    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Good deal, but I'm confused. We see slip yokes of one type or another on every rear wheel vehicle that comes in the shop. I belive there's at least one in my 923, in the transfer to intermediate axle drive shaft. There's not one in the jack shafts? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    1991 BMY M923A2 loses heat when temp gauge hits 200 degrees

    If the timing cover has been replaced at any point it may not be there anymore. The tag will be just above the IP. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    1991 BMY M923A2 loses heat when temp gauge hits 200 degrees

    I think your right, but it was replaced by a different design. I belive the one I replaced it with looked like the other one shown in the pic a couple post back. So far so good I've put alot of miles on it, it was before the Graves mountain rally on Labor day. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    M923 receiver/hitch assembly

    Simple and effective idea, did you put more than just those 2 bolts where those 2 pieces of angle overlap? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Timing cover, drivers side of engine. Should be a silver and red plate. That t-stat looks oddly familiar for some reason and I can't put my finger on it. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Honestly I didn't check the TM, I called Cummins with my ESN and had them email me the breakdown. I pulled all my numbers from their documents and ordered all the parts from them. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    There's not supposed to be 2 t-stats in the truck. At least Cummins doesn't list it. I've just had mine apart, make sure you replace all the gaskets in that area after you disturb any of it. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    One thing I forgot is that the 1088 cab does seal better than the 932. So the heat is more effective and you don't get wet when it rains. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    So the stock 5th wheel plate on a 932 I belive has a bigger hole for the king pin 3in vs a 2.5in. I may be wrong. The stock plate also is a 2 axis pivot and is quite a bit taller than a civy hitch. The good news is you can remove it and install a civilian sliding plate that will reduce the...

    We have 2 of the Motorola 2 way radios that we use in transit, but your right over 40mph in a 923 it's useless. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    I don't follow you, what's different about the rear of the frame of the dumps that won't allow a Curt or Draw Tite to clear? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Never did install it, I didn't like having to tear all of it apart instead of drill a couple holes. It's still sitting behind my shed, I'll end up putting a ready made hitch on eventually. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
