Thanks. I was thinking the same thing. I think the other belt issue was a red herring. The only under load aspect led me to that. We will see how good our detective work is. I was thinking bad turbo bearing, but air from between sealing surface post.turbo makes more sense. I read ear that...

thanks for the note. Late nite in MI? :-) Serpentine belt. So no joy on scientifically eliminating them. All or nothing. I spun the alternator and water pump when I replaced the tensioner. Smooth with low effort in both. The squeal is only, only uphill under heavy load at higher rpm. It's...

OK, I will change the compressor belt. Still new at this so bear with me please... I thought the A2 had a gear driven compressor, but I will press on. I checked the PN cross reference for a number, but couldn't find one. Anybody? Oh, no way to duplicate at idle or at standstill while power...

1990 m923a2. Ft. Lewis rebuild in 2012. Very nice shape. Slowly piecing together the little stuff uncle sugar missed. When I got it, it had a chirp under the hood at idle. It would also squeal like a pig under power, uphill at over 1900rpm uphill only. Not through acceleration at that rpm...

Thank you Will. Sorry, I was too new too know that ESN is an acronym for engine serial number.

Which also happens to be the Gates part number, which will cost $50 less from Amazon directly to your doorstep... :-)

This seems to be a common part, but I can't seem to find it listed here. I found a source showing Gates 38513 or Dayco 89414, but the source was questionable. Be a nice one to add to the big list. :-)

4k springs. I understand that the pump on our trucks does not respond exactly like the pump on the 5.9 for which these spring kits were designed. Our pumps getting less rpm than advertised on the kit. Are you actually hitting 4K rpm? That seems high for the 8.3. Reason on I am asking is I...

Still figuring the rules here out. Wasn't sure if linking to outside companies was OK? Lets see if me attempt at hyperlink is successful. https://www.checkersindustrial.com/wp-content/uploads/pdfs/Wheel-Chock-User-Guide.pdf

Great thread and a great reminder. So I dug around a little bit. Apparently there are some general industry guidelines for chock size based on weight and tire diameter. Get ready, this is going to cost us all some money... Depending on your exact wheel size, guidelines are calling for...

This is a fun exercise. Would like to hear more about what you have in mind for the project. I searched a bit and saw a couple of Fusos modified for adventure camping. They seem like cool rigs. But looking at one next to the other, I am having a hard time putting them in the same universe. I...

Thank you all for doing the hard work here. I am building my kit now. Read all 45 pages three times now. So I know just enough to be dangerous. Question, I haven't seen answered. I understand (basically) how the governor springs work. What I am not understanding is the functional difference...

Nicely done. I just picked on up too. I am good, but the bride is having second thoughts after seeing it. :-)

Winner, winner chicken dinner. The PO was convinced it was the water pump. So I dragged one down there and it didn't need one. Back to the store it goes. That's a hundo to go to other toys. :-)

Very new at this game, so forgive me. I don't think we got a definitive answer to the question of, "Is it a problem if tanks 3&4 have hardly any air left after draining 1&2?" My truck is stenciled, so let's assume we are talking actual tank numbers and not just to bottom. Thanks.

OK, that was impressive. I thought I knew my way around a technical manual, but I realize when I am in the presence of greatness. I will bring one 13mm socket (and as many other tools as I can carry) Cheers!

Hi all. Going a couple hundred miles to check out one that sounds promising. Owner says water pump has startup squeak. No problem, check the TM and it is a 4 bolt R&R. I want to make sure I bring the right tools down with me to do the job. Anybody have the correct wrench sizes and if I...

Yes, someday I will find the person who built the huge shop on our property, and put a low door and low ceiling on it. Then I will slap the crap out them... :-)

Thank you. So the windshield folds? Got it. Anyone have any pics? One man operation? How much hassle? thanks all...

I searched, I really did and even checked the TM. So sorry if this has been covered. Got a a truck coming here shortly. My shop door isn't ten feet tall. But would be nice to have it inside during the winter or for service. I got the part about taking off the mirrors, intake and exhaust...
