Do you even have the engine running yet? You can't even hold the rocker arms down, and you want to feed it wash fluid already? Sweet! Don't forget the pics.....

Anything a pickup truck can pull, can be stopped on a dime by an M939 truck and give 9 cents change, even without a brake connection. This is separate from legality, but the braking force of an M939 is pretty dam strong. I think you are trying to cross 2 separate categories, which is why it...

Simp's advice is sound step 1. The fault code light will illuminate if the fuse is blown, by design. ABS voltage diode on PCB board usually damaged from improper vehicle shut-down switch order. Alternator loses reference voltage, over-volts, and wipes out the ABS circuit board. This is...

It is not just the amps, it is the total power that will make heat, so voltage included. Watts total. My signature is a side business, I do automotive and heavy duty starters and alternators for a living, but I don’t know everything. We currently have 82% of the new truck market for heavy...

Buddy did a universal under-dash kit in his M923a2 for $500 complete and loves it. Compact and works great. Available in 24v. I don’t like the Humvee evaporator because you essentially lose your back window and center seat. Can’t post links, but I just checked eBay and there is a universal...

If you have updated your alternator to a modern unit, then by all rights let the alternator do its job and charge at an above-idle condition. A few points on this subject: 1. The stock alternator usually dies trying to charge dead batteries because of low cooling airflow at idle, combined with...

That’s sub-category of fixed. Tell his (and your) wife I’ll give him $3k for it.

It is deliberately thin with minimal cross supports. This is so it can flex and keep all 6 wheels in driving contact with the ground at nearly all times. I drove over a car, and with my driver side front wheel atop the roof, the cab sat at a crazy angle, yet all 4 rears were still on the...

Mine’s longer...

This happens around Detroit all the time. The Japanese I work with just call them “Day cars”.

Just tow it to his house and drop it in his wife’s parking spot. It’ll get fixed.

If you are caught in this situation totally tool-less with an a2 (8.3L), you can mostly accomplish the same thing by spinning the small engine mounted fuel filter loose, and using that to bleed the prime air out. Same thing though, crack it free, depress and hold the prime button, then tighten...

You're a Ford guy? Ugh....we need to talk about our friendship.

Bro, the blue lettering is painful to read. I assume from your pic you have an a2 series M923. If so, here is your procedure: Be sure you have the square washer on the top bolt of the filter canister seated correctly. Rubber side down, and square aligned with square in filter housing. Bolt...

Yeah, the 250 motor blows. Ha, just kidding, but onto the good stuff: If the SCA level in the coolant is not maintained, corrosion and cavitation can occur, both of which cause pitting to the outside of the cylinder liners, to the point it is weakened and punches through.

Basically yes.

If you hear no solenoid clicking, then it is waiting for system air pressure to reach 100psi. As the sensors age, this slips. Set your truck air pressure to 120psi, and try it. Most of these truck will not be able keep up with filling at an idle, bit will do it quickly at speed.

Sounds like the dash power solenoid in your PCB is tired. Common at this age. Flip the battery switch several times on-off-on before starting to see if it clears up. If so, that is likely it. Battery voltage should be 12.8v each or close, even 12.0V is only 20% charged. Don't quantify their...
