I have worked on this set again a couple times in the last month. I followed all the above advice and came to the conclusion that the injection pump had issues inside and needed to come out. So I did, took it to a reputable local shop and had it rebuilt. He said it had lots of crud in it and the...

Prior to about 2014, the "Aircraft Remover" brand paint remover available at parts stores would remove CARC reasonably easy. But then the EPA got involved due to VOC content and the formulation got changed, at least for the version that was available for sale in Indiana. What is in the can now...

Are you sure that's a deuce? Looks like a 5 ton to me. If it is indeed a 5 ton, what I've read is that it won't work on a 2.5 ton without significant suspension lift - too narrow of an axle so when turning the pitman arm / drag link hits the tire.

I wanted to give a warning to the forum based on a parts purchase I attempted recently. I had done some tire work on my 923A2 and ended up needing to replace a stud that stripped out. This was one of the 3/4-16 studs on the 939A2 combat wheels specifically. I found a seller on ebay that had...

One of my rear quick release valves did something similar last winter when I had the system connected to shop air to try to find leaks. But only when it had the tires leveled off at the same pressure as the input from the shop air. Basically when the inlet and outlet were the same, it was...

I went back to the camp today to work on the 006A. First thing I did was to open the timing cover to check for fuel. It was dry, no fuel came out. So I pulled the check valve out of the top of the pump and sure enough it was completely clogged. I spent about 20 minutes with various pointy...

Thanks @Guyfang! I did your steps 1 and 2 yesterday and had good fuel flow to the injection pump inlet. I did not try to run the lift pumps with the top of the tee open, but it was bone dry there. I did not try to open the drain on the injection pump either. Is that also the timing cover? I am...

Good morning and thanks for the post! The batteries on this set are less than a year old and were charged completely over the past couple days. It is cranking faster now than I have started and ran it with before, and is still showing ~25.2 volts after multiple cranking events. So I do not...

I'm back working on the camp's generator. After I got it working for them a few years back (looks like 2019 from the earlier posts in the thread) they neglected my pleads to operate and load bank it once in a while by one means or another. It never got used until last year when the camp...

I rebuilt my assist cylinder on my M923A2 a while back and it was a royal pain to get it to force all the air out. The assist cylinder is the same for both, but not sure how much different it will be for you since your pump and gearbox are different. Mine would not get all the air out with the...

Glad to see things are going in the right direction for you! I found a couple ideas on here for things that can help with the reliability of those seals if needed. One was to cut the brass nut down by a thread or two in order to allow it to clamp down harder on the existing seal. Basically give...

The thing leaking air is the filter on the inlet side of the CTIS. I couldn't get mine to stop leaking either. You can get a small air tool filter to replace it. If the controller just blinks 1 highway light when you start the truck, that is the normal behavior. It should try to inflate to...

If you leave out that seal it is able to bypass dirty fuel to the clean side through the threads on the spud. The seal is needed.

The dip tube into the tank has been known to crack, get pin holes, etc. Might be worth pulling it out and checking its condition. Your lift pump looks to be relatively new. Is that something you changed? Could be a sign that there was a fuel problem before you got it and someone was throwing...

FYI on the videos, you can't attach them here. The best way I have found is to upload to youtube and link here.

When was the last time you changed the fuel filter / filters? There is variation in how many that a given truck has, but if one is plugging, it can cause all sorts of low power related issues.

I happened to see a youtube video today that had a decent solution for shortening the stroke on one of these cylinders. If you aren't too late to be able to return the 8" stroke cylinder something like this might be feasible for a longer stroke cylinder. I was looking and PSC does show a 3.0" x...

I was out by the truck today so I took a couple pictures of my lock setup. If you haven't thrown those inside rods away you could do this fairly easily. I remember it being a straight forward install.

I copied off of peashooter who says in post 28 of his build thread that he copied off of someone else. But it works great and retains the security of having all 3 latches. Just make sure you cut the padlock tab off the outside so no one can lock you in...
