    Over temp switch

    So I decided to keep the alarm functional. I got rid of the factory switch and used a Horton 993607. The factory switch is 215° and the one I got is 205. My thermostat is 180 and fan switch is 190 so 205 is definitely hot enough to be abnormal. Hopefully it will never serve any purpose but I’m...

    Over temp switch

    Yeah there’s no info on it anywhere that I can find. The only reason I don’t want to delete mine is because my truck got hot one time and the alarm went off a good 30 seconds before the gauge reacted. Not sure if it was just the old, slow gauge or the few inches difference in location

    Over temp switch

    Any idea why? I can’t find the mwo but I may just not know where to look. If I can’t find the correct switch I guess I’ll just get a generic one. I can’t see any reason to delete it…

    Over temp switch

    Does anybody know a part number for the switch that runs the over heat alarm/light on an m923a1? I can’t find any mention of it anywhere.

    5 ton not starting

    There is no electric fuel pump and I’m not sure what you mean by a power brake light. I would start by screwing in the fuel shut off override. If it starts, you either have a bad fuel shut off solenoid or you’re losing power going to it.

    Shifting techniques of experienced Deuce Drivers

    Synchronized transmissions should be shifted with the clutch disengaged. Doesn’t matter if it’s an m35 or a Mazda Miata. You can play super trucker if you want but it does cause cumulative damage unless you are 100% perfect every time. But you won’t be and the synchros will pick up the slack so...

    Anyone have a napa number for 923 a2 transfer case hi/low shaft seal?

    Since this is the only thread that comes up when searching the nsn…...for future reference, the national part number is 471224

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I finished installing Jake brakes and 25% over injectors on Monday. I’ve only drove it about 10 miles but it’s fun making all that noise. I got a short video with the jakes on medium. It slows down too fast on high to get a good video at that speed...

    Turbo for NHC250 Cummins?

    It’s easy to add a turbo with oem parts that are readily available either new or in junk yards. The lack of piston squirters is the biggest reason to add a turbo as it will significantly lower egts. For some reason a lot of people have that backwards. In a diesel more air=lower temps. You should...

    Engine oil

    Rotella makes a synthetic 15w40. I use it in my dirt bikes.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    You must have. It’s been a while now. https://steelsoldiers.com/threads/m923-13-speed-swap.196185/ I’m not really sure where they’re actually supposed to go but I put mine toward the passenger side near the grab handle. I know it would clear the shifter/ctis but I’m not sure on the winch...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I recently put a gun together for the sole purpose of looking cool in my truck and got the mounts bolted in a few days ago

    Needing some assistance from the group (Search for NHC250 or Big Cam)

    Have you tried looking for a local heavy duty junkyard? Some of them still fool with 855s and some don’t.

    5 Ton wheel tire combo to have best scrub radius/track width match with 16.00 tires.

    Hemtt up front and 5 ton in the back is ideal imo. Hemtt wheels in the rear will make the rear narrower. I’d bet good money that any configuration you choose will be just fine as far as not messing anything up.

    Neat or other things you found when you purchased your truck

    Found this in my m923. I thought it was pretty cool

    m923a2 engine noise

    I'd blame whoever did the rebuild. It should have been good as new after that. Super easy to source the parts and do it yourself. I actually did a small write up on it a while back but your bearings will be different, so just need to get them out and find the right ones for yours.

    Tire o-ring replacement for leak.

    If you're planning on rustoleum rusty metal primer, try a small spot first. I tried it on some rusty metal a while back and it was terrible. I had to clean it off and start over. I have used permatex rust treatment spray then normal primer/paint and it seems to work much better.

    M923 13 Speed Swap

    The only thing I would do differently is get a little more leverage. I’m planning on fixing that this winter. I used 3/4 bar stock for everything. It’s very solid feeling and doesn’t flex at all. I would be afraid to try anything smaller but I see no need to go bigger. The piece on the floor...

    Accidental boost with NHC250?

    Admittedly, I know absolutely nothing about turbine oil. You’re saying it won’t burn? I’m gonna say it’s EXTREMELY unlikely, even if it separates itself from the fuel and doesn’t burn, that it would raise compression any appreciable amount and borderline impossible for that to cause a hydro lock.
