I bought a 1987 m998 a few years back--It was sitting around for 5 years--It looked kind of good when I got it--started and almost drove--I put $5000 dollars into it in just parts--now it is a great driver on the 4 days a year I drive it---so it only cost me $333 per foot to repair it {15 feet...
Suprman,I find many of the trucks ** m923-a1-a2} have bad fuel lines--they suck air--have you replaced many of these and do you make up your own hoses--
The blow-by seems to be oil vapor with small beads of oil--dip stick is the same--small beads of oil being pushed out with oil vapor--no antifreeze smell--no water vapor seem on a mirror as per Patracy--at start up there is no blowby--takes 10 min of running time--antifreeze is dark and smells...
I listened and there was no pulsing from the intake stack--there was not fogging on a mirror placed over the oil cap hole or at the blow-by tube --I know you guys are correct--ring or cylinder damage--I ran another 8.3 today and had no blow-by at the oil dip stick and very little smoke at the...
I did not hear the fan engage --on returning the engine idled for 5 minuets--then I removed the coolant cap and there was no excessive pressure and the coolant was the same level as before the run---no popping or pulse from the exhaust--I will get up a video with sound of the exhaust tomorrow
The temp stayed steady normal-- center of gauge--coolant level remained steady--old coolant smelled burnt and looked dark--no extra pressure under rad cap--truck may have sat for years at the base--first hot run--no oil in coolant/no foam on oil stick--oil still clean--what could i video to give...
I have an 8.3 in a m923a2--I took it out today for the first time since I got it--oil level was good with clean oil--had to add 1 gallon antifreeze--everything looked good--after 2 hour 45mph ride there was alot of blow-by at the slobber tube and the oil dip stick--also had a nice oil drip out...
Good you got it fixed--past summer I had an alt. putting out 30 volts--bought the same regulator for $60-- back in business--I did not know the regulator could 0 out the voltage when bad
Brad--how much did the new alt cost--also, when you measure the ohms at pin D it is sometimes necessary to consume large amounts of beer before the alt kicks in--
I have 2 M923a2s that have sat since March and now the brakes are locked and the system does not seem to get air pressure-- both trucks operated ok when parked--The air gauges both reach 100lbs plus--the low air buzzer is sounding and the brakes remain locked up--The hand brake does not...
