    Where to put a locker?

    If you had to pick which axle to put a locker in which pig would get it? Or would you put one in all three? I've got stuck three times now and need to make an upgrade somewhere.

    Got the 925 out tonight heard something I did not like.

    At speeds above 40, and while under slight to heavy acceleration. If I back off the accelerator it goes away unless the truck is going down hill then I can still hear it. I can actually feel it in the pedal.

    Got the 925 out tonight heard something I did not like.

    After sitting all winter I decided I take it out and go around the block. Compared to the 923, the 925 has what sounds like a bad bearing noise in the drive line while under power. It is a Red River Refurb with 50 hours on it. Hope its not the transfer case. Any one have an idea how to isolate...

    I think there is something wrong with my 923A1 fuel pump....

    Dropping the tank is not so bad. Just need to siphon the fuel out first.

    That reminds me, had checking the fittings failed, plan b was to drill the fuel cap and thread in an air fitting so I could pressurize the tank. 5 psi is all you would need. There is also a diesel fuel dye you can add to increase the chances of seeing the leak.

    I think there is something wrong with my 923A1 fuel pump....

    I noticed in the above picture that the pet cock looks like it is turned all the way up. That would be full open. If true your system would bleed back everytime you shut it off. I believe the TM says to burp the air by running the truck with it open so it may run fine open. If that is not it...

    Alternator issue

    Southern Michigan auto will sell just the regulators. Easy to put on. Just make sure to remove the alternator, don't try to do it in the truck way harder as it turns out....

    I think there is something wrong with my 923A1 fuel pump....

    Yes, mine would hunt at an idle but ran fine down the road. Mine would race right after start up and then hunt. It's the two fittings for the fuel primer. It should a short plastic line that goes from the fuel primer to the fuel pump. Mine was loose on the primer side. If you have a good...

    Which Machine Gun did the 939 series carry?

    The M2HB appeals but I don't have 20k. Maybe I'll modify a propane cannon to look like a machine gun. Correction, 9k, I found them for 9.

    That is awesome.

    Which Machine Gun did the 939 series carry?

    Will be pimping out the 925 with tinted windows and a machine gun ring but wondering what model did they carry typically? If money was no object I would go for the M2 BMG 50 cal. But was curious if some of the ex military folks here knew which model was the standard gun for the 900 series trucks.
