    Pinion Seal Replacement

    Which TM covers pinion seal replacement? Are the shims reusable? How is proper pinion depth determined? Thank you.

    CTIS and Arduino

    My son and I are working on this now. I want to be able to control the front and rear tires separately. I'll post updates as we make progress.

    Is it really as simple as just getting a smaller pulley for alternator?

    I ordered one of these and after several uses, it has noticeably perked up the starting of my truck. My batteries had gotten so weak, the fuel shutoff solenoid would not stay energized when starting the truck. Now, the truck starts instantly...

    Product Review - Locking Door Handles w/ matching Ignition Switch

    I purchased this kit for my M925A2 sometime back from Those Military Guys. One of the door handles required trimming for proper fitment. The ignition switch is a pretty flimsy setup, especially the key itself. The dash also requires drilling and the included step bit burned up before the hole...

    Stowing bows and bow stakes

    Pretty sure that's the one I already looked at. The bow stakes are stowed along the front side portion of the bed. Mine are stowed in the front of the bed.

    Stowing bows and bow stakes

    I searched the TM's and couldn't find my specific application. On my 5 ton the bow stakes are stowed behind the cab in slots in the cargo bed. The angle iron rests that the stakes sit on don't have end caps and the bows will slide sideways and fall down into the frame area after driving a while...

    Not building air at idle

    Thanks! I think I’ll take the front tire off to make it easier as well.

    Not building air at idle

    Welp, found the problem. Brand new compressor head gasket is leaking significantly. Is it possible to remove the head without removing the compressor?

    Cummins 8.3 M923 not building air

    I thought my unloader valve was bad. Turned out the compressor head gasket was brittle and had cracked in multiple places allowing the air to escape. The compressor is a pain to remove too...

    Our first hand experience with an Acela 6x6 camper for 2 days. We made a video

    Are they still using Cat engines? I thought Cat got out of the truck engine business due to them not being able to meet emission standards. Awesome vehicle!

    Low Oil and stupidity

    Don't feel bad. I ran one of my 803A's without water (assumed the water temp gauge was faulty) in it until it shut down on low oil pressure. About a year later, I filled it with water and anti-freeze and it started and ran flawlessly. Tough machines.
