If they are mechanical gauges, then they only need power for the lighting. Swap the bulb as Simp stated, or you can run a transformer to step it down. Other option is to order 24 volt gauges. Hewitt industries has quality products that are 24 volt as well. I run their EGT gauge and like it.
A few little things made you think the injectors leave something to be desired. Such as running 1100 egt on an empty truck while cruising down the highway, smoke on idle all the time, hitting 1300 egt when loaded. Yes it could be some pump tuning, but that is stock as well and my engine has a...
My injector comment was more about the OEM nozzles and how they are not optimal in stock form, then compounded with more fuel and boost, thus higher cylinder pressures and you have more unnecessary heat. It would be nice to figure out the best spray angle and hole arrangement for our pistons...
I will be there with my 923a2. I plan on arriving Friday afternoon and will be camping both nights. Ill be bringing a 6000 watt generator and small mig welder.

What injectors did you go with? I will be adding an intercooler soon and want to see what else can be done. I heard the pump will flow enough for 400hp but the injectors have a bad spray pattern, so even when you throw more fuel at it, the spray pattern is outside the bowl of the cylinders and...
I agree with your thoughts on the manufactures. I am interested in hearing real world experiences using different turbos on the 8.3 Im familiar with Dodge Ram pickups with the holset turbos but that is a different ball game, -EX much more fuel available and tuning. We are limited with fuel on...
I would also check fuel lines. If the truck is loping at idle, could be air in the line from a crack or bad fitting. Air in the lines would also cause the decreased performance.
Hello Gang,
Wanted to see if any members have a lead on a good storage facility for a 5 ton, or have room on their property for another truck. Willing to pay per month or trade services or repair work. Looking for it sooner than. Im located in Deer Park/ Dix Hills area.
Thanks!
So Ive been thinking about this. Came across a very similar suspension that I know a guy put on his M931 to bob it.

Im pretty sure it was the older model to this. Truck rides great and has good articulation as well. The single...
Why not make it an air-ride set up? Ive seen two bobbed M923s with air-ride and they ride great. Not sure on the weight rating but the set up is for a 6 wheel peterbilt. Should be the standard 23k rear axle.
I just made my m923 into a dump with the original bed. Not sure on what bed your...

As much as the farm trucks are easier to buy and usually cheaper, they can be a big headache unless you want it only for farm use. Getting one of these older or any military truck to pass a DMV title inspection will be very hard and not worth the hassle in my opinion. Trying to get a military...
