    11.2 Miles Per Gallon in a M923A1?

    Mechanically injected motors differ greatly from one to another. If you took 3 m923a2s, all brand new and identical, one of the 3 would out run the other 2 and get better mileage. That's just the nature of the beast.

    So who has bumped the power on a 6CTA cummins

    Does the 8.3 have a waste gate? If it does, I can't find it. I've looked all over for it. The only line I see is the oil feed line.

    Why a 5 ton instead of a 2.5 ton?

    I just bought my first MV, a 1993 m923 cargo, and I love it. I've got my hands dirty wrenching on it a little. It's a man to work on, but if you work smart it's not bad at all. I've driven my buddies m35a3, and the 5er is easier to drive. The deuce is faster, but the 5ers brakes and steering are...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I can't remember which was which, but one took a 5/16 plug, and the other a 1/2 (front and back) I put a plug in the outlet of the hub going to the wheel mounted ctis valve. The front wheels had to be pulled off to plug it up, but the rears didn't. Ill take pictures and post them this evening.

    Installed a 50 inch led light bar on my M923

    Yes, but not ridiculously hot. Ill shoot it with a temp gun next time I run it for awhile and give you an exact temp.

    Installed a 50 inch led light bar on my M923

    Unfortunately, tonight I found out that my light bar doubles as a great work light in a pinch.

    cargo cover

    If I were you, I'd find a carpet installer. They are pros at sizing and cutting stuff like this to size. Show them some pictures of a cargo cover, and go over the details of overhang, etc, and I'm sure they would be of great assistance. My step dad installed carpet before he opened his own...

    What would cause/allow all 6 tires to deflate when CTis is supposed to be inflating?

    Cap it off and be finished with it. I'd love to have ctis if I had a team of mechanics to keep it up.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Thats why I capped mine. One day ill make a manual tire inflation system with valves and gauges, but until then a glad hand hose will do all my inflation duties.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Oh, the ctis ecu, got it. Pm me an offer, I have no idea what they go for.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Yes. Id like to have my ctis work right, but with everything filled up with water and crap, I don't see it working any time soon.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    This weekend I replaced the driver side front wheel boot, pulled everything apart to get the axle shaft out to clean all the sand that had got in there. To my suprise, the bearings were perfect, not polished or gnarled up at all. Also while capping off the crappy tire inflation system, I found...
