    That actually looks like exactly what I'd need to do. Thanks!

    Electric Winch

    Hi all, Long story short, I'm getting a really good deal one of those Harbor Freight 12k Badland winches (this guy) and I want to be able to use it on my 5-ton. All the documentation only mentions running on 12 volts. I know *technically* those simple electric motors work with a range of...

    Has the trans fluid debate been settled yet?

    I'll prolly end up buying some TranSynd come spring time. My old trans fluid was in pretty gross shape, so the tractor transmission fluid i just dumped in there has at least gotta be better than what it was lol. Got it on sale for $60, and I've spent a lot of money on this truck in the last...

    Has the trans fluid debate been settled yet?

    Sorry to resurrect an old thread. Hows the tractor fluid working for you? I'm getting ready to do a drain and refill on mine. I was looking at TM9-2320-272-10 the operations manual and based off the temperature ranges I'd naturally wanna lean towards the 15w40. The price between the 15w40 and...

    M923a2 Coolant System Drain and Flush:

    I just made the exact same purchase lol. 8 gallons of concentrate for $100 isn't bad at all. Thanks for the help everyone!

    M923a2 Coolant System Drain and Flush:

    we don't have brazed aluminum radiators on the 939 right? looks like all the coolants mentioned in this thread have nitrites, I just wanna be safe. I am a big noob with coolants so I really appreciate all of your input

    M923a2 Coolant System Drain and Flush:

    So from my understanding so far, looks like buying this and a dose of SCA should be good and safe?

    M923a2 Coolant System Drain and Flush:

    I know the TM calls for 50/50 ethylene glycol to water, but every major parts store only seems to carry the Extended Life Coolants. Was that link that Jbulach posted good to use?

    let me know what brand & type of coolant you end up using. I've got some contacts in heavy diesel repair shops and I'll respond in this thread if they have anything of substance to say. The heater install itself seems to be the easiest part by a landslide lol

    M923a2 Coolant System Drain and Flush:

    i'm also hopping in on this thread bc I plan to add a block heater to my NHC 250. I'm assuming these coolant concerns are the same across both the 14L and 8.3L? I'm not gonna lie it's kinda discouraging seeing all this potential for major problems with all the different coolants. I had a bunch...

    Tach Cable Replacement Doomed?

    Hi all, This last weekend I was replacing my tach cable / cable adapter trying to get my tachometer working again. Unfortunately, once I got the cable out from the engine (where it threads into the injection pump housing, by the mate to the air compressor) I noticed the old tach adapter...

    M923 Hydraulics?

    Hey all! Noob poster here, so I apologize for noob-ness in advance :) Just picked up my new-to-me M923 A1 this last weekend and love it. I've been reading the TMs and familiarizing myself with everything this last week and have a question about hydraulics. The TMs make it seem like only the...
