FYI fuel full to brim. Added howes chgd filters.

Will post more tomorrow. Headed home for the night. Will try again at first light. Think problem is fixed. Bypassed fuel pickup. Drilled hole through strainer. Seems to run well now. Going to wait until light tomorrow to drive home. Thanks everyone. You guys rock. Special thanks to Buffalo...

Just got it. GL Ran fine for an hour. ran to lowes to get brass hose barbs. Headed back. Will

Does the strainer come off? Strap wrench?

Cut line at filter and hose barb?

Tips on easiest way to tie fuel hose into tank?

How likely is a primary fuel line blockage?

Thought so but truck acts like it's starving of fuel. Open primary fuel filter and get air sucking in.

Stuck on side of road m923a2 fuel problems **** Recover started - Fuel issues causing truck to not run **** What are the plastic lines on top of fuel tank? Do they pressurize tank? Trying to search and read but it's hard on a phone at night.

Congrats on the license from AD5IK. May have to call you on the radio if my recovery of M933a2 goes well this week.

Did you have temporary tags for your truck or just go with it? I'm heading out for mine this week and want to try to avoid any hassles on the way back.

So if the truck has CTIS (A2), I can still air up the tires manually with a gladhand and standard air chuck right?

Tires are mostly full. There's one on a non steer axle that looks like it could use a topping off but none appear to have been sitting flat. (Operative word "appear".)

I think I'll drive south of FLW on the highway until I get comfy with it. I'm going to try to stay off I-44 as much as I can at least until I feel good about the truck. Tires are 1 1/2 lug wrench right?

I've got a guy on speed dial with a low boy and winch for $4/ mile. If I make it halfway home, that's half price.

As far as the base goes, they're cool with drive away. The only hang up will be the truck! I hope I can be one of those good recovery stories instead of the author if a thread on "how not to recover a 5 ton truck."

Well, a little late but here goes anyway. I haven't done many conversions to mine yet. Still 3 phase but the changeover shouldn't be too bad. The set runs great. It's an Isuzu 4LE1. The 8 ton HVAC unit is a scrap job on mine. The army guys let the refrigerant out the old fashioned way and it...

Hopefully the credit card stays in wallet but I wouldn't bet on it. I'm hoping this goes well. Also got gladhand and a change of underwear.

Ok so I'm going to attempt my first recovery of my new (to me) M923A2. I was considering having it hauled but I think I'm going to try the drive. I've been reading threads on here like crazy. Anyone have any pointers for me? Planning to bring tools, fluids, new fuel filter, diesel treatment...
