Will be awhile before I mess with it. Gotta finish the airbrake conversion, detroit locker, dog bones, hydraulic kit, tool/welding m103 trailer, and setup the m51a2 remains as a trailer first. All things I have the parts for just haven't installed yet.

I'll try PB Blaster, I think I have some around here, already bought a replacement easy out, hope I don't snap this one too. Worse case I'll drill hole larger and re-tap, so much for a quick easy fix...

Aerokroil..

Got the Eyecon lights installed with some tips from M35A2-AZ. I had planned the setup since I saw the kit but he beat me to installing it. Anyway..onto the cab liner and HEMTT seats..

Nice!!

This is amazing thank you!!

I added a 5 drawer toolbox to get my hand tools out of the main box. I never liked the idea of a toolbox inside a toolbox, which is what I have had for a while. Having to empty the box to get the lid on the other box open is a bit annoying.

Used to have one of the 'smooth side' version of those boxes in my pickup. Great size and pretty well organized box.

My 923 has been upgraded to daily driver status for the next 2 weeks. Sending the wife's DD out for paint work so she's driving mine.

Little project finished, from 2 broken bolts on thermostat housing to all sealed up with no leaks,,,only 2 full days of drilling, welding, cussing, praying and several trips to parts house for hose, antifreeze, drill bits (that I broke, which caused the cussing).
But shes back together and ready for Titusville.

Thanks to all those who sent helpful ideas.

Installed new brighter headlight kits and extra large RAM air intake from TMG.

Bolts always break in Jupiter--- must be the air.. I have no luck in St. Cloud either!! Good to hear your rolling again.

First milestone for me, crossed 5000 mile mark on my M923A2, so far so good, only minor issues so far, hoping for another 5000 "worry" free miles.

Also today took part with local MV group in St Patricks day parade.



Was a blast, plan on doing more. Good for community spirit, they loved the MV's.

 

[bigsix]

well i finally got my parking brake to let go .somebody put a cutoff valve on the service glad hand and it was open . so i thought '' hey ill close it so i dont loose any air''. well that wont let the brakes turn loose. they obviously dump through that line..so i opened it back up and everything works again. but im leaving it on there for an anti theft device. If youmdont know to open it ,you aint leavin with it.

Installed New 395 XZL's on LMTV wheels. Runflats still installed. Rides better than it did by far. Installed new pickup tubes in both of my tanks as I was only getting 62gallons of draw out of the tanks. Very aggravating to run a long ways and end up running on fumes and it only takes 120gallons to fill both tanks. So there has to be some extra fuel some place that isnt getting picked up. Mine are now sitting at bottom with the angle cut in it. Will see how it does tomorrow. Also had to replace some fuel lines that were collapsing //cloud.tapatalk.com/s/58c6108f7a771/20170310_170320.jpg?

Wes, I'm just curious as a newbie, isn't it not always necessarily a "bad" thing having poor pickup? I'd think it could alleviate sucking sediment/junk into your filters, it would naturally settle to the bottom of the tank and stay there. Of course I'm sure a rough drive on a dirt road could stir it up, but still...

 

[simp5782]

Using commercial diesel it is pretty clean and doesn't have alot of junk on it. Most of the places i fuel up at have filters right on the nozzle hose. Plus i clean my tanks every 6 months anyways.

Leaving almost 40 gallons of fuel in the tank that you cant burn is wasting money. When i ran a 55 gal extra tank i could draw 49gal of it. That was nice. Even if i leave 5 or 10 gal in each tank. That other 20 to 30gal is an extra 2hours of drive time at 60mph

Haha, I'm used to dealing with rusty tanks in marine environments where fuel filters plugged up routinely, NASTY stuff draining those off.

 

[gimpyrobb]

I'd have to agree here. Having fuel you can't use is useless, just more weight to carry for no reason. The filters are there to make sure junk doesn't get to the motor.
