    M925a2 Power Surge

    Yep! That’ll do it! Somehow, it seems incomplete ... something seems to be missing. Right! You forgot to mount the truck to the engine and tranny!

    What's your best 'that was dumb' moment involving your 5 ton?

    She did ... until then. I wasn’t halfway out of the truck before “we” were discussing plans to sell all of them. So unfair of her to blame the truck. Like a man, I took responsibility, deflecting any blame away from the innocent machine that has served me well.

    What's your best 'that was dumb' moment involving your 5 ton?

    Oh! That can hurt! Standing on top of bed rail, all of a sudden not standing on top of bedrail. Don’t know or remember what lead to this unfavorable horizontal position. 4 broken ribs, concussion, badly sprained wrist and generally, a lot of pain. 1.5 hrs from home. Still have to unload 7...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Kroil was my favorite rust bolt loosener and gun cleaner until someone told me about the one penetrating oil that outperformed Kroil in a rusty bolt scientific test. 50:50 ATF and Acetone. It works, and you don’t have to be really cautious with it because of the cost. ATF and Acetone are not...

    SD, if it's still up for grabs, I'd like it please. Thanks. Will PM.

    AC install on 923A2

    True, true.

    AC install on 923A2

    One year update. Should have put a generous blob of dielectric grease on every electrical plug fitting. These fittings must have gotten a little oxidation on them, as I had problems from the beginning with getting the compressor to come on at all. All of these plugs come together at the...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I look at the rating. If the 4 and 5 star ratings are close to 90%, and there are numerous ratings, (over 100) I'll give it a shot. This had 220 ratings and 90% were 4&5 star. Done. Im not going to say these are the same as JW Speaker lights, but, ironically, both of them have 90% 4&5 star...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    This may seem a bit odd at first, but stick with me. I replaced one one of my headlights. Amazon occasionally has "warehouse specials" where a part is slightly damaged, or the box is missing/damaged. Saw this Harley Davidson Daymaker (Chinese version, I'm sure). DOT approved headlight for $17...

    M923 air conditioning a/c install project

    i used this thread to do my install. I did a write up on it as well, it answers a few questions I couldn't find in "Overs" thread. His post was a huge help to me, but have a look at mine as well may give some insight on a different way to do some of the items...

    The 5-tons are winners wherever they go. Chicks from 18-80 dig them. Guys, with any testosterone, get a bit green. They rock. Congrats on the trophy.

    M923 air conditioning a/c install project

    Here is the compressor I am going to use on the tan truck. It's a 40,000btu MRAP compressor. You can use the 10 rib installed clutch/pulley on an 8 rib belt, if you use 74M35A2's special bracket (not the usual A2 bracket), it will save some $ (check classified section or PM me) I'll be using...

    M923 air conditioning a/c install project

    What kit? The complete AC system? $1200 or so the Alternator/compressor mount kit? I forget, but I'm sure he will chime in soon and tell you. If you are wanting to do an AC on your 939A2, Clint and I have a package special for his bracket and one of my NOS 40,000 BTU compressor for $320...

    M925a2 Power Surge

    I'm sure the fine gentleman with the awesome NIB compressors wouldn't mind you sharing his contact info, he's a great guy and I hear his wife is hot and smart as Einstein too. I have 4 left, I am putting one on my tan truck this week. Not changing out the 10 rib for an 8 rib clutch, I was...

    M925a2 Power Surge

    Just curious what the 8 rib clutch conversion set you back. I like these compressors, they are serious, and the only way to go to AC a dual cab. (I know there are other ways, just a saying). Once I get my MRAP evap unit, I'm like 2.5% of the way to having my dual cab conversion done! Then all...

    M925a2 Power Surge

    No, it keeps going to the top. I always figure, "Hey bwana, If you don't want to read it, don't click on it." I think its interesting. I learn something every time you make a mistake, or even when you do it right.

    M925a2 Power Surge

    Thanks for making that mistake for the rest of us to learn. I'm secretely two steps behind you doing the same engine swap. Just kicked back watching you make the mistakes. JK. That sucks dude. Carry on. But, when you do get it all together, your AC compressor will keep you mighty cool, while...
