    6CTA8.3 engine rebuild for Sur Móvil

    Sorry, zoned out and went straight to send Clint$ in the instal sequence. Thought I remember Will suggesting the p pump would need 8.3 p pump specific lines, as in 8.3 mw high pressure line wouldn’t work? Not trying to Dick up a sale, just know neither of you need any surprises!

    M923A2 - Loss of Power While Driving

    Well that didn’t give me the results I was looking for... I swapped my in a used overflow valve of unknown condition, went from 17psi down to 7, put the old one back in, back to 17psi, ordered up another set of new filters before I mess with anything else.

    MRAP wheels -ctis OK?

    Yep, instead of prying between the rim and the tire, pry the two wheel halves apart an inch or two, and block them apart, then thump them. After the small half is off flip the whole tire/wheel over, and block it up so the tires a few inches off the ground, then thump that side. Yes, you may have...

    MRAP wheels -ctis OK?

    Ive got to learn how to post a video, I’m down to 3 minutes each for breaking then down[emoji6] Get out the sledge and thump the sidewall as close to the rim as you can get, about a half a dozen times working your way around, and they’ll “usually” pop right off.

    M923/931 as commercial vehicle in Texas

    I think you nailed it for the stock power level, at least the little school bus motor in my 925a2. This trucks perfect up to 48k, but the difference in acceleration and braking between 48k to 50-52ish, seems about the same difference as going from 24k to 48k, but boy does it ride nice at 50k vs...

    Prisoner from Lansing, KS escapes in M929.

    Maybe you should read this before they lock you up again.

    M923A2 - Loss of Power While Driving

    Running more like 10-15psi on the road. Guess I’ll start by switching out the overflow valve and see what I get.

    M939-A2 Cooling Fan Air Valve Question

    For the simple seals you don’t have to take the probe side apart, but when I rebuilt mine it caused a temperature shift. It may be junk now, but... I went to far with the adjustment and was chasing it around this summer, not messing with it anymore this winter, as I’m toward the hot side now...

    M939-A2 Cooling Fan Air Valve Question

    The filter elbow is normal for the INPUT side. I used the tail end of two snug fitting drill bits and a square shafted screw driver to get the cap off, my other one had marks on it where someone used a pipe wrench. Be sure to make note of how many threads are showing on the other end. I still...

    M923A2 - Loss of Power While Driving

    Hey Will, any idea what the minimum gallery pressure is? I lost prime after sitting for about a month. Now I seem to be slightly lacking power, only at WOT, and also lost about 5 mph off top speed empty on the highway. I have not had any more loss of prime, runs smooth, fuels clear and clean...

    M925 M925A2 dump bed hoist install

    Biggest thing I found with my failed attempts, was that you need to get the top of your hoop high enough so that your load can’t hit it when dumping.

    recent problem with Wolverine Technologies LLC

    Did you send them pictures? Not sure why they wouldn’t they just offer to send a simple replacement fan?

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Hey Toby, will 4” tube fit in standard 5x5x1/2 or do you use a special tube thats made like receiver tube, thats slightly over sized and the weld broached out? Ive been looking for something like this for a few projects.

    Remove paint but leave CARC!

    Try hot high pressure washer or steam. If they didn’t do any surface prep before spray bombing, it may blast right off.

    Airbrake hand controller 'Trolley valve' install assistance needed.

    I had some DOT approved popcorn once, but someone told me the NHC250 was better than the 8.3 and I spilled it all...

    Crane Ideas?

    Yep, just as well off just leaving it open, a lot of other nooks and crevices down there that are going to collect mud that you would typically want to wash out anyhow. You could make my removable can plug sit flush with the bottom pocket tube, and cap the bottom of it, that way there would be...

    I’d likely be interested. Need to get some combat wheels from you one of these day’s anyhow, and who know what else...

    tractor trailer

    20 ton Trail King TK40LP I just bought off Crags list, very similar to the M322 . except only 34” empty deck height and #7800. Now I need to find another axle to go under it, so I can haul my loader.

    Crane Ideas?

    My plug that I made sits flush with the floor. Looking up from the under side.

    M925 M925A2 dump bed hoist install

    Nope. Would love to see some pics though! Nothing I enjoy more than destructive testing than someone else tearing stuff up.
