    Failsafe Warning Controller

    Thanks for the feedback. I knew it had to be somewhere up there. I am chasing a constantly buzzing low air warning indicator. I have checked all other components but the Failsafe warning Control Module and accompanying wires. I will do so this weekend and report my results. Thank you @Artisan...

    Failsafe Warning Controller

    I know this is a stupid question but I can't seem to locate the controller in the truck or in the TM's. Where is it?

    M923 MWO Identification

    I recently purchased a truck rebuilt by RRAD. I contacted RRAD to get info on where my truck came from and any other info on what was done to it. They couldnt tell me where it was stationed but they did have the rebuild records for my truck. They stripped the entire truck to the frame and...

    Converting a 923 over from motor oil in the Allison to transmission fluid.

    [PS: Come and visit us in Nevada City Montana and take a ride. It is one heck of a trip, 14 miles, about 6 of which will feel like they are straight up. 8500 feet in elevation right to the foot of a mountain and through more than a dozen mines and 5 old towns. I can no longer offer camping at...

    M923A2 Headlight Problem

    I am also having a headlight issue. Only one of my headlights works on low beam. Both work on high beam. I purchased a used replacement lamp but still have the same issue. I used a test light to ensure I am getting power all the way to the connections, and I am. Could it be possible I got...

    923 Harsh Shift from 1st to 2nd

    I believe the shift would be considered harsh by anyones standard. It really kicks good when going from first to second. The whole truck shutters. The downshifts have not been nearly as harsh as I expected from talking to other 939 owners. Im wondering if running a higher viscosity oil in the...

    Hello All, My truck shift quite harshly from 1st to 2nd when trans is up to temp. Shifts smooth when cold and gets harsher as it warms up. Any ideas for smoothing out the shift? Its running motor oil. Thanks.

    Air Leak Woes

    After performing some troubleshooting this weekend I was able to isolate the issue is with the treadle valve. When the system is pressurized there is a steady flow of air coming through the secondary side of the valve and exhausting through the line going straight to the stack. I will order a...
