    The beast died after hitting a bump!!

    Send it to me, I'll fix it and send it back, and tell you what was wrong with it. The guys are right, there's nothing that can be caused by to many amps in a battery. Think of the amp rating as "availible amps" components can't draw more than what they require unless they have something...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    M923/A1 Fuel system common issues

    M923a2 air question

    Bump to the top, I'm having the same issue at the moment. Mine is venting the secondary tank with the brake pedal depressed, engine off into the stack. I thought I could hear it at the stop sign, so I tried it with the engine off when I got home. It might be just frozen being it's currently...
