    6CTA m939a2 overheating issue

    210° if I recall correctly. It kicked on when it should have according to the temperature gauge.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Went out and tried the new dash light bulbs and they work well. I will start a thread about it since I had a hard time finding a local cheap source for them. It was about $12 for 10 bulbs at Oreilly's. I also found a good cheap cup holder at Oreilly's. It fits right between the seats and...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I finished flushing my cooling system after my stuck thermostat incident and refilled it with Rotella ELC coolant that I found at Tractor Supply. 50/50 mix BTW. A coolant filter is in the near future. New oil and filters, fuel filters (priming it sucked), and changed out my axle vent caps for...

    12v plug addition in my m923

    Your best bet is to go with a 24v to 12v inverter hooked to both batteries. You can hook up to just one battery and get 12 volts but it is bad for the batteries and not recommended.

    M923 Air Brake Lines Accidentialy Switched

    Have you downloaded all the TMs? There are three or four different sets covering your truck, including operation, maintenance, and parts. I believe the diagrams are in the -24 or -34 set but I can't say for sure. There is also a trouble shooting section. Many of them are available here in the...

    Yes sir. I am very happy. The real test will be this coming week. 100 miles a day all week. Hopefully I have nothing new to report.

    6CTA m939a2 overheating issue

    I did that as the first part of my latest test and it stayed cool. The first day I had heat issues was 35° out and running down the highway. I am hoping for the best. Tomorrow will include new coolant and another good test run.

    LMTV vs 5 TON

    I love my 5 ton also and haven't been in a LMTV either. My truck is pretty easy and cheap to work on.

    M1010 for my daughter the field biologist

    A 4x4 supercab truck with a camper sounds like just the ticket for her.

    Why didn't you immediately take it back to the shop? I assume they did brake work for you. Have them make it right.

    M923a2 air compressor mystery

    I just want to add that since the original issue and it fixing itself I have not had any other air delivery issues. I have also not fixed, rebuilt, or replaced any part of the air compressor system. I know this does not help anybody with similiar issues but it is what it is. I will revisit...

    Is that real world numbers or according to the TMs? The two can vary greatly.

    M923a2 air compressor mystery

    On mine I use the red glad hands and turn on the shut off valve by the hand. Are yours not getting pressure there? Follow the piping back under the truck and you may have another shut off valve. I generally use the front drivers side glad hand and it works well.
