    Another bobber thread!!

    Why not make it an air-ride set up? Ive seen two bobbed M923s with air-ride and they ride great. Not sure on the weight rating but the set up is for a 6 wheel peterbilt. Should be the standard 23k rear axle. I just made my m923 into a dump with the original bed. Not sure on what bed your...

    As much as the farm trucks are easier to buy and usually cheaper, they can be a big headache unless you want it only for farm use. Getting one of these older or any military truck to pass a DMV title inspection will be very hard and not worth the hassle in my opinion. Trying to get a military...

    Welcome from downstate! A deuce is a great truck to tinker with and enjoy. They are mechanically simple and always put a smile on your face. As far as registration, make sure you have some type of paper work when you purchase a truck, such as a title or transferable registration. Also...

    MEP003a Unstable Voltage

    Good morning and a happy Easter to all! I had some time yesterday to find the other two diodes. I unbolted the end cover to the generator head. Having the ability to move the end cover was a huge help in removing & installing the diodes. I cleaned up the bases for the diodes and tightened...

    Service Your Air Dryer

    Did you get a 24 volt version? Or can the dryers handle both? Every where Ive looked says it can handle both 12v and 24v but not option when ordering?

    That thread again? Towing with a 5ton...

    If your looking to tow 20k and under, I say a stock M923 or M931 is fine. You have read a lot of the good and bad points. One thing I havent seen mentioned, what type of trailer it is. At 18k pounds it must be a big 5th wheel or a commercial tag trailer. Either truck will handle it, I would...

    Ok ok, I'll try and get out tomorrow after work.

    MEP003a Unstable Voltage

    Hmm I knew I was getting off too easy. I'm guessing since it's a 12 pole generator that there are 12 diodes. As for the access, I'm thinking you have to remove the grill cover and to do that you need to remove the entire generator head? If so, I'm going to reinstall the 4 I cleaned up and...

    MEP003a Unstable Voltage

    Hey Jim, thanks for the info. Where are the other ones? The wiring diagrams leave a lot to be desired

    MEP003a Unstable Voltage

    Since the ohm meter was not accurate for me, I went ahead with the light bulb test. I applied 12 volts to each side of the diode and used a 12v test light to check the other side of the diode. Here are my results: Diode 1 - Power on wire, light on threads - Power on threads, NO...

    This is how I'm testing them. Some times it works, some times it doesn't.

    MEP003a Unstable Voltage

    I have all the diodes unbolted from the brackets. Its been really tough with the multi-meter to determine if it's bad or not. I'm going to try the light bulb method now. Do all the diodes the test same way? Have the light on the nut end of the diode and apply 12v to the wire feeding the diode?

    EGT gauge

    Those gauges look nice. Clean and simple as well as a good price. Post up pictures of where you install them. I might have to get a trans temp gauge from temp!

    All 5-tons: Heavy Duty Torque Rod Ends

    Are you planning on using the mill or lathe? Personally, I feel more comfortable with a mill but once I was taught, I found it to be easier on a lathe. You have more control and speed options on a lathe plus its already made to feed in the horizontal plane. I would put the tap in the...

    2nd PTO on M916

    Im not sure which 916 model you have, but the original 916 and A1 models have a second pump for aux hydraulics. From the one I looked at, the owner used those to run every trailer he had. Dump, low boy, live bottom, etc. I would check out the pump and flow rates before you try messing with...

    EGT gauge

    Everything on the truck is 24V. As for gauges, you have many options. I run old gauges off my dodge cummins. I suggest using gauges that do not require power for the sensor, only for the lighting.
