I was considering a 939 dump truck to go with my cargo on the farm. Seems I have heard that the CTIS is a bad deal, and all the dump trucks seem to have it.
Is is a deal breaker? I mean, should it be avoided due to mainentence nightmares?
Thanks.
I may have got lucky, for once in my life (usually its all bad, ha). After the 30 minute commute to work - everyone at work thinks i'm insane by the way, i let it sit and dry out all day. After 5 i crawled up in her and hit the switches - nothing - stone dead.
After some trouble shooting - i...
Severe Flooding here in southern Missouri! I texted my boss this morning - ME: Water is too high for company pickup across my driveway; its coming in the doors and sliding the front end sideways and I just barley got in it. My Boss: Do not take any chances. I am not fishing you out. Wait...
Has anyone had any experience running an arc welder with a 002a or 003a? My question stems from an guy from Nordic Air that told me the compressors on the a/c units had continuous run compressors because it was hard on the gen sets if they cycled a lot.

I picked one up also - doesn't have a battery and looks like only takes one. Is there a 24v battery that goes in there - as the soundproof lid says 24v?
One a MEP701 - the cover on the outside of the unit where the battery goes has a diagram that says its 24v, but there is only room for a small battery inside. I have never seen a single 24v battery - is that right?

I changed the filters and oil - bled the system and she fired. The oil filter housing was a bronze unit from southern automotive wholesalers and I could not get it to seal, so I robbed the one off the 003 that I had sitting there. The throttle cable had been routed wrong and...
Also - do I need to pull low pressure pumps and check an inlet screen - they seemed to be moving fuel ok when I prematurely tried to start unit. Before I started filter changes.
I downloaded the TM and am reading it. I am waiting on filters. The oil filter gasket is not correct - I think someone mentioned that. There was oil leaking from the center bolt on oil filter housing - I took it apart and it seems they had two hard fiber gaskets instead of the rubber one...
