    Discovered why my engine was blown up.

    As noted previously Gasoline is much more volatile and ignites faster than diesel. Gasoline burns really fast. If you consistently ignite the fuel a little too early which the high compression of a diesel does, you'll blow holes in your pistons, break piston rings, break connecting rods...

    I'm confused on tire sizes.

    I need several new tires for my 939A2 series, They are all 14Rx20. Can I use 395/85R 20? I don't understand what the numbers mean, I understand the 20inch being the rim diameter, but the difference between 14 and 395/85 what is that?

    CTIS Auto tire inflation system questions

    Each wheel has a wheel valve on it. They don't back feed and in any case they would equalize even if the valve was faulty.

    1985 m998 glow plug possibly?

    That would be my first guess or the used box wasn't good to begin with. NEVER EVER USE ETHER!!!!!!!! You might need some new glow plugs too now.

    M998 No Fuel to Injectors (Rebuilt IP last year)

    If you have bubbles in the return line, you are sucking air from somewhere. I suggested looking there because I had a pretty good seal leak on the injector pump. You are sucking air from somewhere causing hard to no start.

    M923A2 Starts only with Ether, and stalls when put into gear

    Sounds to me like the transmission if you are only getting one gear. Still betting torque convertor.

    Wierd CTIS issue

    Yes I have several M939 vehicles, never encountered it partially filling then flashing out. Then fully filling and flashing out instead of the final honk. It's a never ending adventure with CTIS.

    Are you saying the TM is incorrect? I follow the TM directions and mine grinds as I pull back on the lever to engage. TM 9-2320-272-10 page 249 of the PDF. I can't figure out how to get the PDF pages to the right size on this forum.
