    I just stepped up a little from a m37 to a M923

    Yep. Look into the dual fuel line mod and its results. Fuel button lower # too after you have an EGT gauge. Great sounding engine. Don't use transfer case "LO" and reverse to pull a load.

    M923A2 Fan Clutch Repair - Any Clutch Gurus Out There?

    I thought I read it pulls 15hp at speed when engaged. I'd still loosen and retighten all fan attachment fasteners, just sayin'.

    I installed keyless door locks on the 932

    Nice job. I really value feature creativity. How did you do the wire through the hinge area? Or did you go with button type contacts that mate when closed?

    M923A2 Fan Clutch Repair - Any Clutch Gurus Out There?

    When I say mine are loose, it la is kind of strange but it means the bolts are snug like rusty snug, but loosened up. If I put a wrench on them, they are still tight, but need to be taken out, cleaned, maybe lubed, amd reinstalled tighter. I can slightly pull the fan away from the clutch hub...

    M923A2 Fan Clutch Repair - Any Clutch Gurus Out There?

    OK. That is slightly different than mine. My A2 is a Horton clutch and the fan blade is fastened with bolts, not studs/nuts. I'd like to convert it to studs/nuts to aleviate the looseness issue I am having.

    M923A2 Fan Clutch Repair - Any Clutch Gurus Out There?

    Blade attachment bolts are loose. Reach in front and you can feel the washers will be loose, indicating the bolts loosened up. Common on these. Done mine twice so far, will add Loc-Tite next time, but I think it may be caused by the multi-layer composition of the fan blade hub actually.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I always choose that Australian girl's voice on my Garmin GPS. It is somehow just a little more pleasing than the weatherman's voice option.

    M939A2 A/C Compressor Mount Kit, Pass Side, Factory Serpentine Drive

    It is not absolutely required to index it, but I do highly advise it, partially for the reason you said. It is a simple task of drilling a single hole in the tensioner bracket. I also recommend to cut off one stop ear on the tensioner so it can be opened further, and to also make a new longer...

    M939 NHC250 Delco Remy 33si Alternator Upgrade

    Yes it will fit and work, the alternator is just flipped over. J-180 defines an SAE mounting pattern. The only difference is the 250 engine requires a double v belt pulley with more standoff to it or to shim the alternator forward like done here. The 8.3 uses an 8 groove with no additional...

    Usage Experience of Detroit Lockers in 5T

    Hi all. I'm looking for known actual experiences of Detroit Locker usage in our 5t trucks vs open diffs. From my understanding, marine trucks were equipped with them. A lot affects this, so please no stories of how it ran in your buddy's 68' Camaro, your dad's 1978 Peterbuilt dump truck, or...

    Cummins 6CTA8.3 "Conventional" Alternator Bracket P/N

    Pic of the Cummins cast iron conventional alternator bracket installed on my 8.3L. This will properly mount any J-180 "short" type alternators onto your engine. I am benchmarking a Genuine Delco Remy 110A rated 24v alternator. The pulley, which is not included, is smaller diameter, so the...

    Sorry I didn't follow his entire post. Only read the part where it seemed somebody was looking for switched 12v.
