    MT654cr transmission replacement in"Joe" the 5 ton M923a1

    Also forgot to ask how to properly disconnect the transmission modulator cable at the transmission end. Would like to leave the cable on the truck and attached at the IP end for convenience. Do you remove the screws in the round can on the transmission end of the cable, and unhook the cable...

    MT654cr transmission replacement in"Joe" the 5 ton M923a1

    Ok, so I finally got started today removing my bad transmission in Joe, my first M923 that I purchased in 2014. Joe is a 1990 M923A1 with NHC-250 engine. Got everything unbolted except the 2 back bolts that secure the trans to the rear upper mount. Took about 6 hours to get everything...

    MT654CR numbers?

    Interested in this very topic as well. Rumor has it the torque converters are different, each engine having it's own unique converter made to match the torque curve of the engine. I am currently replacing my transmission in a M923 with NHC-250 engine, and have 3 trans to choose from. Hope one...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I had trouble with the truck puking coolant after rebuilding the radiator. Engine is a nhc250. Shutterstat was slowly pressurizing the coolant system and causing seeps at the hose clamps, and loss of coolant. I replaced the Shutterstat with a new one.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Replaced the shutterstat today on one of my M923. Fixed my pressure issue in my cooling system. Very easy repair and well worth the price of admission. Planning on starting the replacement of my transmission in another M923, the very first one I purchased in 2014. Anyone local have a...

    Charging issue/ mechanic needed around bunnel fl

    The next time a MV does this(meaning regulator failure, causing overvolt condition) stop on the side of the road and remove your alternator belts. Then proceed to a safe place to repair your truck, and find parts. A truck will run for a very long time on 4 good batteries, with no alternator...

    Cololant Additive, Filter Typel, and Water Flow Question

    I am interested in the correct routing of a coolant filter for the nhc250 as well. I do not believe the heater hoses are the best place. Would be nice to have a pressure(hot) hose for the inlet, and a (cool) suction hose for the exit. Maybe wil wagner will chime in on this thread.

    Rear axle leak

    porkysplace beat me to it, remove each axle vent, soak and clean with compressed air. if they are stopped up, the axle will vent elsewhere like you are seeing. And that is a small seep, clean it with brake cleaner and drive the truck at least once per week to keep the seals wet.

    Is this a starter solenoid? Clicks but no power to starter.

    Shouldn't someone be advising these people that if you are going to be trying to start your truck from under the hood, and NOT in the driver's seat, That this is unsafe and possibly deadly. Please make sure your truck is in neutral, parking brake set, or wheels chocked, and proceed with extreme...

    M939 transmission problem

    Have you checked the little governor filter, located at the back bottom of the trans directly below the output shaft? It is behind a large cap nut, 15/16" or 1" maybe. Filter is the size of a thimble, stainless screen mesh.

    M1082 Trailer Help/knowledge

    This series of trailer has a box on it that will accept a military 12 pin plug, or a civvy standard 7 pin plug. And the LED lights will work with 12 volt or 24 volt. My trailer was delivered to me with the brakes caged, and is still that way due to the seller in Maryland not disclosing the...

    Fuel shut off

    PM me your phone number, and I will send you several pics of the 855 cummins solenoid when it is daylight tomorrow.

    Fuel shut off

    Override screw on the electric solenoid may be turned in to the right, holding the electric solenoid open, thus not allowing it to shut the truck down via electric shut off in the cab.
