    Gurgling sound in air filter

    OK thank you, I should have added that all fluids are topped off, recent oil & filter change, I bleed the air tanks at the end of the day. Constantly check air & oil pressure and engine temp. Air pressure is slow to bleed down when shut down between jobs during the day. Low miles & hours after...

    Gurgling sound in air filter

    M923a2 Coolant System Drain and Flush:

    I haven’t posted much due to work, just retired so now have time to work on my M923. Completely new to owning & maintaining this truck. It is all stock as far as I know. Plate on the engine for emissions is stamped 1983, I assume that’s build date? I’m a little OCD about truck maintenance so I...

    starter solenoid?

    I only had about 10 minutes to work on it today. I was certain all the battery cables were tight and corrosion free, but I double checked, took everything lose and put back on tight. Same thing, getting power to fuel and voltage gauges, needles move, but when I hit start, same "thunk" noise...

    starter solenoid?

    Truck is farm use and for a year or so, on occasion, it would not start, the engine did not turn at all, when I hit start, all I heard was a kind of grinding noise. Turn off the main switch, wait a minute, then it would start. Using it yesterday, all was fine until it wasn't. Tried to start and...

    M923A1 with 4 six volt

    98G, yes Sir, you are correct. Never delt with 24 volt, and since I've had the trucks, not had any need to boost either. And that's why I'm here. Thank you.

    5 ton gas (OK fuel) pedal sticks

    I'm new to military trucks, had old pick ups for years. My fuel pedal sticks at where it's pushed down to. I can pull it back up by hand. I have sprayed WD40 on the bottom of it where it's attached and pivots, hasn't helped. So before I screw up something, anybody else had same problem...
