    '94 923A2 Fuel Issues

    So, you guys are right about the flare fitting sitting out there by itself. Apparently, someone put a remote fuel filter in the fenderwell, and replaced that line with rubber back to some sort of coupler attached to the frame (heading back towards the fuel tank). So it looks like in order to...

    '94 923A2 Fuel Issues

    So, I don't need to replace the vent lines, just the fuel pickup line, right? The fuel return line is pressurized, so if there was a leak there, it would drip, right? (and not be a problem, right?)

    '94 923A2 Fuel Issues

    What are all the white (green painted) plastic lines coming off of top of the fuel tank? Are they vents? or other pick ups for when the truck is at extreme angles? Also, there is this flared connector under the driver that goes into the frame, but isn't attached to anything- and it is right...

    '94 923A2 Fuel Issues

    Not knowing hardly anything about diesels, will common rubber gas fuel line work? or do I need something specific?

    '94 923A2 Fuel Issues

    So probably the best way to resolve this is either to replace all the fuel lines, or to (perhaps) do something that pressurizes the fuel line, rather than having it work from a vacuum? Like some sort of electric fuel pump? A pinhole leak can be ANYWHERE.

    '94 923A2 Fuel Issues

    We recently picked up a "new" to us, M923A2 that had 6000 miles on it since its rebuild. For the first couple of months, it ran great, but now we are having fuel issues. One day it ran great, the next we couldn't get it to start, it just cranked and cranked. We replaced the fuel pump and bled...

    I want to take off the CTIS on my newly purchased 1990 M923A2

    The guys at "Those Military Guys" will set you up. Their kit is pretty extensive.... I am pretty embarrased, as they helped me out and I offered my CTIS as payment and I haven't sent it to them yet. I still need to get the neighbors to help me take the CTIS off our neighborhood 6x6 fire truck...

    I want to take off the CTIS on my newly purchased 1990 M923A2

    Thank you for that........ I guess I will be replacing some O rings, either way. Do you know if the CTIS came only with the buttons and no display? If it is all there, maybe I will take a stab at getting it working. if it isn't all there, then I will just plug the ports, replace the O rings...

    I want to take off the CTIS on my newly purchased 1990 M923A2

    I am looking at the troubleshooting manual for the CTIS and it shows more displays than I have in my truck. All I have is 5 buttons that flash- nothing else. It looks like there was once something mounted on the dash. Do I have the whole system, or is it missing parts? The DANA troubleshooting...

    I want to take off the CTIS on my newly purchased 1990 M923A2

    OK, I check it one more time. I plugged in the CTIS unit and started the truck and the truck's CTIS buttons usually immediately all start flashing, but when I pushed the "run flat" button, it started flashing along with the highway button. I started thinking "all right...". I walked around the...

    My "new" M923A2 is sitting in the driveway

    OK guys, I am reading the manuals and it says to bleed the in the "after" interval. My assumption is that you do that after each trip. In my situation, a "trip" is less than a mile or two. Do I bleed the air brakes everytime I turn the truck on? Or just after I travel for a certain distance?

    My "new" M923A2 is sitting in the driveway

    Ke5eua- so you actually "worked" in one of these things? Is one of the criteria for being a driver, you being no taller than 6'2"? I barely fit in that thing and I cannot imagine going any distance driving in it. Why didn't they make the cab just a little bit bigger? What a rattle trap. Did they...

    My "new" M923A2 is sitting in the driveway

    I have a massive thunderhead parked above my property.... the truck is gassed up, filled up with water and I am waiting for any local lightning strikes. Something about our neighborhood and it's ability to "collect" lightning strikes. Bone dry brush and a drought to boot.... this could be an...

    My "new" M923A2 is sitting in the driveway

    Oh boy, more sleepy time reading. Actually I did learn something really pertinent on this site.... apparently it is not a good thing to have a full load on it and be in all wheel drive and try to back up a hill. Apparently a lot of not so good things can happen. Is there any thread on this site...

    My "new" M923A2 is sitting in the driveway

    Thanks for that, yeah those were the first things I have downloaded from the site. I guess I ought to sit down and read them now. Thanks for the reminder.

    My "new" M923A2 is sitting in the driveway

    The neighbors and I thought that the 5 ton would be BAD A** and I did a bunch of research on them and looked at the dozens and dozens of them on google images. So we felt pretty good about it. I read the webpage Roscommon Equipment Center and they pretty much said to keep the tank less than...

    My apologies if anyone thought that I was being a wise ass. Not my intent. I am sorry for any misunderstanding.

    My "new" M923A2 is sitting in the driveway

    Oh, I get it.... you thought that I was calling you a dumb*ss....... .no.... I was calling myself the dumb guy.... in a self-deprecating way. I'm not here to pick fights with anyone. I guess I need to re-read my posts clearer, as everyone thinks I am attacking them. I was joking...saying I WAS...
