    air pressure too high?

    You can adjust the pressure with the governor but 120 is about right. If it climbs above 130 and is still climbing without the pop off releasing the pressure then you have a problem.

    Towing a civilian equipment trailer

    Just mount a civilian hitch on the back of the truck down below the pintle hook. There lots of threads on here about doing it. I'd go with a Class 5.

    Did you replace the orings when you installed the head?

    VERY basic bead lock question

    Put a ratchet strap around it and smash it down. Work it into the tire and take the ratchet strap off. Easy Peazy!!

    Hydraulic Head Question

    I have done it but I can’t remember if I wrote much about it. The only part that is difficult and I recommend soaking it a few days in ATF or kroil is getting the star shaped bolt out from the side of the head. It can crack if your not careful. I had to rebuild mine because it was a g pump...

    Hydraulic Head Question

    What is everyone’s thoughts on using the plunger from the old head to replace on the new one?

    Sticky fuel shutoff

    There is a clip that holds the button on that can wear out causing the button to come off and also a truck that has been sitting a while will get gummed up and can cause the button to come off due to sludge. A lot of times it won’t come off unless the hydraulic head is removed though.

    Hydraulic Head Question

    You can take it apart and clean it but don’t use anything abrasive. The tolerances inside the hydraulic head are very tight and it will leak if those aren’t kept.

    Did he extend the frame too? That’s longer than a 931.

    923A1 Trouble After Welding

    It never hurts to at least try banging on the PCB box a few times with a light hammer first before you try jumping anything. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t.

    Need help identifiying pump part

    Fuel Control Unit Assembly I believe…

    Will start only with a squirt of starting fluid. Runs great once started.

    Just run a fuel line to the inlet on the bottom of the injection pump. I used a boat fuel line with a pump. It at least eliminates a large portion of the fuel system and help narrow it down a bit. When mine didn’t start it ended up being the bowtie shaped piece in the hydraulic head. It was...

    Eliminate the variables. Run a fuel line directly to the injection pump from a fuel canister.

    M35A2 idle surge.

    You might have a leaking fuel line which would cause the hard start and the surge also.

    Out of Round Tires

    Mounting and changing tires is part of the hobby. Make it a family event…. There plenty of videos showing how to do it.

    Things I need to do before I drive my M925a2 home

    Learn the starting and turning off switch sequence so you don’t fry your PCB and I’d print up the schematics for the brake and electrical system before you go. Check the fluid in the transmission, transfer case and axles also. Extra brake chamber diagrams are a good idea also.
