Welcome to the club! I've had 3 electrical fires on my Deuce. Two were started by the old wiring harness rubbing through & shorting out...I finally replaced it with a new one from Erik's. And of course the engine starter had to short out shortly after, burning up most of the new wiring...

Very nice machine, I hope it serves your department well! Thanks for sharing!

Nice hardtop!! They really improve the driving experience, especially in inclement weather. Sorry I couldn't help you with the seats in Phoenix; I feel bad for letting you down.

Glad to hear that you were able to salvage your M931A1! It would be a shame to part her out...I hope you get many good years out of her. The more I work on my M931A2, the more I get attached to her...

I'd certainly appreciate it, and if you're able to help me, please PM me with how I can reimburse you. Thank you!!

Spin on the top Spin-On Dessicant filter Cartridge finger-tight, then slide the air dryer housing into its mounting bracket on the truck. Snug up the 7/16" clamping nut/bolt with a deep-well socket, then insert & tighten the lower mounting bolt (use a 9/16" socket). Tighten the band clamp with...

USE THE SUPPLIED GREASE TO LUBRICATE ALL O-RINGS BEFORE INSTALLATION! I started reassembly with the Outlet Check Valve. Make sure the rubber side of the Seal Assembly is facing down towards the air dryer housing. I found it easier to hold the Outlet Check Valve assembly with the Seal Assembly...

Now let's remove the Turbo-Saver Valve assembly. Using a 1/4" socket and a very long extension, insert this into the long end as shown below...then use a large flat-tip screwdriver to hold the Turbo-Saver Valve assembly in place while you remove the 1/4" threaded screw (Screw, Thread Form). I...

Turn the air dryer housing over now. I mounted it in my vise, but used two soft 1x3 pine boards to protect the spin-on filter threads. On the air fitting side with the smallest air fittings, remove this assembly with a 1" wrench; this will access the Turbo-Saver Valve. Note the O-Ring on the...

This is how my air dryer looked after removing it from the truck. The spin-on dessicant filter on the top of the air dryer body was loosened in place, and once off the truck I removed the spin-on cartridge. I was surprised by the amount of crud & corrosion present, so just because a vehicle...

REMOVAL FROM TRUCK: Please make sure ALL air drain valves are opened to completely evacuate all air pressure from the system. As Floridianson stated above, it helps to loosen the spin-on dessicant filter before removing the air dryer from its mounting bracket. I also removed the bottom drain...

I recently rebuilt the air dryer on my M931A2; it underwent a total rebuild in 2005, but sat with little use until I picked her up in February, with 800 miles on the odometer. I used the upper (DQ6026) and lower (DQ6020) rebuild kits. The instructions included in the 6026 kit are pretty good...

I purchased a new-in-the-crate MTVR transfer case, and am hoping to use it someday for a project truck. Does anyone have photos, sketches, or diagrams of the hookups (air lines, linkage, etc...) for this transfer case? I've searched everywhere for a copy of the TM but apparently they're not...

Just rebuilt my air dryer on my M931A2; while reading through the instructions for the 6026 kit (with the large spin-on filter), it specifically says that when the dryer filter needs to be changed, it will start whistling. In case anyone pulls this thread up when their air dryer starts whistling...

Looks great! I'd love to hear how she does while towing your 5th wheel, please be sure to give us an after-action report!

If you go to NAPA, be sure to sign up for your AITA membership, since you own a "big truck/heavy equipment piece." It gives you a substantial discount on parts/fluids/supplies and is free. Mine automatically renews every year as long as I've bought parts with it the previous year. Most likely...

HOLY MACKEREL, that is absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for sharing! [thumbzup]

It is 4-inch. I upsized the U-shaped air intake pipe to try to increase air flow efficiency...the stock pipe was 3-inch, the new one is 4-inch. I'm not looking for big power gains just increased efficiency for the motor. As for the exhaust, it helps lower EGTs quite a bit but some mountain...

LOL thanks! I had to disassemble everything when my starter decided to short out and take out most everything on that side of the engine...so when I put it back together with the heat shield & wrap I finally finished painting everything too. And I sealed up the windshield to minimize the rain...
