So I decided to keep the alarm functional. I got rid of the factory switch and used a Horton 993607. The factory switch is 215° and the one I got is 205. My thermostat is 180 and fan switch is 190 so 205 is definitely hot enough to be abnormal. Hopefully it will never serve any purpose but I’m...

Yeah there’s no info on it anywhere that I can find. The only reason I don’t want to delete mine is because my truck got hot one time and the alarm went off a good 30 seconds before the gauge reacted. Not sure if it was just the old, slow gauge or the few inches difference in location

Any idea why? I can’t find the mwo but I may just not know where to look. If I can’t find the correct switch I guess I’ll just get a generic one. I can’t see any reason to delete it…

Does anybody know a part number for the switch that runs the over heat alarm/light on an m923a1? I can’t find any mention of it anywhere.

Good luck to ya

There is no electric fuel pump and I’m not sure what you mean by a power brake light. I would start by screwing in the fuel shut off override. If it starts, you either have a bad fuel shut off solenoid or you’re losing power going to it.

Synchronized transmissions should be shifted with the clutch disengaged. Doesn’t matter if it’s an m35 or a Mazda Miata. You can play super trucker if you want but it does cause cumulative damage unless you are 100% perfect every time. But you won’t be and the synchros will pick up the slack so...

Since this is the only thread that comes up when searching the nsn…...for future reference, the national part number is 471224

I finished installing Jake brakes and 25% over injectors on Monday. I’ve only drove it about 10 miles but it’s fun making all that noise. I got a short video with the jakes on medium. It slows down too fast on high to get a good video at that speed...

It’s easy to add a turbo with oem parts that are readily available either new or in junk yards. The lack of piston squirters is the biggest reason to add a turbo as it will significantly lower egts. For some reason a lot of people have that backwards. In a diesel more air=lower temps. You should...

Rotella makes a synthetic 15w40. I use it in my dirt bikes.

You must have. It’s been a while now. https://steelsoldiers.com/threads/m923-13-speed-swap.196185/ I’m not really sure where they’re actually supposed to go but I put mine toward the passenger side near the grab handle. I know it would clear the shifter/ctis but I’m not sure on the winch...

I recently put a gun together for the sole purpose of looking cool in my truck and got the mounts bolted in a few days ago

Have you tried looking for a local heavy duty junkyard? Some of them still fool with 855s and some don’t.

Hemtt up front and 5 ton in the back is ideal imo. Hemtt wheels in the rear will make the rear narrower. I’d bet good money that any configuration you choose will be just fine as far as not messing anything up.
