What about some dummy manually fooling with the governor/rack and causing the engine to overrev and float the valves causing damage?

I switched to oreilly's premium transhydraulic oil on all 3 of my keeper trucks, and they instantly started shifting smoother. It is 10 weight, and C4 rated. I unhooked my cooler hoses, removed the trans pan, and blew compressed air thru the cooler lines. Close enough to a full flush for me...

As 71deuceAK stated this would be the best way to create clearance for tires. Add 1 or 2 additional boards under the bed. I have also heard that exchanging the stock bed for a marine ISO bed gives additional clearance because an ISO bed sits taller on the truck. ISO beds are as rare as...

This is Weeds, the M923A0 with no mods to the truck. Tires are 16.00r20 on Hemtt rims. Tires will just touch the bed in the back at max articulation, with no load. Bed is not bent or deformed in any way after tires have contacted it. If the truck had weight in the bed compressing the...

20-13.5= 6.5% difference between 14.00 and 16.00 if my math is correct.

If anyone that reads this forum doubts you, they need to read a little more and then they will see what a helpful and wonderful source of information you are. Thank you for the many posts and advice given to me, when I purchased my first MEP-802A generator.

Your oil pressure readings are spot on. Read the large metal tag on the inside of the control panel cover. When starting the 802a, hold the start switch in the crank position until the oil pressure comes up to 30-40 lbs. on the gauge.

How do you beat him? Get a big stick and clobber the engineer, preferably in the cranial area. When finished, do not leave the big stick behind and drive away in hmmwv. Don't forget to air your tires back up.......

Approx. 2 years ago, I added 16.00r20 hemtt tires/rims to my M923A0 truck aka "Weeds". Doing so caused my speedometer to read 50 mph indicated, when in reality the ground speed is 60 mph, verified via Garmin GPS. I went from a 41.25" tall tire(stock G177 duals) to a 51.00" tall super single...

All of the above is good advice. First of all it is a 24 volt system. Get yourself a volt meter. Wear gloves and eye protection. Do not breathe the dust in the battery box. Batteries are dangerous and can explode when under load, or if there is a loose connection/short in the connections...

Looked up the specs on summit racing for the autometer 2690. diameter of instrument: 3 3/8". Input is 5/8"-18 threaded adapter with .104" square drive. I looked at a Stewart Warner speedometer I have out of a M939 5 ton, it measures 3 3/8" in diameter, has 5/8" thread input on the...

won't work, wrong color.

Today I spent time finding a speedometer ratio adapter to correct our trucks MPH reading after adding 14.00 or 16.00 tires to them. Currently waiting on parts for the adapter box, our trucks have a different key tang diameter that drives the speedo cable. Will be starting a specific thread on...

There are lots of good folks here that are willing to help. Some give advice. Some help you spend your cashola. Some help you pick out trucks at GP and then dare you to bid on another one while picking the first one up. Others come over and swipe your supply of rapco383, and them bust your...

Added wiring and switch for back up lights today on my M923. Used international part # 416372C1 as Suprman suggested. (See picture) Switch port location is just forward of the trans data plate approx. 2 inches, level in height with the tag(passenger side of trans). Required a 7/16" wrench...

I saw the idea on a YouTube video. A guy used index cards, and tire shine manually applied(no spray application) to paint some crown vic rims. He did not use tape. If you use my method DO NOT move the truck after getting the index cards taped on, they will pop out of the bead area as the tire...

Painted Weed's rims today. Wanted to do this for a year or so, the wife is gone for the weekend so I'm messing with the 5 tons. Love that Rapco paint. Used painter's tape and index cards to keep the paint off of the rubber. Worked Excellent!!

place the transfer case in neutral, wheels chocked of course, so the driveshaft will spin freely, then you can rotate it to get the zerk in the position that you want it.

I put mine in neutral on the transfer case shift selector and rotate it. Have not removed a bolt, but that is an excellent idea. I would like to find some grade 8 bolts with a 12 point head, upon which the head is tapered and smaller, thus giving clearance for the grease gun tip.
