I haven't gotten back around to messing with it. Transfer case seems super stiff, even aired down.. so I sprayed all the linkages and am letting it sit. Next step might be to remove the inspection cover and take a peek inside.
I'm gonna be testing the switch as well to see if it's stuck in...
This is (was?) Wes's ride....
M109 box mated to an M931... It's doable..
Finding an M931A2, that's for sale.... is another issue altogether... I think I've seen less than a dozen for sale in past 5 or so years, and the most recent one I saw was north of $20K.. They were made in very few...
NHC250 is old, and while parts are still available at Cummins dealers, there aren't that many people trained to work on them anymore.
You can get more power out of an 8.3, easier.
The 8.3 is quieter, and gets better mileage.
I went from an M934 with NHC250, to an M923 with 8.3L... for the...
Air burst nukes could easily generate an EMP that could impact large swaths of the country. It wouldn't need to be a ground effect detonation.
There are published articles on effects from test of things like STARFISH PRIME...
The cost difference is negligible to me.
1. Can I run 75W90 instead of 80W90 in TC and diffs?
2. Will I see any benefit using a synthetic instead of dino?
My experience with passenger vehicle diffs is a LOT different than heavy machinery... The 8.8 in my fords can take 75w90, 80w90, all the...
So, picked up my truck at auction... Got a good deal knowing it was a gamble... and .... here.... we... go...!
So, couple small issues.
Air leaks down pretty quick. I will have to put shop air on it and spray all fittings with soapy water. Pretty easy way to diagnose.
Also sounds like there...
They're not. They don't chase. They don't issue tickets.
Literally, all the criminals and tweakers have taken off their license plate or display a fictitious temporary (paper) plate. The only people getting penalized are law abiding citizens, since they stop. The others drive like idiots and...
It gets better.
They told me sometimes it'd crank and not start... Classic air leak in the fuel line in a 30+ year old truck... So when they listed it, they made it sound like it wasn't running. So I was fully expecting to have to replace a bunch of stuff just to get it to start... and one of...
This only applies to a resident.
This is why I suggest putting vehicles in a Trust, out of state. A trust is not a resident of the state, AND serves a legitimate and lawful purpose (estate management). An LLC has to have a function, and an LLC that solely exists to hold a vehicle so it can be...
I paid for it.... I think I got a steal.. $7100.... I'm thinking there's at least that much in parts in it if there's major issues.
Now gotta schedule the pick up.
'90 M923A2
It's not the lens that melts, it's the LED emitters that get dimmer and dimmer - premature failure due to heat, not to mention rapid dimming when in use. Increased heat = increased resistance = higher current draw and you have a cascade failure. Modern LED bulbs also thermal throttle, but they...
I've been yelling about shills since the takeover by Ritchie Bros.
Virtually overnight, the number of defaulting bidders and trucks that were relisted a month later went off the charts.
Trucks went from $500 start and ending at 6-8K, to $4500 start and ending at 12-13K, again, virtually...
My intent is to live full time in a box... :D
I had an M934, but realized the box was a waste as to design around the folding out sides was dumb. So I sold it.
Here I am a couple years later and my how prices have changed. $4500 for a 5 ton? HA! They're 3x that now, easily.
I ended up...
