    Radio in M923A2? sell separate?

    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.

    Radio in M923A2? sell separate?

    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?

    Difference between an M923A1 and an M923A2?

    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.

    M925 Air Brake losing air, parking brakes wont release

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

    M923A2 start won't engage

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

    RED diesel fuel?

    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...

    Anyone else win tires on GL today?

    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?

    Anyone else win tires on GL today?

    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.

    Block heater M923A1

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

    ...-A2's and ether starting.

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

    ...-A2's and ether starting.

    *** 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...

    5 ton won't build air to trailer

    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.

    5 ton won't build air to trailer

    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?

    5 ton won't build air to trailer

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

    M931A2 compressor does not pump?

    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?

    Alternator / generator problem again

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

    M931A2 compressor does not pump?

    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...
