    Injector deal, can this be TGTBT?

    You could just contact Bosch and ask them. If they are counterfeit, I'm quite sure they will let you know.

    M923A2: What is this thing?

    Hmm hadn't thought of that, and I think you're right. I'll have to put one back in...

    M923A2: What is this thing?

    Or if you have the air drier functioning properly, you can remove it completely.

    Tire Upgrade Sizes m923.

    Actually thinking about it, you'll need to use the 365/85 XZLs (assuming there are NOT an MPT). The 14.5R20 MPTs won't seat properly on a 5T combat wheel because the bead flange is too tall. Member "Gringeltaube" has some great diagrams somewhere of the difference between a MPT and standard...

    Tire Upgrade Sizes m923.

    I had the 14.5 & 11.00 setup on my M35 when I had it. It looks really good on them vs. the scale of the truck itself IMHO. On a 5T, that's the only dual setup available unless you want to go really big and use the bridge truck setup. It uses spacers to put dual 14.00R20s on the rear axles...

    Ever see inside the Protective Control Box?

    Understood and I figured as much, I just put that out there for "completeness". I'm curious what the PCB (circuit board, that is) does on the ones that have them. Maybe it has some kind of starting timer to prevent cooking the starter from cranking too long?

    Ever see inside the Protective Control Box?

    Looking at Plode's pictures, it doesn't look to me like that would do a very good job at protecting from reversed batteries. The diodes there look like the go across the coil and act as suppression diodes to bleed off the energy in the coil when deactivated. If no other diodes are added the...

    M923 Brake Question

    In my experience air-brakes can be "grabby" if they aren't used much since surface rust can build up on the drums and make a high-friction spot. Once they smooth out, they become easier to modulate.

    VFD CTIS Problems

    If you're going to use it as a brush truck, it may be worth your while to fix the CTIS for off-road use. Until then, http://www.thosemilitaryguys.com/ctis-delete-kit/

    CTIS that worked great, but now...

    Just about every tactical truck newer than the M939A2 trucks. The -A4 HEMTTs got it too.

    Backhoe recovery with the M936A1

    Agreed with a good recovery. A 5T wrecker is super useful on a farm, and not just for recovering vehicles.

    Problems with swapping oil in a 923/925 transmission with synthetic?

    5W40... Rotella T6? If so I think that's a mineral oil based blend similar to other "synthetics". Of all the Rotella oils it should do the best when cold. What I would be looking for is the oil that has the proper weight when hot (SAE 10) and has the lowest pour point of all of the options.

    Finally found something that does not work on M925A2

    I bypassed the temp switch on my ether system. I can understand why it was there, but I have enough sense to not pump ether into a 8.3 that is above freezing. Heck, mine starts at +25F without help, but it is a bit rough at first. Another thing I did is replace the cork gasket where the can...

    M819 wrecker questions?

    I think that applies to just about any truck-mounted crane that I can think of. That's free-lifting an M35 15' away.

    939 series 14.00 x 20 air pressure

    The 923 uses 70 psi if memory serves. My 931A2 inflates to about 80.

    939 series 14.00 x 20 air pressure

    The 90psi is probably a hold-over from the 11.00-20 tires, which would need that much. What does the M936-correct CTIS unit fill them to?
