    M923a1 transmission fluid?

    How was your 2 to 1 downshift? Mine shifts well except for the 2 to 1 downshift-its harsh. Recently picked my truck up from Sparta-drove it home and found her to be a decent truck outside of the harsh shift point and a slow speed growl type noise around where the front carrier bearing is. Have...

    5-Ton battery relocate and secret battery shut off

    Batteries outside of cab should be no worry-cab mounted batteries are unusual for any vehicle. Will post progress pictures. This item is a good score-she will look great on my truck. The space beneath the seat will be a great place to carry my dog (just kidding)!

    5-Ton battery relocate and secret battery shut off

    I purchased a 5-ton battery relocation kit from Andy, a fellow SS member. It came in today-very complete right down to the battery cables. Came on a skid well protected and it looks great-brand honkin new. Andy delivered as promised. Its a nice assembly that gets the batteries and potential...

    I have the battery minder 24 volt with remp sensor on my trucks. They have a setting range from 1 to 4 amps. I left the power on in my duece with the inst lights on for a weekend. Voltage in the batteries was 11 volts. I first tried re-charge with the Minder. It did not work. I instead charged...

    Allison Transmission in M923A1

    Jeff I will try and lift up on shaft -bearing arrangement with bar. The assembly is so far off set to one side, it looks like it could get a lot of spray from the front tire-or mud. I will also check to see if mine has any grease fittings. Thank you for the info. I will report findings. Pete

    Allison Transmission in M923A1

    In low gear driving (M923) in parking lot I get a slight vibration and noise. Feels like it is under the seat-drive line carrier. Once up to speed-it goes away. Its not loud-it sounds like a dry bearing or one that is shot. Hope thread is not dead-need to understand what is causing this noise.

    M35A3 leaking fuel near filter

    Found the leak near fuel filter. Took the entire assembly off of engine. There are O-rings in the fitting for the lines in and out of housing-pulled the TM on it-brought it to CAT and they found the proper O-rings. The elbowthat screws into side and the tee on opposite side have another O-ring...

    Sparta M923 recovery and trip home

    Sounds good. Glad you made it home with no issues. On the batteries-try a desulfator before you chuck the batteries. Do them one at a time and see if you can get them to charge after conditioning. I have saved a few batteries by conditioning them-it might be with doing with the truck holding...

    Sparta M923 recovery and trip home

    Weather should be good. Watch out for the heater fan motor. If you turn fan on, you will see charge meter drop-make certain motor is turning. If not, dont run fan. They must not be fuse protected-my wire at motor got super hot. Mine was siezed-perhaps its the way they are mounted. Other than...

    These are not legal to use in a vehicle in Minnesota. Check with state law's first.

    Does anyone have a 3d CADD CAD model of the Deuce?

    Peashooter I am interested in how you are doing with your camper project. I am planning on doing this to either my 923 or 36A3. Have looked at cargo boxes-the kind that are taken off of delivery trucks. Its this or starting from scatch. Have Solidworks ability here.

    M35A3 leaking fuel near filter

    I pulled out what looked like an eyelash or brow in the check valve area. Maybe the people who put these together should wear hair nets and practice better grooming.

    just put a radio in the deuce

    Maybe you should consider a muffler is you are not going to wear protection around town. Better to wear protection-get the rear plugs with the hard plastic band-they dont look dorky and do a decent job. With your speakers so close to yer head, you will be able to still here them. Double dog...

    M35A3 leaking fuel near filter

    CanonNinja, Did she run right after that-or is there a new hiding spot for the gunk to migrate to? Pete

    M35A3 leaking fuel near filter

    Gary, You where right. I took the infeed fuel line off of tank. I unscrewed all of the small screws and pulled it from the tank. The large opening gave me a good view into the inside of tank. She was clean. When I took of the 90 degree elbow at top to reveal the check valve the first thing I...

    M35A3 leaking fuel near filter

    Joe, I am going to take a look at the check valve in the fuel tank. I dont understand what has happened. I changed the filter to a new filter. She ran great for about 100 miles-but still had leak. Took filter off and drained dry-then cleaned the boss till supper dry. Did notice the black rubber...

    M35A3 leaking fuel near filter

    Gary, It was white smoke. Dont understand why changing out tthe fuel filter would result in the check valve acting up. Maybe the flow was different past the check valve as the fuel filter was being filled up? I will take the check valve out today and clean. I will have to run the tank volume...
