Forgot to mention, i'm working on an M923 A1 Cummins 250. Woops.

Patriot, what ended up being your result? Just to clarify, did you have coolant/water in your oil immediately after you replaced your oil cooler, or was there some delay? I've got a very similar problem (water/dawn soap in oil) but oil contamination didn't occur until app. 50-60 miles AFTER my...

10 4 thanks.

I just wanted to make sure I do this correctly the first time.. Would like to post a listing for transportation services. Have a 40' flatbed trailer and truck. Do I need to upgrade my membership to do this? Also, would this be best posted in the Classifieds - For Sale ? Thanks.

Sorry about the delayed update, yes I did finally get them on there. Ended up pulling the driveshaft and drum completely off the truck and then re-installed the whole assembly. The only explanation I can come up with is that for some strange reason, the crossmember behind the parking brake drum...

I bought new shoes, so there shouldn't be any issue with the surface under the linings. When I removed the old shoes, I removed the main pin at the bottom (large bolt & nut), springs, e-brake cable, etc., and I was able to rotate the whole assembly around the drum clockwise to the bottom where I...

Wildchild, thanks for the quick response. The specific problem that I am having is being able to re-install the inner & outer shoe assembly. With the thickness of the new brake linings, there just doesnt seem to be room enough to slide them over/under the drum and then spin the assembly up to...

M35A3 parking brake shoes. Old assembly removed without difficulty, but I seem to be unable to re-install the new shoe assembly on the drum. I hope that im missing something obvious here, but i've been scratching my head and searching posts for awhile with no luck so far. I was unable to locate...

I am trying to find a "wet line" setup for an M923 for plow/spreader application with no luck so far. My understanding is that the tranny mounted pto/pump used for the winch is not designed for sustained high rpm applications and will not last. What I need is a pump capable of app. 18gpm @...

M16ty,curious about your spreader setup. Am I understanding you correctly as having a " wet line setup "with a stock winch pump ? Looking to install a hydraulic salt spreader with similar flow and pressure requirements on my 5 ton, but I am concerned about overspeeding the hydraulic pump when...

DRT= Dead Right There (FYI). A3 died while driving. Severe power loss, eventual stall - wouldn't restart. No fuel. Will run/sputter on ether. My assumption was a clogged check valve (top of fuel tank). I've had that happen in the past. Same exact symptoms. No dice. Check valve was clean and...

Leesburg, VA here. Will travel for fun.

WOW ! Thats quite a ride, glad no one was seriously hurt. Just out of curiosity, how fast was the driver going when it blew ? Have never had a blowout on an A3 (knock on wood), but it doesn't look like fun. I think we can all take a lesson from this incident: to be CAREFUL and lets never forget...

Love the truck! If you have any, i'd be very interested to see photos of the bracketry you used to mount bars to the axle. I recently bought an M923 and will be putting a plow on it this spring. I fabricated a rack for a 10' plow on my deuce a couple years ago and went back and up to the frame...

Don't know what happened with the spacing - didn't like the font change I guess. Sorry bout that.

Thought I'd share a seeminglyunusual problem and it's fix I discovered on my A3 steering system. Symptom:Truck felt as though there were detents in the steering box, for lack of abetter way to describe it. Most noticeable while turning the wheel at speed(over 20-25mph) - tight spots in the...

What did you give for those LED headlights and where did you get them from if you don't mind my asking, Buddah ?

Update on DOA 701A / 016E: It's ALIVE ! (Note: Unit running precisely 2 hours AFTER the power came on:evil:). Oh well, at least it's running. Confirmed bad fuel pump with a couple jumper wires. Swapped in aux fuel pump, bled it out and she fired right up. Ran it for about 10 min or so just to...

I've had to delay working on the genny so far today. Hopefully will be able to get to it later this PM. Power still out. I'm beginning to lose my sense of humor after 7 days...

ETN550 & Derf - many thanks for the quick and useful replies. I'll swap the pumps in the AM and see what happens. I'm quite a bit more clear on the differences between the B and E now. As is usual for me, I was likely thinking too far into it. I'll let you know tomorrow how it works out.
