    6CTA8.3 engine rebuild for Sur Móvil

    Should just be the top end that fell apart. Best thing to do is to identify why it failed. Seems like the bolt backed out, so I’d get replacement parts, take them all apart, and torque them all to spec, paint stripe them each when done, and reassemble. Distractions during assembly can be...

    6CTA8.3 engine rebuild for Sur Móvil

    Bummer. You have the worst mechanical luck. 8.3’s are nearly bulletproof. That one 12 point bolt looks like it is backed out?

    M900 comfort upgrades

    I picked up an air ride seat and base for $150. You guys need to cruise CL more often and post want ads there. Adjustable arm rests, air lumbar back, a$$ squeezers, all of it. Was going to put the seat below on the air adjust base, but the seat that came with it is pretty darn comfortable.

    Thanks Everyone

    He gets it. He speaks intelligently and has humor. I think a point was mentioned that he didn’t consider and he agrees with. This thread actually was started by him thanking us, and admitting he is still getting his forum skills tuned in. In fairness to him, it needs to be watched and...

    steering wheel for M925A2

    Get one of the small diameter chain link steering wheels the low riders use. That would be sweet-chuck.

    Do you pay tonnage with collector plates? (WA state)

    I follow what my boss tells me at work. "Make every decision as if you will be standing in court needing to explain it, because you just likely may.". I run full GVW plates here in MI, fastened to the truck, at a cost of $497 for 12 months. 2 others I know run historical and keep them in the...

    Thanks Everyone

    Russ, I'm not sure of this, but there may be a radar on recently for people that swoop in, use the board/system to benefit for themselves only, then ditch out, without providing anything. We did just go through this with a gentleman/lady trying to sell a wrecker with a sudden transmission...

    Interesting Find

    Looks like it. This artical references Humvee, but NFW on the size of these ones. https://www.defencetalk.com/oshkosh-tak-4-independent-suspension-system-enhances-hmmwv-capabilities-29030/ Standard frame rail spacing mount pad, but these are probably worthless in the civilian world. Too...

    Interesting Find

    More info on this. They are Arvin Meritor units, from an assembler such as AM General but not AM General. I am not going to spill beans on who dumped them. They have air locking diffs, and axle disconnect solenoids on them. They are brand new, zero damage, spin freely, and backlash feels...

    Interesting Find

    I could buy all if wanted. No PM’s yet. No idea if MRAP, I would think MRAP is old by now and they are onto the next thing? Doesn’t MRAP use solid axles? I really only know M92xA2 stuff. I can’t run around and do quotes/weight/measurements, I’d venture to say you need to be prepared to...

    M925A2 Cold Start

    This one is a good example of read the manual, I would have to admit. During cranking, press and hold the ether button for 3 full seconds. This fills a cup, which when the button is then released, this measured quantity is administered to the engine in a calibrated way. When the button is...

    Dropped off some scrap at the metal yard, saw a pile of these. Is the differential to something large with indepedent suspension. Mil colored.

    Does anyone have a dragon stencil painted on their truck?

    Thanks for the pic examples. If I build and mount a flame thrower on my 925a2 LWS (legal in civilian world, but against Geneva Convention rules in military use?), I'll now add a dragon.....somewhere.

    M925A2 Delco Style Alternator

    Which part is incorrect? Also your alternator should have been adjustable, and not required a regulator change to vary the target voltage set-point. This would be a good case of "Read the TM", I would support. CARMAN: I am really not selling alternators anymore unless somebody wants something...

    M925A2 Electrical Short/Nightmare

    Goal is to get the OP fixed and prevent re-occurence. Best way to do this is to prevent it from happening again. Best way to do that is to change it so it can’t over-volt (again?). Can jump up and down and say read the manual, but not all that drive it will read the manual, as was already...

    It means your dog bones are going to fall off.

    M925A2 Electrical Short/Nightmare

    It is better to improve the system so it doesn’t happen again. The Delco clone conversion is a much more modern alternator, and more reliable in about 4-5 different ways. Switching alternator types aleviates it from happening again. You could get the alternator repaired, only to have the...
