Oh I didn't disagree with him, it was more comical than to be argumentative. I was in doubt of how many put a design through engineering software prior to just slapping something together.
I'll post the wiring schematic as soon as I'm done drawing it out. I'm running LED's so the amperage is...
After completion of the circuitry to drop the voltage, I went to a local landscaper supply to get a load of dirt for a road test.
Also unloaded the dirt with a tractor. Everything worked out great.
When I first started on the idea of pulling a standard 2-5/16 hitch trailer behind the truck, I went back and forth deciding whether to mod the truck or the trailer. I hated the idea of slapping some redneck looking abortion to the truck, and instead went the more expensive route of modding the...
Just for fun, remove the air filter and leave the cover off to confirm it's from the intake. It it is truly coming from the intake, it should be much louder and the noise should move. I'm at a loss as well. Just be sure the area is really clean before you run the engine.. These things are huge...
I think some pictures are in order to help diagnose. Can you take pics of your intake, with the attached lines? I'm wondering if something is in the wrong place.
Does your air safety valve pop at all or are running over 120 psi on your tanks?
If so, it may not be as bad as it seems... Your problem may be the air governor, a relatively cheap part, and would be worth replacing before shoveling out a barrel of cash for a rebuilt compressor. I don't recall...
I'm not sure how that could be possible. The only two lines going to the fan actuator should be the supply line, and then to the clutch fan. Is your exhaust port to the atmosphere or is it piped elsewhere?
BTW: Just buy a new actuator. They wear out, and there's not much you can do.
I found a starter / alternator repair shop, and the guy there determined it's definitely the regulator. He's having trouble finding parts, so I may be forced to buying one anyways. He also noted that under the cover for the positive wire, was melted. May want to check yours!
While out having fun in my 923 yesterday, I was bout 70 miles from home when I noticed that it was no longer charging. Good news was I had plenty of juice to make it home several times over. What was strange however, just before I got home it was charging again. I thought at first, the field...
Is it possible somehow when the engine turned over it was running in reverse direction?? My neighbor use to be an owner operator of a dump truck and he had some weird fluke where it fired off in reverse rotation and pumped the fluid out all over everywhere...
Did a short HD clip underneath my 923 while driving down the road. I will do more of these with off-road conditions to watch how the drives torque around things.

I am having an interesting issue. When I run the truck the fan is not engaged for some time. Last night it was about 35F and I was traveling down a level highway at 55. Suddenly that fan came on and would not shut off. Temp's were not high. All fluids are topped off, no signs of overheating at...
I bought it thru a humvee parts contractor for military. Company is called Kascar out of Greenville, SC
They have another 923 and if anyone is interested, pm me and I'll send you the contact info.
