M923 Dump Conversion with 8" dual stacks

[Bjmca]

thats a nice truck man, I like the dump, the stacks look good, but what about rain? do you park it inside or have covers for them? keep us updated on progress

I'm just covering them with pails, 8" rain caps are pretty pricey, and I dont think I would like the look. I run it just about every day so it's unlikely water would be a real issue anyway, just don't want the soot shower.

Truck has 250 cummins, runs great but...... as I can't help myself to modify everything I touch, I will be doing a turbo install next weekend. I have all the major components already, just waiting on some gaskets.

So have you done that turbo install yet?

Pics???

So how did the turbo install go??

What parts do I need to install a dump conversion on my M923??

That is one sweet looking truck! Great ideas.

Looks great. I have a M923 as well, in Nanticoke.

Have you taken it off road yet? Does the bed have a lot of movement? Great job.

Hello! Where are you in NE PA? I also have a 923 and would love to stop by and see this. I am passing back through that area on Thursday. Thanks, PM me if you can. Great Work!

Really good job. I am going to be doing the same thing to my 923a2, good photos!

Just looked at a 923 the other day. If I do get it, I'll definitely be doing a dump conversion. Would be great for ranch work, and some light logging.

I love the way the truck looks.

Very nicely done sir!

 

[bigboy44]

Great job, I would like to hear it run, i like the stacks!!!!

Make sure to install a pyrometer with the turbo. Adding a turbo with out changing your pump and injectors will only add 20 hp. I know because Cummins already did it. There will be some issues with the Putting in a bigger Engine. One is the front motor mount and the transmission won't last long with more power. Biggest you should go with the Allison transmission is a Cummins 290.

By the way great work so far, the truck looks great.

Hi guys I have not been around the forums in a while, sorry I haven't responded. Yes I still own the truck and use it on a regular basis, just the other day I ran it all day on my property moving dirt and stumps. After hauling stone, dirt, stumps and mulch with it the only regrets I have is not installing a heavier dump hoist assembly. It's to easy to overload the hoist for how much the truck can actually haul.

In my others posts and pictures I have installed a boost gauge and pyro and all is well. This truck runs great now with the mods and I drive it fairly regularly (not so much in the winter).

I may drive it to the MTA in Sussex in April, depending on my schedule.

Hi everyone, I wanted to share some pics of my new 923 that i bought from a member here a few weeks ago. I bought a super clean truck that needed nothing but still managed to make a project out of it. Don't worry I'm not one to start something and not finish.

Heres what I've done so far:

Removed the spare tire rack and davit crane
Added a dump kit from CC Surplus
Shortened the frame 14" to close the gap behind the cab
Installed dual 8" stacks with 24" shorty mufflers at the stack inlets
Reworked the air inlet to rear of cab
Changed the mudflaps to work with the dump
Replaced some gauges

Hope you enjoy the pics, sorry for the dirt in some of them, I just got done testing the new dump!

Would you have a sound file ? I would love to hear what the 250 sounds like with this dual stack set up. Thanks

Great lookin rig. I would like to hear it as we'll. I bet that cummins sounds mean

 

[Danger Ranger]

That is a great looking truck. I really like that setup. Well done.
