I figure, then, I will just keep them on the truck for the cool factor. Not worth the while to sell separate. But just might make someone like this truck a lot more.

My M923A2 that I just brought in yesterday has a radio (see picture). Just what exactly is it, and do you think that I should sell it separately from the truck?

I own both a -A0 truck (M927) and a -A2 truck (M931A2). Right here the weather has been relatively cold lately (as low as 20 degrees) and I tried starting both just to see. The -A2 is CONSIDERABLY easier to start with ether assist. Really starts in one crank or two cranks.

Hook it up to a compressor from away, so that it is quiet and you can hear where the air is escaping.

I am extremely envious!!!!

Do you own a voltmeter? You need to measure volts at the batteries and go from there.

The punishment is more like $10 per gallon, not $1,000. I would say, 1) get evidence that the truck came with red fuel (GL auction printout, mileage, photos), that will help in court if you get caught with dye resudue 2) drain the red fuel, sell it for a couple of dollars a gallon, drain the...

I have been a GL customer for the last 13 years or so and have not defaulted. But I am wondering, what happens to people who do default?

These MRAP tires seem to be selling for a lot less on ebay, than they went for in the latest GL auction. If they really can replace my -A2 tires with these, I may stock up on a set of six.

So, if the weather is, say, 10 degrees F, how long would it take to warm up the engine with a block heater?

What kind of inspection are you anticipating?

Do you have two spaghetti tubes? Why two? instead of one, like on my M927

*** THIS POST APPLIES TO ...-A2 VEHICLES ONLY! *** I have a M931A2 tractor, and I noticed that its ether starting system is more complicated than on my M927. First, there are two small lines going to the ether bottle. One goes to the main opening and another to a little opening on the side...

The pressure that would release spring brakes is determined by the brake chamber. I cannot see how you could even find a brake chamber with such funky release pressure. Sounds odd.

That's normal, the trailer also has tanks, and the air found more volume for itself. Now if you run the truck, does the pressure stay at 60? Can you close the valves, re-pressurise the truck again, and supply the trailer again?

Build up pressure in the truck. Turn engine off. Hook up the trailer. Supply trailer with air (open valves). Listen for leaks.

Suprman, do you think that I need to buy that kit DQ6020, or just spray/lubricate the existing expello valve and call it a victory? If I was to lubricate it, should I just spray WD-40 from the bottom?

Get a Hall effect DC Ammeter and measure the current going out from the alternator. See if it is excessive.

Suprman, it was exactly as you said. I came to work today, pushed the valve up with a plastic stick, with a bit of effort it "clicked" and went up a little. Now the air pumps up. In fact, this Holset compressor is amazing in how much air it pumps and how quickly the tanks fill. This...

Very nice truck, it looks like. I remember this lot. I got lot 7429. My driver will pick it up hopefully next week and drive to Chicago. Congratulations.
