    m923a2 engine noise

    Mine is for sure the fan. Only happens when the fan turns on, and fan blade is loose. Tightened twice so far now. Getting false tightening feedback because internal threads are rusty. Need to remove clutch, re-tap holes, then install new bolts with new lock washers, and it should hold.

    M925a2 Power Surge

    Cute. You all must be in a hurry to be jealous of 400hp funneling through 13 speeds of madness.

    m923a2 engine noise

    The fan blade bolts back out of my fan repeatedly on my a2 8.3L May be the same issue you have.

    M925a2 Power Surge

    Hang on, I’m eating a bowl of cereal. Honored to see I’m on some of your minds even before 8am.

    5 ton 923A2 overheating

    The fan pulls 15hp when running at 2,000rpm. You really only want it running when it needs to. In a parade, OK, but on the freeway, it is going to suck a lot of power and fuel, and for no reason. Should not take long to diagnose. Also, when you say it was running hot, was it over 200F? The...

    5 ton questions help a newbie out

    So, we were not so wrong, when nearly every one of us posting said to chase the title first, while you were saying you’ve got that part covered via your connections.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    MAdams, check out that intake snorkel. Had it been green or black, I would not have caught it. Looks like it can dry clothes as a side-job.

    M936a1 and driveways?

    23,500# M925a2 on residential 3.5" concrete, driving right on the driveway edge, sometimes tire is only 60% on the edge, zero issues. I know this is not what was asked, but it is simply another reference point. On the contrary, this particular piece of concrete seem uncannily tough. M936xx is...

    As another envious 6 wheeler, the only time I had problems with air keeping up was because one of my gladhand covers was off and the valve half open. Not sure if your vehicle has such, maybe, and another point to check if so.

    5 ton questions help a newbie out

    Welcome, you sound somewhat serious. Check threads here for any CA title issues specific to 5 ton MV's. An SF-97 is not the same as a title, you want to make sure you can get a road legal title in your state. If you get beyond the SF-97/title issue, and you are unable to find another member...

    5 ton questions help a newbie out

    Great questions and advice so far, in the right priority. See if you can take a 5 ton member here with you to look at it. 5t MV is a sizeable commitment.

    CTIS Auto tire inflation system questions

    Be sure to wear one of those skin tight T shirts that have Taco Bell written all over them while doing so.

    Trouble starting the M931, any info appreciated

    Other known problem areas are air leaks and pickup tube failures. Something like a cracked dip tube may not exactly show bad when the tank is pressurized, vs pulling a suction on it. Fitting, filter, and hose leaks can all do the same thing as well. For or something like this, I'd take a...

    So who has bumped the power on a 6CTA cummins

    nevrenufhp has been a great resource here for the Bosch MW injection pump tickling. We're lucky to have him. For anybody jumping into the middle or end of this, the screw on the top portion of the pump under a cap is for pre-boost fueling. This is said to make a large difference in stop...

    Nhc 250 full cummins parts catalog

    Cummins Quickserve is a free Cummins sponsored online parts lookup diagram and more, specific per engine serial number. It may also have such information? I don't own an 855 based engine, but for my 8.3L, it has been helpful.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    One of my favorite things are smart people commenting from the cheap seats.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Yep, just bought a complete convoy light kit to throw atop the stash. May look silly with an LWS and convoy light kit though, so will have some canvas light covers made up. Weighs nothing. Maybe same as an empty duffle bag, or less.

    PM for eBay item number. Was $28.
