Hello everyone,
I need a pair of axles transported from Freeport Florida to El paso Texas. They are approximately 1300lbs each if you can help or know anyone who can please let me know thanks

Scar59 thank you sir! Im gonna try to save it rather than swapping it out for sure. I suspect either the lower liner seals or the oil cooler to be the culprit. I know that usually oil cooler failure will cause oil in the water scenario as the oil pressure is higher but the previous owner...
86m1028 I look forward to getting some big tires on this thing it looks like a big roller skate on stock tires. Its funny how that works I was looking for a m916 originally... Im happy with my truck now and I think the extra wheelbase should help out with my plans and not affect it terribly bad...
mkcoen wish I could make it up there but my budget is stretched so tight right now I could play a tune on it. Ill be eating bologna sandwiches for awhile but its all worth it for my trucks. Ill try my best to make the next one I would love to see Big Bend I've always wanted to go and it would be...
KK thank you sir! When Im at that point I will certainly shoot you a PM. I read several of the m920 specific threads I found before I purchased it and the Hemtt wheels seem to the the wheel of choice. I understand some modification of the drum is required. But im a good ways away from tires at...
Well for now im gonna concentrate on getting the engine repaired and the rest of the truck mechanically sound. I bought this truck with a damaged engine it has water/coolant in the engine oil. Im hoping it wasnt run long enough like this to damage the crankshaft but I have a lead on a complete...
My new M920 made it home safely! :jumpin::jumpin: I was able to find a great shipper that got it to me safely and was even a day earlier than estimated. Cant wait to start working on this thing!
KK I actually found several people willing to tackle the job for the $2,000 budget. I also had many that were substantially higher. The highest estimate I got was 4300$. The biggest challenge I had was coordinating the pickup with the sellers schedule. He requested a 3 day notice before pickup...
Hello everybody,
I recently purchased a non Running 1979 M920 located in Barada, Nebraska I need it transported to me in El Paso, Texas. The truck does have functioning brakes and good tires so it could be flat towed. Are there any members in that area willing and capable of transporting this...
UPDATE- changed Fuel, Fuel Filter, flushed lines and drove for about 20 miles and white smoke cleared up nicely. Still knocking so I pulled the oil pan and found metal shavings. Shavings are non ferrous wont stick to my magnet so I pulled the main and rod cap from cyl 6 bearings look ok. Ill be...
Yeah I would like to avoid putting any Windows in my block if I Can . Thats crazy that it let go after only knocking for 3 seconds maybe it had been knocking for awhile? Hope my engine doesn't wind up the same. Was that the wrist pin or crankshaft side of that rod?
Gimpy thanks for the advice. I do plan to have the injectors cleaned and adjused but I was hoping to figure out the knock before I invested any substantial amount of money into this engine. Maybe ill just bite the bullet and take them to get serviced. Is it possible that a stuck or badly firing...
Hello everyone,
I purchased my first 5 ton about a month ago and finally got around to tinkering with it today . Its a 1983 m923 with a Cummins NHC 250. I bought the truck from a volunteer fire department in Oklahoma. The truck was advertised as "running and driving but has engine knocks and...
Looking to purchase 2 axles with wheels/tires mounted and air shifted T-case items are located in Palmetto, FL. and need to be delivered to El Paso Texas.
Thanks,
Paul
