    Steering wheels uneven tire wear - toe-in issue?

    I've checked the usual spots for the gauge by NSN and part number (referenced in the 5th TM for the 826 equipment package), and no joy. I could also be barking up the wrong tree on this, but it seems like the cause.

    Steering wheels uneven tire wear - toe-in issue?

    Ok, best searchable subject I could think of. I have some funny wear on my front tires. It seems to be both of them. It only appears to happen to the outer most tread on my Goodyears. Here's a good pict of the issue. A fellow SS turned me onto this in the TM's. Work package 493, in...

    M939 ABS Module Pics

    When you go to install, try to access the module from the "top", couple of easy screws and you are there. Don't try to undo the whole assembly below, that would be torture. I did have the benefit of not having a bed on when I pulled one from Glen. With every one I've seen there has been some...

    Air Brake Service Needed

    If you verify it is the Q2, and get one on the Bay, ensure the air vales are the correct size. (3/8"), I got the wrong one first. Easy fix BTW, happened to me. Venting out the stack is the key, and checking the valve and brakes with the truck off, aired up through the rear emergency helped...

    Bmy 929 a2 lights

    Not trying to start a fight here, but I think the "down with the push button" is a bit rash. Several people have had these with no issues, even on really old stuff, even an 1951 had one installed, no issues. I have read threads stating there was an issue with some before 2005, and that the...

    Bmy 929 a2 lights

    Does it light up yellow when touched? It should also blink blue on that button when you select an option, then you have to hit enter for it to engage. Once you have it engaged, it will stay blue on that button. If it doesn't light, I'd check the ground wire first on the switch, this one...

    Behr paint prep on divots and rust spots

    Ok, closing the loop here. I used a polycarbonate disc from HF on a drill and blended it. So much better and it took like 1 minute.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Painted more on the truck, and forgot to post this little guy. It was an LED Spotlight I 3D printed a handle for. I have a genius charger so got the right connector, which was its specific extension and cut it up, got 40' of cord and bam, a handheld LED spotlight from the slave port.

    M923A2 Muffler repair/replace?

    Nah, easy. I've pulled clamps and heat shrouds at Glen's on a bunch of trucks, never had to torch anything. 4 bolts on the shrould, 4 on the holders, and 2 on the clamps. The only pain is getting TO the bolts. I'm a little guy so I can climb around the truck, but big guys will find it a...

    M923A2 Muffler repair/replace?

    Certain Home Depots carry it. It's not that good of a match, but better than green, although black would have been an interesting choice now that I settled on it to be my accent color. Still in the process of painting.. Thanks Artisan for the real NSN, some odd gaskets on the Bay. They just...

    M939 Quick Fuel Filter and Pump Re-Prime After Changing Cartridge Element

    You found the right help in this thread. Check the picture above in post 8, the orange filter is one of the fuel filters on all of them, the next one will either be a small inline filter right below the lift pump (follow the line) or the big mounted one right by the fender (it's huge), that's...

    M923A2 Muffler repair/replace?

    Ok two more questions. I've seen the new gaskets on the bay and they don't look big enough, they are listed as exhaust gaskets. Does anyone have the the NSN of the correct ones for both sides of the muffler? I did find tan high temp (actually called almond) which is a heck I a lot closer than...

    M923 or Deuce?

    I am strictly talking about M923A2's. GL stopped selling them, but that is because of contract. GP auctions them, but are getting rarer. There are some GP peeps on here that will correct me or verify but there are only 14 coming up at auction in the near future. Although if this is the first...

    M923 or Deuce?

    I may be the gloom and doom guy, but I think the M923's are short for the world. I've seen them drop off from auction from Utah, Kansas and a few trickle to Colorado. Have you done a search lately on GP? I think they are coming to the end (which sucks as I JUST got into them this year). That...

    M923A2 Muffler repair/replace?

    Can't find an answer by searching, but mine is a bit rusty even with the bubble it's the sheathing which is only welded in several spots. Would JB weld help finish the job? I also need to paint my replacement tan. Should I use engine paint? I would think that Behr would not hold up to the...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Took off my painted tan mudflats, and swapped with original black ones. I love my tan color, but everything is painted (not the cab inside). For some reason it really bugged me that those and the engine shields were tan. I need to paint the engine shield metal tan and I'll feel better.

    Using wrecker CTIS controller on other trucks?

    No I meant who has the rp1210a interface box.
