    395 tires on stock m813 rims ?

    Good question. I have a m923 with stock wheels and want to run 1400-20's and wondered if I could use my wheels.

    M923 Spring brake overide

    Thanks. That is exactly what I needed to know about the t-case. Anyone know how to test the interlock solenoid or where to buy one ? Do these trucks have any fuses? If so where are they ?

    M923 Spring brake overide

    I have a couple of questions. First what is the function of the spring brake override valve in the cab and , when should it be used ? The other question I have is when my truck is running and the air tanks are completely charged you can't shift the transfer case into low range even if you hold...

    Allison Transmission in M923A1

    My c-bearing kind moves if I use a bar but I think it is just the rubber part of it moving. I took the front drive shaft off earlier just to see if that was the trouble but it wouldn't. I love my deuce. It is by far my favorite truck I own.

    Allison Transmission in M923A1

    My truck only made the noise when I drove it. I ordered my parts today and I pray this was the only problem. I will let you all know. Let us know if you find out exactly what your trouble is.

    When do you hate your 5 ton !

    I love both of my trucks but, just as soon as I fix one thing on my 5 ton something else seems to go wrong.

    Allison Transmission in M923A1

    I tore down the passenger side and the only bad thing I found was the spindle bushing. It was wore paper thin , mushroomed out , and was breaking off. I'm going to order one in the morning . When I put this back together I hope this does it. Not ever having done it , how hard is it to replace...

    Allison Transmission in M923A1

    Memphis equipment has Rezeppa type replacement axle shafts. Is this the style that is for a M923 ?

    Allison Transmission in M923A1

    Can the CV joint be replaced by itself?

    Allison Transmission in M923A1

    As of now it appears to be the passenger side . When I took the hub off there was metal dust and 1 or 2 small metal fragments coming out of the hub. The wheel bearings are fine . How hard is it to replace the axle ?

    I will let you know what I find when I dig a little deeper in the front end.

    Allison Transmission in M923A1

    Well I pulled the front axle covers off today and drove the truck. Ahhh no noises or problems. Put them back on and 1/4 mile later theres the noise again. Now I know where to start next.

    Allison Transmission in M923A1

    I hadn't thought of that. I will try that before I call my other brother as I do like him somewhat better. Thanks for the idea."..

    Allison Transmission in M923A1

    I strapped my brother under mine and tried that. Drove around a while heard the noise, felt a bump, and came home . I still don't know what the noise is and haven't seen my bro. This weekend I am going to pull the axles and run it up that way and put dad under the truck to listen. I will let you...

    Allison Transmission in M923A1

    I removed my front drive shaft thinking the same thing. This didnt help anything where the noise is concerned. Changing the carrier isn't so bad. After you drop the drive shaft remove the center u joint, take the jam nut off holding the yoke on, then beat the c-bearing off an replace with a new...

    Allison Transmission in M923A1

    The noise in mine also stops when the truck almost comes to a complete stop. It does seem to be coming from the transfer case. I drained the tease quite a bit and refilled with a gallon of Lucas. This made it not do it as much or as loud . When this starts in my truck you have to just about stop...

    Allison Transmission in M923A1

    This started after I made 430 miles of a 550 mile trip home. I ended up towing mine on home till I could find the cause of this.

    Allison Transmission in M923A1

    My truck is making the same noise. It is about to drive me nuts trying to find exactly what it is . I did try the manual shifting just last night while trying to find the problem . Mine still made the noise. The weird thing is it doesn't make the noise consistently or continuously. when this...

    Water pump question

    I checked the tranny and the crankcase oil and they appeared normal . While reinstalling a radiator hose the residue in the hose was the same dark color of the grease. I gave it maybe 4 pumps from a hand unit. I first thought oil cooler then I remembered doing this stupid stunt of maybe putting...

    Water pump question

    I have a M923 with a NHC-250. The water pump has a grease fitting on it. I had a moment of stupid hit me while I was greasing the truck and greased it without first checking what grease to put in it. A few days later found the antifreese was milky . Could the grease have gotten into the into the...
