    front axle engagement cylinder part number

    Just an update to help anyone else having issues. Mine wouldn't engage the front axle and was blowing air into the T-case. After taking it apart I found that the piston was installed backwards. Works perfect now. I love easy and free fixes!

    Dead Transmission on M923A1

    I understand that either can be used in the transmission. I'm just trying to understand how they won't mix and how they would cause damage to the clutches.

    Dead Transmission on M923A1

    How would Dex and 10W not mix? I've never heard that before. Dex should have a similar viscosity as 10w and both are "oils" so I don't see why this would cause harm.

    Dead Transmission on M923A1

    Why would having the 10 weight and the dex mixing cause a complete failure?

    Missing First gear on M817

    It's actually very easy to pull the tranny. I used a 2 ton shop crane through the driver door with a chain hoist attached to it. Once loose, start letting chain out until it's on the floor. I had a movers dolly under the truck to catch it, roll the old out and new in.

    M54A2 VS. M35A2 (winter driving)

    I didn't bypass my FDC but I only run clean diesel for the longevity of the engine, but I like to keep my options open. ..

    M54A2 VS. M35A2 (winter driving)

    I love my '69 M54A2. It's main advantage over the deuce is power steering! It can also run 53's stock.

    Towbar Y feet (3/4 in and 1 in feet) Safety

    Does anyone have pics of how they milled it?

    Towbar Y feet (3/4 in and 1 in feet) Safety

    Has anyone milled these down to fit a medium bar and actually used them? I really don't think it would be an issue but it never hurts to check.

    Tow bar feet modifications

    Thanks for the heads up! I didn't think to look in safety. They never really came to a conclusion either, time to bump that one.

    Tow bar feet modifications

    Would there be an issue with machining these down to fit a standard medium tow bar? I like the fact that they are 2 in 1.

    Believed Tire Problems

    I run HEMTT rims, no clearance issues at all. I hear the standard 5 ton rims will rub in the front with 16.00R20s

    front axle engagement cylinder part number

    I have not taken it apart yet, I was going to collect the repair parts first. I suppose I could take it apart and go to the local hydraulic supply house and get new orings there.

    Did you ever find a source for this? I'm looking for the same part.

    Electric Winch Install

    I have the 18K warn on my m923 and love it! I've used it to pull vehicles out of ditches and my truck when I got stuck in a snow filled ditch. It works great and is far easier to use than the hydraulic unit. If your doing lots of recovery, the hydraulic winch is probably the way to go. If...

    Believed Tire Problems

    I run 16.00r20 XZL's on my 923 and they are a far more superior tire than the 11.00R20 goodyear G177's they replaced. No balance beads, weights or anything else, they run just fine.

    Allison shifting problem, 3rd gear.

    Update It was the "trimmer valve". If anyone else experiences the same issues, this is probably the culprit. I pulled the valve body and with the help of the Allison manual, figured it out and fixed it. Parts required were a baldwin filter kit and a trimmer valve assembly from ebay. About...
