    READ before you pay sales tax out of state on vehicles

    They accept it when it is paid somewhere else when there is agreed reciprocity. It's not illegal. It's just an agreement between two entities. I bought a truck in Indiana and paid Indiana taxes. In NY taxes were 1 1/2 % higher so I had to pay the difference. Then they go to Indiana and recover...

    M923a2no reverse when in low range

    The problem with running a truck in "judgement zone" territory like this is, you will never know when the design limit is reached until its too late. Think of it like stretching out one of those little springs in a click-pen. Pull a little further each time and it springs back, then all of a...

    there a way to clean up door panels?

    Mix up a pail of Spic and Span. Use a nice stiff nylon scrub brush. Apply elbow grease. If they are not oxidized the results will be amazing.

    m923a2 with straight pipe

    If you use the power to try and do burnouts with the truck from a standstill, it won't last long. IF you use the power for smooth acceleration and power for pulling hills and cruising, it will just be a much more responsive vehicle and last just fine. I LOVE the way my truck drives nice, but I...

    M1009 ECU conversion parts

    Its already injected. Why in the world would you want to introduce an ECU into the mix? The mechanical F/I works pretty well, except when it doesn't.

    M939, what are the air lines on the park brake doing?

    Not in so many words. Its one of those experience items. -10 says its for releasing the spring brake to adjust the manual brake, and that the tank exsists for F. SPRING BRAKE AIR RESERVOIR - Stores enough air pressure to release spring brakes for emergencyoperation in event of primary or...

    M939, what are the air lines on the park brake doing?

    This is a great thread for those who don't really understand the air brakes in these trucks. If that little knob is pushed in, which those who know air brakes would probably do from muscle memory, the truck will only be parked on the little manual parking brake on the drive shaft. That is...

    M939, what are the air lines on the park brake doing?

    On the one that is NOT expelling air, make sure the spring brake over ride knob is pulled OUT to normal. If its pushed in the spring brakes get a constant supply of air and will never set.

    New member from Atlanta GA - looking for MV to pull a single car trailer

    Another option is a CUCV with 4:11 axles and a turbo install. Will do alot better on the highways for sure. What about a suburban clone? I have seen a few of those done, and a gasser might work better for you for this description. But......depending on how far you have to go, can't arrive...

    CTIS Zero lights....

    I was referring to 1 Patriot, that's why I quoted his statement.

    CTIS Zero lights....

    If your PPV is stuck, you are not getting accesory air. Your gauges are only for the primary and secondary braking systems. Need to free that up first before CTIS will see anything.

    stock deuce , commercial tire equivalent

    Many people replace them with Goodyear G177 11x20s that are on the 939A0 trucks. Relatively inexpnsive and a great tire.

    New to SS from NY

    Welcome aboard, since you stated you don't know anything about them, myself and many others will advise you to download the Tech Manuals (TMs) and become intimately familiar with especially the operator manual. You will love the truck I am sure.

    Air Brake system troubleshooting

    Are you trying to read them online, or saving them to your computer? You need to save them down to a hard drive or CD to have any sanity at all left after trying to search. I don't know which one off hand, but if I get a few minutes I can check. Mean while, just start dowloading and saving...

    Bobbed M931 almost done, Pics soon! A few questions please...

    As far as your question about the heater cord, I secured mine just inside the inside wheelwell on the frame rail by the tranny cooler. Just lift up the rubber and plug it in. Then the rubber keeps junk out of the plug when driving. Worked well for me.

    M923A2 Air compressor over pressure

    Its most likely NOT your governor!. Please search "pressure protection valve". You will find all of your questions answered at great length and detail. The key to diagnosing this is: No wipers, no horn = PPV. If you have wipers and Horn it is the governor. Very simple. EDIT: Floridason types...
