    6CTA m939a2 overheating issue

    So my worthless update. I got nothing. Refilled the reservoir with the bleed valve open. No air bled out. No pressure coming back into the reservoir either upon starting. I did not drive it though, just let it idle for a half hour. Nothing out of the ordinary happened. Minor bubbles came out...

    6CTA m939a2 overheating issue

    I did but it all falls apart without access to the WPs. Are those available somewhere or buried in the TMs somewhere?

    6CTA m939a2 overheating issue

    Running it with the tank drains open was exactly what I had in mind to test the shutterstat or any other air pressure in the system issues. I still need to narrow it down from air pressure or a head gasket/ combustion chamber pressure issue. If the air pressure issue does stop by opening the...

    6CTA m939a2 overheating issue

    No, I did not bleed it. I know about the valve but didn't even think about it. I think the shutterstat will be my main objective to test. Pumping air into the coolant system makes sense at this point. The coolant started to run as soon as I started it up this morning, immediately upon the tanks...

    I think that will be the last thing I try.[emoji6]

    6CTA m939a2 overheating issue

    I didn't see anything like that in the TMs. My thermostat housing didn't match the picture either. I will have to check again. Maybe what I saw was for the engine in the a1 (NC250 or whatever). Thanks for the info.

    6CTA m939a2 overheating issue

    I read about that in another thread. Any way to check that or test it?

    6CTA m939a2 overheating issue

    I will check the radiator tomorrow, as well as refilling the reservoir to see if it blow out again. I will also check the hoses and see if they build pressure while running cold.

    6CTA m939a2 overheating issue

    Just the overflow is losing coolant and it didn't appear to spit any out while driving.

    6CTA m939a2 overheating issue

    My MV is a 1990 m923a2 with the 8.3l Cummins and I have owned it for four months or so. Searching the forum hasn't revealed any help and the TMs give little support. Here is my issue. The coolant overflow was empty 3 weeks ago. I filled it with coolant mix and drove it 45 minutes. It stayed...

    Tire Air Loss After CTIS Delete?

    Soapy water works well, but there is a lot of tire to cover. I tried it on one of mine and had no luck. It usually works very well. I ended up using a tarp and making a pool around the tire. Found out it was in the valve stem area. Quick turn of a wrench and it was done. I do have one leaking...

    Added a Warn 18000 lb winch to my Deuce

    Looks very good. I will have a winch someday for my 5 ton and that would look great. Any provisions for winching to the rear?

    CTIS wheel filter inspect/replace

    Get an extra Shrader valve. The metal caps aren't usually sealed very well. I usually hold the valve ready and move as fast as I can when popping the hose. I spit on the Shrader too so the seal doesn't tear (not sure if they will or not anyways but I always have done that). It takes like ten...

    So I think I lost a bet...

    My understanding is the blower motor is on low with 12 volts and high with 24 volts. I am not positive which wire it is though. The blower motor doesn't pull enough power to adversely affect the batteries with a 12 volt draw. Add 15 other units that pull off one battery and then the trouble...

    Best adhesive or adhering agent for weather stripping and door seals?

    I haven't tried it on that particular application, but Silicone seems to work well for most things like that. I had an old truck that was missing the door weather stripping. I put a layer of blue tape on the door and added Silicone to the seal and shut the door. It worked well and the tape kept...
