Hey Brother, welcome and hello from Sagamore Hills! I have an M1008 I'm thinking of parting with. Too many toys and gotta down size. PM me if interested.
Yeah, the right rear Michelin's are backwards. Came that way. Actually had Two goodyears on the front and the rears were all Michelins. Some running one way and some another. Pretty common on these trucks from what I have seen. For some reason all four of the rear tires had severe flat spots on...
This is a good point. Perhaps they are just trying to suggest that the gage needs to read "something" or else it may not be the right one for the job. i.e., a reading of some kind demonstrates that the gage is working and has the right resistance. If it wasn't moving at all maybe that could...
Hmmm. Interesting. Could be a valid point. Could it be possible that another component of the truck requires a certain amount of vaccuum in the intake for whatever reason? And by adding this other filter I now have reduced the pull of air through the OEM pipe. I will have to see what else...
This one's for you bud! It's the only other video I have right now until the weather warms up and I can get the old guy out and make a better one with something other than my I phone! :)
The OEM filter is still operational and also new. The additional blue one just helps with the restriction issues. I am not crazy about the blue one either but it was what I could find at the time. Now I am thinking I might try and find one of the old 5 ton fender mount air boxes and plumb...
Thanks for the advice! It makes sense. As soon as it gets above freezing again outside I will get a pyro gage on there and see if I can't fab up something to get outside air to the filter. Thanks again.
Well, you said "Good or bad"...
Personally, I just don’t get it… not on a Dodge pickup, military truck, or any other truck (or even on a car).
The severely oversized exhaust stack is a phenomenon whose appeal eludes me (said in my best Dr. Sheldon Cooper voice).:D
Maybe I am just suffering...
Hi Guys,
Just wanted to share some pics of a couple new mods I recently did. First I built a new air intake snorkle. Mostly just for fun. I also added a "Y" fitting just before my turbo and added an AFE cone type air filter to my air intake system. I did this because no matter what I checked or...
So your the one I stole the idea from! Sorry brother! I couldn't remember where I saw those seats but it turned out great.....Don't hate me! [thumbzup]
Just a couple more of the M923 and relevant parts. Just put in the two cab fans which I bought from an SS member in the classifieds. The Hemmt seat I got on line. Was brand new but had a slash in the seat from unpacking probably. Had one of the girls at work make me some new digital seat...
My bad! I thought he was just talking about the ribs that go from the rear tube to the windshield frame. I guess I missed the fact that he needs the entire setup. The three skinny bars that run from windshield to the back tube are the same as the Deuce though. But no, the tube going from...
Dont know if this helps but I have a deuce and a M923 and although the cab on the 5 ton is wider it still only uses the same three metal ribs that the deuce uses. They are interchangeable (sp?).. I have also been on the search for tops...soft or hard and all I have been able to find is desert...
Hey Cevon!
Truck is coming together real nice! Starting to wish I had bought those tires off you! ;) Lovin my M923, thanks again Kevin!
By the way guys, Kevins hummer is way cool! you have to see it in person to appreciate it. That thing is ready to go into battle. He has A LOT of nice...
I recently picked up an M923A2 which of course has a muffler as wella s a turbo. I also have a Deuce with no muffler and a whisler turbo. I love the Sound and whistle of the Deuce but it gets old sometimes if you want to talk to your passenger or drive longer distances. So the muffler on the...
Sherwin Williams will sell CARC to civilians!? I just sent them an Email asking about this bt haven't heard back yet. Did you just order it from your local store? Would be interested to know the details.
I agree with 73m819, TM's will explain how the system works. I just picked up an M923A2 and I believe that the gladhands are the same. As a matter of fact I remember ordering some for my deuce a while back from a class 8 parts dealer so I think they are the same. Word of caution, if you are...
