    M923A2 Fuel Filter Change Nightmare

    The TM says to crack lines, but my experience has been that it isn't necessary. Silverstate55 sucked a tank dry in his M931A2 and was getting ready to hop out to crack the line. I asked him to humor me and just switch the tank selector and crank. He did so, and it fired up in 2 cranks of about...

    M923A2 Fuel Filter Change Nightmare

    From the fuel caps yes, from the filter no. Some people are lazy and splice a shraeder valve into the fuel cap. Some people are lazy and just crank it enough to prime (me). Some people are lazy and squirt it with ether enough to prime. NOT RECOMMENDED! At this point on your truck, I'd open...

    Dragging a Halftrack halfway across the country

    Three more trips completed MN to AZ. Here's some random pics mixed together from the 3 final trips. These trips were completely uneventful. Oh yeah, except the emissions crap on Redtruck picked the end of trip 2 to decide to clog beyond the ability of a regen to fix. It will no longer be a...

    Air Tools

    I carry a geared lug wrench to break things loose, and a slave port impact to spin them off quickly and easily. Although I've got 13 PLS air tanks and I'm also tempted to increase the air reserve to run a 1" impact.

    Deuce For sale. Is it worth it?

    I'd pass. You're going to be into it for $5k in short order. You can buy one complete and done for less. The only advantage to this one over one that's turn-key is that you can spread out the expenditures over time.

    8.3 fuel filter upgrade?

    Some random thoughts and data for you - 1) not all of the A2s had the larger filter on the firewall. Many just had the small filter on the block. 2) the finer the filter, the faster it clogs. 3) the finer the filter, the faster it is effected by gelling. 4) for the 8.3 it's almost...
