What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

[Andyrv6av8r]

Touched up a few camo areas,stenciled in some ID markings and re-installed my mudflaps and spare. I think I'm done until I pick up my fiberglass boards for my troop seats from Denton next weekend.

I singled out the M923 last week and we took it out to help clean up a Boy Scouts of America campsite this weekend.

Looks dang good.

I did this to a newly aquired 931 a few weeks back. I think it could be a new type of cylinder vent

Checked the truck on the 1st of march it was full of coolant didnt check it on the 19th


However! THE TRUCK RAN AT 2000RPMS FOR CLOSE TO AN HOUR AND MADE NO NOISE, NEVER RAN HOT, OR ANYTHING.

Went to towing with it and boom. Oh well. So now i will take my 250 out and put it in the 931 and debate over my 923 engine choice

Man that sucks- never good having a window in the side of your block.

Glad you finally got everything home safely. As the old saying goes, "If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all!" Murphy must have a condo in Memphis.

Is it just me or does that look like an old hole? The hole appears to be rusted over. Makes me wonder how long the imperfection had been there waiting to blow out.

Bad scene, you sure the block heater didn't just fall out?????

 

[simp5782]

The plate on the dash says it had only been 300miles since the engine was put in. Could be multiple things? But i have witnesses to the no coolant long idle deal

 

[71DeuceAK]

Lookin' good, Andy! Simp, wow, that's a bummer. Pulling the engine out of the green 923 then?

 

[simp5782]

More than likely. I talked to a guy today and i can get 2 buses with running dt466s for 2200. Just hold em till scrap goes back up but still lots of use able parts. Plus that dt is a monster on power and reliability. Not to mention that 1/3 the weight of a big cam

 

[71DeuceAK]

Repowering these trucks has always fascinated me since I got interested in them. What are your plans for the M931? You must be keeping your two 923s now instead of selling out?

 

[simp5782]

Anything is forsale is someone comes along. SOMEONE put a bug in my ear about a crew cab so im planning on doing that with my 934 chassis. My one 923 is still got 6yrds of dirt in it. 931 will go to a landscape company

 

[71DeuceAK]

Wow, sounds like you've got quite a bit going on with your trucks! I remember when you got your first, green 923 a few months back...your "collection" sure has "grown" since then!
