    May have blown it up....???

    I know Im going to make allot of waves but I agree with the swap! I had a 6.2 and 6.5 and they run best when hooked to a chain on one end and a boat at the other! I can see the sparks flying from the 6.2 lovers but thats my experience with them.

Water seeps between the backing plate and the wall of the cargo box. YES I would rust. Under the layers and layers of paint the...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Did you see any cracking or dry rot? Also was there any rust on the cyclinder? I think I have one pod leaking. I try to drain the tanks every use but I think water still gets in the system.

    Allison Trans on the 900 series.. and general 800 vs 900 series preferences..

    Bottom line its a 5 ton truck. Thats not all that much when you consider todays standard. Allison makes more HD models but the one offered in the 900 series seems to work good. I must be honest I have never pulled anything or big weight but I have drove them thousdands of kilometers and never...

    Allison Trans on the 900 series.. and general 800 vs 900 series preferences..

    I have a M931A1 and a M923A2 both with the allison auto. I would say its a over kill with this trans and what the truck weighs loaded. I did have to adjust my trans some to loose the hard shifts but now they shift pefrect. I also changed the trans fluid to DEX3. The auto trans lets me...

    M923A2 exhaust mainifold gasket change (help)...

    I was worried I wont lie. I did not think it would finsh as nice as it did. The easy out was a waist of time. The stock bolts are super soft and they drilled out perfect in center. I had the right tap and got her tapped perfect. I think I was lucky.

    M923A2 exhaust mainifold gasket change (help)...

    Dont make the same mistake I did. Spray the crap out of the bolts with WD 40 maybe 5 times in 24 hours. Then dont try to lossen them completly. Tighten a little then lossen and then tighten again and spray more. Then try to lossen them. Buy new bolts and gaskets are the new steel kind. I broke 2...

    Fan not running on my M923A2

    I agree with you. I see on the back it has something that looks like it could be adjustable. Is there a TM on this?

    Fan not running on my M923A2

    Mine now turns on at 170° and runs till it cools to 160°. Sounds like it wont release. I tried a cheap fix by sparying WD40 down the tube and took the valve apart spraying more WD40 inside it. Has the truck set for long?

    M923A2 exhaust mainifold gasket change (help)...

    Well I got it done! I had to ports leaking and the orginal gaskets were the classic old gasket but the new were 4 "slices" of stainless steel. I did have to bolts break off but I had ordered new bolts. I drilled out the old ones and tapped in new threads and all went back together and no more...

    Fan not running on my M923A2

    Well I had time to remove this valve and spray some WD40 inside it and it works! That saved me some money and I suggest anyone having the same problem try the same before buying a new one.
