    M923a1 air brake question

    I think I might just grab another TC chep someplace. THAT rebuild would be a big deal. Conversly, you can find a used one for $300 bux places like HERE. prob 250-350 for shipping and call it almost done except for change out. Your truck was probably ridden hard and put away wet. There...

    M923a1 air brake question

    Have you made an air hose yet so you can connect it to the right rear and air your tires back up after you lower the air to go in the sand? It will go at 70 PSI but if you start to get stuck air down a ton on all 6 corners and she'll walk right out... What did the manual say for sand, 25PSI? I...

    M923a1 air brake question

    yep your gonna love it...THE SCHOOL! :grd: ...and driving the beasts is a blast as well. When it is all done i guarantee you, you will say "I AM GLAD I DID THAT". Do not go fast in 1st gear low range! I think there is a big warning someplace about going more than 5-6mph in 1st gear low range...

    M923a1 air brake question

    Here are some more links to files. Operators Manual I am pretty sure this is the manual that would have come w/ the truck stock. It would have been in a Cotton Duck Olice Drab holder then all went in the storage box behind the companion seat. 2012 Hand Receipt BII This has lists of parts that...

    M923a1 air brake question

    Before I hopped in the drivers seat for the first time and old pro told me; "Those brakes will put your head into the windshield, be careful.." ...to wit I have been. Indeed, IMO they are "sensative", but, after you drive it for a while you get the hang of them and you will be fine (so long as...

    M923a1 air brake question

    I do believe you speak of the "Air Pressure Govenor" . 90 and 120 sounds about right to me. Do the COLA test Farmall. You gotta learn that bro. It is hard to deal w/ all this w/o having someone teach you the theory as you go. I mean you can watch this video but I do not think one time the...

    GAWD I hate being a noob! How elegantly simplistic! THANK U. I have no issues but that is a good tip to remember!

    M923a1 air brake question

    32,175 pounds is the GVW of an m923a1 yes? the GCVW is I think 47175 !!! HUGE! The truck weighs 22,175 empty and a 10K payload = GVW right? So w/ your analogy your saying as long as you do not actually weigh more than 26000 your ok right? Ummmm, I don't think so. If that were true every...

    M923a1 air brake question

    C.O.L.A. You HAVE to learn what this means. It is a HUGE responsibility driving these rigs and the reasoning for getting a CDL is to make SURE you know how to TEST air brakes, amongst other things. When you take the test at the Licensing Department, here in California, it is the one part of the...
