    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Pulled the exhaust manifold off, got it machined, now working on getting the bolts out that broke off. Also the t-stat housing while I was there cause it was leaking. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    M923a2 exhaust manifold bolt question

    The troughs around the bolts were holding dirt, sand, salt, water, etc..... leading to the erosion of my bolts. Just got the manifold back from the machine shop. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    M923a2 exhaust manifold bolt question

    I agree, I always run into problems any time I have to use typical stainless hardware. Normally they're soft and gall quickly. Ford oe exhaust fasteners run a little different alloy. Manifold studs normally have enough nickel in the make up to prevent some rust. While the manifold to pipe...

    M923a2 exhaust manifold bolt question

    So I finally found some grade 10.9 (8 equivalent in standard) the right length at Lowes of all places. $2.10 in packs of 2 I haven't got started on the broke off ones yet, but I don't see it being a problem. I have plenty of good sharp drill bits and a set of extractors. I knew with the amount...

    conversion of 4 batteries to 2?

    conversion of 4 batteries to 2?

    Thanks, Well I found no need for the slave cable cause that one wouldn't have been long enough. But the main cables were. I did have to lengthen the 12 volt blower wire. There is a knock out at the top left of that under cab box that I used. It was the first mod I did to the truck, it was...

    M923a2 exhaust manifold bolt question

    I've got the exhaust manifold pulled off my 923 to repair a exhaust leak and I need to replace the bolts. Does any one know what grade bolts they were? Mine are rusted on the cap so I can't read them. They are metric, m10x1.50x70mm I can only find them in grade 8.8 (grade 5 equivalent ) unless...

    conversion of 4 batteries to 2?

    No problem, glad to help. So your slave cable is a completely stand alone function. It's just for jumping the truck. Think of it as fool proof, no way to mismatch cables and cause a fire/explosion etc... You don't even have to hook it up if not needed. I didn't understand part of one of the...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I drove mine every day last week to work! Sunday I started tear down to fix the leaking t-stat housing and the exhaust manifold leak. It's all tore apart now, only had 4 of the bolts break on the manifold. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    All of the M939 series do not have glow plugs. They have ether assist. The blower just hooks to one battery (12 volts) to get low speed. No resistor involved. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    3rd wire should be for 12 volt supply to the blower for low speed operation Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
