Thanks for the replies. I have done the soapy woder trick while plugged into house air. The only two places I can hear air is from the park brake air switch and the front axle engagement switch. I guess I really do need to time it and verify how long it maintains air.

How long should my tanks maintain pressure while parked? I know ideally there are no leaks and it is infinite, but in reality what is a usual time to drop from 120psi to 60psi to 0psi? I know of a few minor air leaks on my truck and debating if I should fix them due to the cost and effort...

I suppose you could, but the wire is pretty simple. Just get some 18 or 20ga galvanized wire. Pretty easy to do. My bolts are a flat head screwdriver, not a hex head, so thread lock might be too much to get back out if needed.

I made an external air line to my air system so I can pull air while truck is running (yes, I have a glad hand too), or pump the system up while the truck is off. I pumped it up and tracked down a couple leaks that I could finally hear without the motor running. Also cycled the CTIS system down...

Up for consideration is my 1989 BMY M923A2 ROPS cab. The truck went through a 2011 rebuild and upfitted with the ROPS cab. Currently has only 5500 miles and is 100% functional/condition and zero rust. I have added some personalized touches (heated seats, lights, interior accessories etc.) to...

In early this time. 1989 M923A2 ROPS.

Nice work. Guess I will have to try again :cool:

What should they be at? I think they are usually like 70psi

Around 35mph my truck starts to bounce like something is out of balance on the front right. It did it with my old tires and is still doing it with my new tires (feels the same as my old tires). Not sure where to go from here, really thought the new tires were going to solve my issue. Thinking...

Roof: Front/floor: Notice the entire dash is different on these trucks. Front windows still fold down if you want. Rear:

This is what I was hoping for. Plus, my speedo always read about 2 to 3 mph slow, so it should help a little with that as well.

Thanks for the tip. Heat was something I was concerned about. The more I drive it, the more inclined I am to just leave it alone. No need to hot rod around in a truck like this. I have yet to drive it with the 395s, will be doing that tomorrow, hopefully it will just reinforce me not wanting to...

There are some interior pics in my build thread, but I will take some dedicated roll bar setup pictures tomorrow.

Got some new tires put on today. The front had some decent weather cracking and the front right seemed to bounce quite bad around 40mph. Found a shop locally that came to my house to install, and also found some XZL's locally in 395/85/20. Will need to get used to the smaller look, but I think...

Hi everyone. My truck is a 1989 M923A2 that went through a rebuild in 2011 and was also outfitted with the ROPS cab. I acquired the truck about 6 months ago and have had an amazing time tinkering and driving it around town. It has been such a great experience meeting all the people who stop and...

I'll throw in this month. Was going to wait for some event shots, but this here is my M923A2 ROPS truck:

Getting ready for parade season, I got an inverter set up to run off the slave port so I can power lights etc. I got the slave cable from eBay cheap since one end had a broken slave connector. I was planning to remove it anyway for an Anderson connector so I can hook up the inverter or...

Got most of my lighting upgrades finished. 4 more led pods on the front bumper and some new led headlights. A rear facing/backup led light bars and a couple pods. As well as some wheel and side facing led pods. All together, they provide some good area light at night. Also, the 4 pods in...

I have already talked to him. Not sure I want to go with the 16r20s. I will be watching his two closeout auctions.

I was able to find a place in Boise (Jacks Tire and Oil, quite a few places in Idaho, Utah and Colorado) that does commercial and agriculture related stuff who will swap tires for $65 a piece (a screaming deal if you ask me). Just need to get the rest of my quotes in line and budget set aside...
