    Transporting M923A2 to Houston

    Sounds like a sad case of price gouging due to the circumstances. That guy would probably try to get the same rate hauling a box truck full of bottled water into that area.

    Storm Chasing/RV 5 Ton Conversion Questions

    Or the longer wheelbase M939a2s, if you need more room. OK, think I'm all out of random thoughts now...

    Storm Chasing/RV 5 Ton Conversion Questions

    Also look into the M916s. Maybe convert to full air ride and dump to drop your profile when in the thick of it.

    Storm Chasing/RV 5 Ton Conversion Questions

    Too slow, stick with the M923A2 and crank the governor up. Should be able to get higher speed rated tires...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    There should be someone around here that knows a little bit about HOW MANY AMPS... Maybe he's busy sitting in his lazy boy with a plunger stuck to the floor watch how to shift video's?

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Yep, once I did a search I see how common these are. I cant believe Ive never run across one before. Also thinking of putting one on my Powerstroke, so I can use one of the batteries to back up my house battery on the camper.

    M925 winch info needed

    Will do! This is a BIG plow with massive, angle cylinders. The lift cylinder is a lot smaller, but I think I should be able to regulate the speed with throttle and maybe a little finesse of the spool. I hope to get back on this in a few months. Looks like farmerboywyotech might get to do some...

    M925 winch info needed

    Although a bit pricey, they also make some cool looking cable operated, remote joysick controls for these valves. I'm not sure if these are the best prices, just the first search that popped up for me. I may try these on a two spool, setup the same as your doing, if I ever get my snowplow...

    M925 winch info needed

    Yep, it's quite the pile! Most times a blessing, sometimes a curse. Those are the same series valves I have, but unfortunately, no 3-spools. Yes, the new valve needs its own tank return as well, for the power beyond function.

    M925 winch info needed

    I'm not sure if I have any 3 spools, I know I have 1 and 2 spools. I'll have to check "the pile" tomorrow"...

    Supplemental Electric Air Compressor

    Other than the few bugs, how are the compressors working out, are you happy with their performance? What would you estimate their typical run time is when they cycle on? Keep up the great work and informative threads!

    86 M1009 water fording ideas

    If your vents are not blocked and you run them up high, your components should not draw a vacuum, however the pressure differential from them being submerged, will push water and possibly mud past the seals. When you run a motor with water in the oil, the two mix, and closely resemble chocolate...

    Manual CTIS control how to.

    So, I tried about a dozen different regulators from air, oxygen, acetylene, Co2 to propane, just blowing through them, they all seemed to flow almost as well backwards. I however did not hit them hard with compressed air, as I'm not sure if it would possibly damage them. I may need to redo my...

    M925 winch info needed

    It is an open centered hydraulic system, but the winch control valve has a "motor spool", A&B ports are open to the tank when the valve is centered/in neutral. I personally think your looking at an overly complicated solution to your problem, but hey I'm the king of overly complicated, IF it...

    You have any info on that selector? Looks pretty slick!

    Yeh, thats what in thinking that they are a check, by the nature of their design. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Manual CTIS control how to.

    I'll try to dig out a couple different regulators tomorrow night and see how they like flowing the wrong way, don't think Ive ever tried it before?

    Manual CTIS control how to.

    Ok, gotcha. Just as long as the regulators will allow the air to quickly bleed back through them when dumping the air pressure off the lines once the desired pressure is reached?
