    New truck and a stuck brake! M923

    I agree. In my search to fix my issue I replaced all the rear diaphrams. The spring tension on this is great. One of my caging bolts even broke, scared the crap out of me. I spent huge amounts of time going through the TM's and the forum to become familiar with the trucks systems. It took 3...

    New truck and a stuck brake! M923

    two lines on one rear wheel were crossed. I looked at the other rear wheels and traced them from the actuator to the valve assembly to see if any were different. One rear tire was.

    Low air buzzer going off when turning the wheel

    When I installed my air o steering I left off the regulating valve based on the recommendations of the forum and the installation instructions indicating it was optional. Works great over the last year with no issues. (edit for content)

    Abs mwo?

    The ecu will actually hold several codes. As explained earlier go through the diagnostic without the haldex box. It is very thorough. Download the TM's. There are two TM's that address ABS. A soldier 'B' is always good to help out because many of these checks require more that two hands...

    New truck and a stuck brake! M923

    I had the same issue with my 932. Luckily I had it trailered to my home. Took me 3 days and the help of a few members here on the forum to locate and switch the two air lines. What a pain in the a...............

    Starter fireworks

    Changed out my starter as well. I cleaned all the connections and checked the batteries. The connections between my batteries was almost melted off. I put two new connectors on cleaned everything up and good to go. I was glad that I had the issue with the starter because I had no other...

    Maintenance - it never ends..........

    I know what you mean. It never ends. I've had my deuce for over 2 years now and I'm still fixing things. Like you I try to keep on top of things and repair before breaking. Stay with it. It will get better as the big repairs get done. Then you can work on getting cool stuff installed like gun...

    Air system relief valve opening on M925...Frozen air lines/valves?

    Went to NAPA to order the dryer filter. I found the cheapest price on the internet and took it in and they beat the price. With taxes it ended costing the same as mail order.

    Air system relief valve opening on M925...Frozen air lines/valves?

    More engine problems (Documentation of testing fuel system, failure of Hyd Head)

    Keep us posted. Good lesson in trouble shooting a fueling issue. I know I won't let my deuce get low or run out of fuel again. Because of this thread I've thought about using the best additive for the low sulphur fuels we now have. Jatonka's web page has a great article on this I will be...

    M813A1 no start issue

    Congrats ! You really need to get into the TM's. This is so you don't do something that might be costly to repair as well as safely operate the truck.

    More engine problems (Documentation of testing fuel system, failure of Hyd Head)

    I think you might have air in the system. Try purging the fuel lines again to make sure fuel is getting through. Some bad stuff might have gotten through the filters into the HH and is causing the issue also. Is the fuel shutoff working correctly and not closing on you ?

    More engine problems (Documentation of testing fuel system, failure of Hyd Head)

    Well I had a similar problem when I found out that empty on my fuel gauge was at 1/4 tank ! I was able to reprime mine like you and make it to a station to fill up with diesel. I only run diesel in mine. I put in 25 gallons and a quart of Dex3 tranny fluid to help clean things up. The truck...

    LOOKING FOR A M925. Need advice!

    I wouldn't recommend a military 6x6 tactical truck for the type of work your looking at doing for the reasons described above.
  17. rrrr

    Well I'm 0 for 2 on a 5-Ton with working 6x6

    Great job ! There are always issues with these trucks when you get them. I don't know of anyone that hasn't had to do a few things to get them in good shape. Now you'll be the expert we go to when we have these issues. :beer:

    M932A1 with shorter drop side deuce bed

    Not having a lot of luck finding a local pintle assembly. Does anyone know if you have to disassemble the trailer connector to get the pintle off or does the front face plate come off allowing you to pull the cable out the back intact ?
