    Help with a heater core

    Does anyone know what application the M925 heater core came from? I assume it has a civilian application

    M931 Fuel prime problem

    I had a similar issue with mine. After going over all the fuel lines, removing the fuel tank, it turned out to be the small plastic line right at the manual primer. Taped it up, tightened it up and it was perfect.

    1985 M923A1 Over Heating

    Water is flowing fast from one side to the other. When it over heats the radiator never gets warm.

    1985 M923A1 Over Heating

    That's sweet thank you. I'm pretty sure I have ruled out the major component's as in the T-stat, water pump and radiator. When it over heats, the radiator never gets hot. Since the pump is fine, it must be unable to work because of the air pockets.

    Thanks, I think I will do that. I read another guy had a problem with air pump bleeding air into the coolant system. I will start by cleaning the crap out of the cooling system first. Then bleeding every thing real well.

    Impeller looks new, what was wrong with yours?

    1985 M923A1 Over Heating

    Thus far the thermostat did not change anything. After reading some older posts I was thinking the radiator my be the issue so I went for that next. I drained the coolant and thought I would try starting it to see if any coolant came out of the thermostat hose, nothing. Thinking that was odd I...

    Yes, it seems to kick on at the correct temp. Right around 200. That's actually what tipped me off to the problem. I was driving it around my house and it had only been running for 30 minutes when the fan began to run.

    With some of the issues I've seen with RR trucks, I'm embarrassed for the RR people. Many of these trucks would have cost American soldiers their lives if in a combat situation.

    1985 M923A1 Over Heating

    After the test run last night steam was coming out of the small hose end at the thermostat housing. I found a thread by another Steelsoldier poster tbar123. Had all the same symptoms as me and it turned out to be a plugged radiator. Last night I was laying in bed thinking about it and convinced...

    Just checked on it. The pipe coming out of the thermostat housing is hot. The oil cooler is hot. But the radiator is cold?

    1985 M923A1 Over Heating

    I first noticed it in the early spring. I took the truck on a 50 mile trip in 50 degree weather. Seemed to run hot considering the weather. About 200-210. The truck was full so I figured maybe it was normal. About a month ago I took some friends for a ride around a country block. At the end of...

    Red River Refurb over heating...

    Thanks, you might be on to something. Last night I had some extra time and thought I would idle the truck while cleaning one of the cars. It idled for an hour and finally got to 180 degrees. The right side of the radiator was hot but the left side was stone cold. Either the thermostat had not...

    Fan kicks on way to early. It will be on after 5 minutes and stays on the entire time.

    Red River Refurb over heating...

    So I noticed the truck running warm a month ago. (ie 220) But I had it full of stuff and didn't think much about it. Then after using the truck to pull out a tractor I drove it around a country block and noticed it was almost to 240! I made an assumption that it had a bad thermostat. It seems to...

    Possibly No More Trucks from DLA

    I doubt the EPA story is legit. Its possible, more than likely its just a bad cover story for the real reason. With what is going on in the ME and now Bagdad, the military equipment is spread thin. They may be mobilizing for something big. It only makes sense to use up some of these trucks. In...

    Possibly No More Trucks from DLA

    I doubt it, if anything it will probably speed it up, a good portion of GL's work load just got taken away.
