Howdy, I am trouble shooting a case of fuel feeding failure. I have installed a Schrader valve in to a standard fuel cap. I want to also install a pressure gauge in the fuel cap to make sure that I am safely pressurizing the system. What is the maximum pressure I should use to test the...

Howdy, Over the weekend my 923-a2 quit running while going down the road. It would start after a 15-30 minute rest, run very rough and quit again in about 30 secs after pumping out huge clouds of black smoke. So I got home ( a whole different story titled "Towing a 5 Ton with a Ford F-350...

Howdy, Recently I have been in the process of reading or posting on various forums (I am long winded and I do spend considerable time surfing through various forums) and I find that I have been logged out. I have looked in all of the obvious (to me) places to see if there is some option to...

Howdy, I am mounting an aluminum military shelter box (a 8'w x 12' Craig 73) on the bed of my 923-a2. I live and roam in the South West (e.g., Black Rock Desert, Death Valley, NV & AZ) so box height and width is less critical to me that those in heavily forested areas. After I remove the...

Howdy, Today while slowly rolling down a hill the back of my M923 kicked hard to the right when I applied the brakes (gently) and there was a non-standard clank/clunk. When I climbed down to take a look I found the the first rear axle right tire almost touching the second rear axle right side...

Howdy, I have a new to me 923A2 and I have shade tree mechanical skills at best and virtually no diesel skills at all! When I got my truck the previous owner told me that "maybe the guy he bought the truck from turned up the fuel". I have read all of the threads I could find relating to...

Hi Folks, Well I just upgraded from my 1962 Unimog 404 to a M923A2 and while I want to get the CTIS up and running there are a few tasks before those on the optional list ;-) So here's what I'm thinking about doing to make adjusting tire pressure easier than doing each tire separately...
