Have a VIC-3 Master Control Station and two FFcrew boxes. All cables to connect the three and power it up. It currently works great as an intercom between two passengers. But, I want to know what the other capabilities are. Can I hook up a phone to it to make calls, talk on the phone? Or can I...

Quarter million dollar tractors don't have strainers. Mine isn't 1/4 mill but it probably was close to that when it was new. It doesn't have a strainer. And it's filled in the dirtiest of conditions. Mainly dust, but a strainer won't stop dust. A strainer is a good idea to keep falling leaves...

In our environment, wouldn't a rotten strainer be worse than no strainer at all? If mine was rotten, I'd just remove it. We live in a pretty sterile environment. No blowing debris at my gas station. of course they are good ideas, after all the hole is big and a leaf could get in there, it's...

Well done!

Your tires are too big. I have some 14's I'll trade you for them. :)

Thanks SD. I think I want to do that. Well, I think I want that done, let me put it that way. Strongly toying with the idea of turning the truck into into a dual cab again. I'm afraid my contact (you know who you are ;) ) will come back with a reasonable price on a cab. That would be the time...

Oh, you have no idea what you are missing. Those guys know camping, like these guys know military trucks. Here a guy makes a F-450 into a camper http://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/125714-Ford-E450-4x4-build-revival/page2?highlight=panel here I ask a question about turning a 923A2 into...

Do you post on the expedition portal website? If so, what's your name? Those guys know RV and travel trailer stuff. I started a thread over there on building an expedition vehicle from a 923a2 and got some serious advice. one guy did recommend a truck like yours (was that you?) and I got a lot...

Your list makes me feel feel like I hardly worked on mine at all! :) Nice set of improvements! I am interested in this. How long did it take to do them all? Anything that lessens the beating of a five ton, it's nice. I'm sure I can find them with a simple search, from Mikes, Erik's, Memphis...

I wonder if it's buried deep in the annals of the multiple TMs. Somewhere in those thousands of pages is a footnote saying what deflection can be expected with full articulation at certain loads. What are you doing where you are going to be encountering extreme terrain with an ISO container...

New axle boots left and right. New Alternator since mine broke on my "new boot test drive" ... perfect timing. fixed leaking radiator fixed leaking timing cover (just tightened bolts) Bought 2 new group 31 batteries since some dummy (probably me) didn't turn off the battery shutoff switch...

1. Buy everything you want before you get married. Or have a kid. 2. If you can't afford to fix it, don't buy it. 3. Ignore #2 and buy one anyway. 4. Get it. It will break, but you will figure it out. 5. Cool factor ... off the charts. Everyone loves a 5-ton. The engines and transmission...

There are rubber "stops" installed to stop the travel. Measure on level ground, then you have a good starting point to figure out the travel. You can use smaller tires too if you miss it by an inch or so.

if you trace those wires back (low speed on blower) you will find that the blower switches negative charge from one battery (12v ) to both batteries (24v) all it is, is the negative wire that comes off of the battery that supplies the + lead, that keeps it 12v instead of 24v. So you are using...

02:00 I received an email requesting EUC for the three trucks I bought. One of them was a refunded sale since the truck didn't match description online. They still want an EUC on that one too. 2:00 am clearly an automated system email. What a Charlie Foxtrot

I don't know. I went to Texas Tech and we have a special "Love" for the Aggies. From 89 on for about 20 years we had the most brutal rivalry. (Tech did, the Aggies saved their love for ut) And Tech won probably 75% of those games in that time span. No matter how good they were or how bad we...

the first thing that came to mind when I saw this was that joke about a guy who moves to a house out in the country. His closest neighbor comes over and invites him to a party he's having on Saturday. "Great, I love a party!" "Now, there will be a lot of drinking." "That's ok, I love some cold...

I see all these rallies in PA and CA, but nothing for us Texans (yes, I know we are welcome at most of your rallies) but I'd like one within 200 miles or so from Dallas. Surely, there has to be something?? I know there is one in Big Bend, but that is a loooong way from Dallas.

Randy, tried to send you a PM, but it didn't seem to work. Shoot me a PM, you seem to be pretty close to me. Just down the road since I'm in NW Frisco, plus I'd like to see a pic of your rig. Sounds pretty neat.

On the plane on my way up to Idaho to get my 923a2 and bring it home, I sat next to a nice guy from Fairview. "I live in Frisco, where's Fairview." He answered, "That's why I like it. Nobody knows where we are." Home of Michael Crabtree that played for Texas Tech. Anyway. Welcome. My...
