    Using wrecker CTIS controller on other trucks?

    I knew I had researched this before. It uses the rp1210a protocol and can talk the CAN bus using their software. It's a standard communications box and a heavy truck or mechanic on here might have the right diagnostic tool. I think you can diagnose and also set the parameters of the ECU from...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Yup, they are little disc's that go on over a nail looking fastener attached to the hood. If you don't have them, the manufacturer has them as well. I did the sticky stuff where I could, but where I couldn't reach it (and it's REALLY sticky) and then let the fasteners do the job. The only...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Sound dampening is the popular thought here. Some say it helps with heat as well, but noise is the opinion.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Pulled out the nasty insulation and put new stuff in. It has Mylar on one side, and sticky tape on the other. Bout $120 for the whole hood. 1" thick.

    Using wrecker CTIS controller on other trucks?

    I don't know the way it tells / checks but the "wrecker" version can be used in the others but will be at a lower pressure, even when upgraded. The 923's will go to 70 with the new or reprogrammed ones, but the wrecker will go to 90. I have several ECU's and would be happy to be a Guinea pig...

    questions about m923a1

    Congrats on the purchase. It see it has a Red River rebuild sticker on the door, so you might have some new components in there. RRAD can sometimes mean new, or just new paint. The troop seats look like good condition fiberglass. It has a couple of things like unpainted engine shields and...

    BFR Metals, Salina Kansas, a Goodie Hole

    Well, I'm still unpacking, but had a good time at Glen's. 2 days of pulling was cool. Mostly got flashers, failsafe's, a couple of light switches, a bunch of headlights and buckets. Someone nailed all the CTIS cab parts before I got there. Glen has a ton of trucks still, although I heard...

    Picking up my 91 923a2 friday

    Good luck! Bring a spare phone battery, a credit card, lots of tools (don't forget that 10mm wrench for the IP prime). Post progress and the pics, which is tough to remember. Drive slow and read those TM's, you never know what is going to happen... Go over the truck and check everything, and...

    Behr paint prep on divots and rust spots

    Let me clarify, I know this is a truck. Not going for showroom here, it will be beat up as I use it as well. Just want to make it a little less obvious. I also do not have metal divots, just surface and paint rust flake. Most auto applications for a flake would be sand, get rid of rust...

    Bennett, Colorado VFW

    I do see it's the morning, but I'd have to be out if there at 11 to make it back, then back to Denver to get ready for the next gig. Cutting it too close. I'm in Westminster, the truck is in Dacono.

    Therooster2001's M925A2 build thread

    Thanks! I did the rubber kitchen mats from Lowes in the bottom of my toolboxes. 1 mat does both boxes. That rubber smells is pretty powerful. Buy one, wash it and air it out, or something. Mine still knocks me out when I open the box. I've seen the seats, just think that blue on the...

    Therooster2001's M925A2 build thread

    Primed the battery box and the seat, then hit them with some Behr today. I think they came out great. I also touched up the floor and cab a bit, man, just don't know when to stop, Now I have to reinstall. Haven't tackled the reupholstery job yet. Had to get another project moving for...
