I brought down 8 maples yesterday and the M923 worked really well as a counterweight. Sorry, no pictures.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Any links or pictures for that? Sounds interesting.I bought some locking door handles for my A2 when I got it, they were garbage. After getting locked out of my own truck, I took them off and replaced them with much cheaper and higher quality "locking square shank L handles" that actually work. I had to cut the shank to fit lengthwise, but that was a 2 minute affair. Now my door handles work. Lesson learned, these things were built from common parts. Don't buy something just because it's already green, when you can find it searching for much cheaper.
This is the one I got: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1Any links or pictures for that? Sounds interesting.
Thank you sir.This is the one I got: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I did reuse the tamperproof torx that came with the other handles, and for the driver's side I had to take the handle apart and grind the little stop out to make it spin the right way.
Wow, great work tracking those issues down! That has to be an obscure thing to have a check valve in backwards! I can see how that would get overlooked for a while.Well after a bunch of diagnostic work my M925-A2 aka "The Beast II" is ALIVE!
Ultimately what it ended up being the problem of why the dealer I picked it from so cheaply from was...(they couldn't get it running for 1.5 years...didn't have a diesel knowledgeable person working on it)
1. A Dead Fuel shutoff (removed for now)
2. Broken Bleeder valve on the primary fuel canister (the one inside the wheel wheel) it was partially broken off so it was sucking major air!
3. A Leaking Lift Pump (primer pump) along with a leaking STE/ICE sending unit that was installed... I replaced with a new lift pump & pipe plug (not replacing the STE/ICE sending unit since it does me no good anyways without the diagnostic equipment..)
And then finally & lastly
4. A improperly installed fuel return/bypass check valve. The spring was backwards which allowed the check ball to go inside the spring thus the IP was unable to build pressure for the injectors.
Once I fixed those issues I was able to get it running!

Next things up for this unit my plans are oil changes (Engine, Trans, Diffs,PTO,Winch), & Coolant change, Redo the fuel system to use Dual Water separator spin-on filters instead of the canister besides the standard small block mounted filter, Replace the tach sending unit at the IP cover as it's jerky and not working well (it was pretty rusty and doesn't like to turn very easily). Replace the broken turn signal controller on the steering column, Fix the drivers side door window crank, and adjust the transmission shift linkage as it's finicky to find neutral. Besides all of the other normal maintenance type things that need to be done...lol
It is right in the way of the lever actually, but not mounted in any way. It is wedged against the parking brake housing. I do not use the transfer case lever much so it isn't an issue. It can stay in place while accessing the battery box too.Dawico, that cup holder doesn't interfere with your high low range lever?
Mounted a fire extinguisher to the shift tower today.
Andy, -the glove box/cup holder is a clean application, do you have the part number/source handy?I installed 4 extra support rods to my roof to stop the drooping and help with not trapping water on the wet days. It looks much better too.

I also installed a glovebox/cup holder which I put in all of my trucks. It's very handy and convenient.
