Sweet :)

Oh yeah.. Going for a drive in a 5 ton makes you forget about all the other "stuff" you have to deal with when you own one. Makes it all worthwhile 8):driver:

"Modertator?" I've never heard of that job, but it sounds pretty cool ;)

Congrats to mdemars03 and twisted60.. They are now members of the M939-series family 8-) :naner:

Yeah I added a 7 gallon Manchester tank on top of my rear toolbox. It is painted to match the truck, and I think it looks pretty good.. Very industrial. Now that I was able to get the plug out of the air tank on the truck, I piped everything in. Everything between the factory air tank and my air...

Of course. Before I hit it with the torch, I made sure the truck was 100% drained, and I left the valves open.

UPDATE: I fail.... lol. So I decided to bite the bullet and hit the plug with my MAP torch. After only about 15 seconds worth of heat, it came out easily with a hand allen key. The fail part came in when I looked at the plug after it came out.. It's 1/2" NPT, like all my other fittings :doh: It...

As part of my ongoing project to add an additional air tank for my 1" impact gun, I ran across a slight problem. While looking for a place to "tee" in for the air line, I found an unused port on my lower air tank. Problem is, the plug is stuck in there solid after 24 years of not being moved. I...

Sweet.. I had no idea there was also an oil heater available for this engine. I went ahead and ordered the 1000w Kats heater.. I will get it installed soon. I'll see how things go this Winter, and then determine if I need to do anything additional for the next one. Glad to hear the 8.3 is...

Yup. CTIS is pretty cool when it works properly. Plus you can't beat getting twice as many miles per gallon with the A2's ;)

Anyone have a picture of that MRAP bumper on a non-winch truck? ;)

I second the A2 idea [thumbzup] Love mine :naner: Hope to welcome you to the M939 family soon :)

Yeah.. I'm thinking the freeze plug version is the way to go. Need to get it done soon.. Temps are already in the 40's here at night, and we occasionally have our first snow before Halloween. Make sure you put up a YouTube video or pictures here when you and your little buddy install the...

Thank you. I will need to look at that one. I swear I kept seeing heaters in the 600-750w range, but maybe they were for smaller Cummins diesels. So just one should be good.

:( Well.. At least you know what the problem is now.

So after doing a few searches regarding block heaters, I have a few questions. First, it seems like there was a bad run of the freeze plug type heaters (people kept having them burn out quickly.) Has that issue been resolved? Also, are there any brands to avoid, or are they all made by the same...

eh... Just don't come to Illinois. Federal regulation or not, nothing over 13' 6" here (unless it's some massive oversized load, but they usually take those down normal roads and move power lines, etc.) I know because I took the written test for the C license recently. 13'6" is still in the code...

Well.. If the one's I mentioned aren't strictly electric, then I guess they are out for me. How about a 24v to 120v inverter running a standard indoor house heater?

Hey... You made it back in one piece. That's all that matters :)

What about something like these? Seems like they have good output.. the first one would probably be sufficient, and the price is excellent. Second one has more than twice the heat output, but is also more than two times as expensive. ------------ ------------ Question is, how do these work...
