says remove nut yea if only it where that easy! I was hoping some one on here would have done this before and could give...
i'm not sure i dont have one. i was hoping some one here could just tell me oh ya just do this type of thing. i cant believe its as tight or stuck as it is and i'm not sure how much heat i can put on it
I'm changing the rear seal on my 654 Allison in my 923. I got the drive shaft down no problem but I can not get the nut off the back of the trans to remove the yoke. It appears to be lock tighted and I applied a little heat to release the lock tight but I can not budge that nut. It looks like a...
I just put about 6000# in to bed of my 923 and it drove the same loaded as it did empty. I honestly wouldn't have known it was loaded if I hadn't done it my self. Shifted the same and had the same exceleration and braking under load as it did empty. I was impressed even though I don't think...
1st question:
I changed the transmission oil in my truck today just a drain and fill no filter change at this time. I put a Napa R&O oil in which they claim is 10w oil. Seems to drive and shift fine but my trans temp is running betweem 220-225 degrees. I didn't pay much attention to it before I...
What is the little drain/weep/vent tube at the rear of the allison right below the drive shaft for and why do I get oil dripping from it after the truck has been driven? Is that normal or do I have a problem somewhere? After every drive I get maybe 1/4 - 1/2 pint of oil on the ground under the...
I could use some history if it's available? 1983 M923A1

Can you tell if the truck has...
I agree, ether starts just seem hard on stuff. Kind of like dumping boiling water into a frozen bucket. Some engine really knock hard when fired on ether. I do like shooting it into the breather instead of into the cylinder. Seems like you get less shock to the system that way. Like you said if...
Did you install the plate type or the thread in type? Both are listed at Napa for the 855. We have mostly thread ins on the Tractors seems like they wouls seal easier. Of course it may have to do with the age of the engine. The guy at napa asked how old the engine was. One told him it was a 2010...

I think this is the one your talking about thanks for the thread.
I'm not a big fan of ether if plugging them in is an option. They just start so much easier if you have the ability to plug them in. Sometimes ether is the only option though. I was wondering how hard they start in the cold. The only time I had this one started it was about 50 degrees and it...
Just got mine (M923) 16000 miles and 18hrs. showing. Diffenitly was rebuilt I am asumming both number are accurate. Guess I was think the miles were original and the hrs were since the rebuild of course there is no real way to know either. Hours don't bother me as much as miles do. The 855's in...
M923A1: NH250 855 cummins.
Do these engines have glow plugs or a block heater? I'm assuming no since I can't seem to find either.
Has anyone added a block heater to this engine platform before and how did it work for you. I have an 855 in a farm tractor with a block heater which works well so...
So which looks better on the truck in your opinions. The wider shorter 395 or the taller 1400? I have seen pictures of trucks with what looks like bigger wider tires on them. Does anyone know what these might have been? I'm just curious because it looked real nice. I dont personnally think I...
