I had a similar issue on my 923A2 and it ended up being the Protective Control Box. I ended up taking the box apart and came to find that moisture had got into there. So, I took apart each of the connections and cleaned everything up in there and then put it all back together. This fixed my...

Well, I finally got my new compressor in the mail today and got it swapped out. After getting everything back together and refilling the coolant and power steering, she fired right up and started building pressure. After adjusting the governor a little bit, she is maintaining 120psi. So, all is...

Thanks doghead! This seems like it might be the issue! I appreciate your time! I am going to work on this a bit more this week and will report back with what I find out. Hopefully, it will be good news that I fixed the issue and finally removed the generator and air compressor from the bed of...

Thanks doghead! I will service the air dryer tomorrow.

Thanks for the replies. Question: How do I correctly adjust the governor?

Well, We made it back home with my M923A2 after overcoming some brake issues with a temporary fix. Here is what happened and what we have done and where things are currently at. We picked up the truck and everything was working perfectly. After driving about 50 miles, we started losing air...

We made it home!! It was quite an adventure. Here are some of the highlights. We got to the GL site @ Fort Riley @ 830 and they had the truck already started and warming up. This was totally unexpected. They were really nice and the whole process went very smoothly there. We were out of there...

Hey Guys. Well, yes, we ended up using the generator and compressor to supply air to the brake system right at the air dryer. This kept the system around 80psi and we had brakes for the remaining 300 mile trip home. However, as we got about 50 miles from home suddenly my windshield wipers cycled...

Made it home! Off to bed.

Well, we are back on the road and I can't wait to take a picture in the morning of what we did to get her back up and going. Lets just start with saying it involved 2 trips back and forth to Hays, Kansas and a $700 trip to Home Depot for a generator (decided last minute to leave mine at home)...

Guys, I think we got it figured out thanks to a call from another SS member!!! Thanks Paul! We were able to track down a air governor. After talking with Paul, it made sense that this is the issue. On the way back to the truck which is 20 miles west of Hays, Kansas. Will update again hopefully...

It's an M923A2

We have made it about 100 miles with no issues but just started loosing brake pressure. We got stopped and bled the system however, it will not fill all the way back up... Help!!! Thoughts!!! Give me a call if you could walk me through some troubleshooting... Joe 719-375-4741

Thanks! I just sent Glen a PM so that I could open up a line of communication if needed.

Thanks! I will make sure I have a 1 1/8 in my socket set. Thanks for the tip on the 6x6. That is certainly something I will check.

I am planning on posting many pics. This post would be boring without pics of the recovery!!!

Thanks camoyj7, The brake fluid is actually for our chase vehicle. Yes, I have a full socket set under the impact wrench set which is under the tow strap. If you think of anything else I need, please let me know. I actually met up with another SS member today here locally and it was very helpful...

Thanks. I figured that if I bring it along, I won't need it... So, I am trying to bring everything I can think of in hopes of having a smooth trip home.

Heading to Fort Riley on Tuesday afternoon to begin my recovery of my first MV, a M923A2 that I get through GL. Its going to be a group effort. My father, my 8 year old son, along with 2 friends and their sons. We will begin our trip back on Wednesday to Colorado, hopefully! This is everything I...

I will be there on Wednesday this coming week picking up my M923A2 if you still need someone to take a look at something.
