    back-up camera

    I got mine off of Ebay for less than 100$ and it has worked great since last Summer. It has a 7 inch screen and is basically a night vision camera or is very sensitive to light to where it works great at night. Just do a search for 24V 7 inch backup camera and the same one will come up for the...

    Looking Front bull bar fab ideas

    The problem is, the hood does not open enough to pull a radiator out...which is what I had to do back in the Winter with mine and used a crane truck to lift it straight up and out. These guys must have did that kind of work before they added the brushgaurd IMO lol.

    Looking Front bull bar fab ideas

    These are my two favorite Brush gaurds I have ever saw for a heavy truck..other than the one that was on the M939 car rammer truck that was in Iraq and a model toy truck was made out of it....I can't find the pic of it. IF someone could make one of these to where the top half would unhinge...

    M923a2 clanking grinding noise from under cab? Transfer case or U joint?

    Yep, I've decided that taking an oil sample and disconnecting the front drive shaft should yield some indication as to what my problem is exactly. I'll update once I figure out what the culprit is.

    Bigboy down again,M923 won't build air past 59psi

    I had a similar problem except mine would not build past 40PSI and that much air was not coming out of my intake like yours. For me, I trouble shooted till I could not stand the truck anymore. I had just replaced the air dryer a few months before and also replaced the governor, plus capped the...

    M923a2 clanking grinding noise from under cab? Transfer case or U joint?

    Thanks for the advice. It does go in and out of low just fine and driving in low range did not make a difference with regards to the noise. Did your U joints show visual wear from the racket?....A drive line shop here told me last week that the shafts and joints were in great shape...so I left...

    M923a2 clanking grinding noise from under cab? Transfer case or U joint?

    lol yep already replaced transmission with a new one in February. I was hoping that would make a difference to know avail.

    M923a2 clanking grinding noise from under cab? Transfer case or U joint?

    Well, we replaced the transmission and it really didn't make a difference with that particular noise. I know it's hard to tell by listening to the video, but we have figured out that the noise is definitely coming from the drive line between the transfer case and shafts....not as far forward as...

    M923a2 clanking grinding noise from under cab? Transfer case or U joint?

    hmmmm, I will probably try that. Are you saying that your front drive shaft would make a worse noise when under acceleration just like mine?

    M923a2 clanking grinding noise from under cab? Transfer case or U joint?

    Considering that this truck had this noise coming and going from the time I picked it up after the supposed fresh rebuild 4 years earlier that all Frankencabs models and others definitely had, I am surprised no one else has chimed in about hearing this sound in another truck. Really? no one has...

    M923a2 clanking grinding noise from under cab? Transfer case or U joint?

    We checked the U joints and they are tight with applied force by Human hands...no play....they seem to be in really good shape. Also can not find any evidence of any rubbing happening on the T case or tranny. Rear ends are great and no carrier bearings on these trucks...not like the A1. The...

    M923a2 clanking grinding noise from under cab? Transfer case or U joint?

    I finally got a chance to take some videos with my new phone that have good audio so I posted them on Youtube. The truck has been making this clanking grinding noise that does not really start until after driving the truck around for a good 10 minutes which tells me it probably has to do with...

    M923A2 transfer case front output question.

    So, I think I might have the same problem as you. Can you verify if this is what your truck is doing. Mine will get worse with the truck warms up. It takes about ten mins of driving around before it will start doing and it gets worse with time and the more you drive it. I posted 3 videos today...

    Just discovered New Air dryer not working and Compressor runs non stop on M923A2

    I strarted the truck today and it will only build to 120 PSI now after sitting overnight and the air dryer will not sneeze now. Also, there is a steady stream of air coming out of the bottom of the air dryer now...I think maybe it's the expello valve. Here is a pic

    Just discovered New Air dryer not working and Compressor runs non stop on M923A2

    It's definitely a tough one to figure out for sure One thing I should have mentioned earlier is that after installing the new PPV.... the air dryer didn't even start sneezing until after I drove it around for about 30 mins. It also didn't start building up to 150 from 120 until the air dryer...

    Just discovered New Air dryer not working and Compressor runs non stop on M923A2

    Supposedly the lines are in the correct places because I even had a certified heavy truck mechanic who installed my Transmission back in January look at it and he said everything looked like it was hooked up correctly.

    Just discovered New Air dryer not working and Compressor runs non stop on M923A2

    Yep, you are right..I meant the pressure relief valve was releasing air before. THe air is now coming from the air dryer oddly though...I checked it....and I can feel the air coming from the air dryer expello valve. I'm baffled big time. I mean, why would it now build air to 150 PSI from just...

    Just discovered New Air dryer not working and Compressor runs non stop on M923A2

    Well, I started the truck today and the ABS light went off within 5 seconds and apparently it was the batteries being a little low as fellow member Swampdonkey informed me could cause that issue with the light. I guess it really was a coincidence in this case. Also, I took the truck out on the...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I installed new LED side clearance lights from Riverside MFG on the Frankencab now making all of the lights on the truck LED. They are even brighter than what I expected.
