    Fuel Tank Vent

    The other day I filled my truck up at night when it was about 70 degrees out. Yesterday it heated up just above the century mark. I removed my fuel cap from the tank and air pressure came out followed by fuel spewing out at me. Can any one tell me if the fuel tank vents should work both ways or...

    CARC faded after wash

    It just stinks. It looked fairly new until I hit it with that soap. I should of read the instructions first "spray on an inconspicuous area first!"

    M925 making a strange noise

    I have one ordered. When I replace it I will let you know if that's what is was. I am pretty sure its the bearing. Did some driving yesterday and every time we heard it I sprayed it with WD-40 and it would stop. This really is a great site. I enjoy the search feature and TM's. Hopefully this...

    CARC faded after wash

    I washed up my M925 yesterday and the paint extremely faded. I have the original military CARC paint on the truck. Now my black is grey, brown is tan, and green is sage. In the past I have always pressure washed it with water. This time I used a degreasing soap. Big mistake. When its wet it...

    Over filled radiator all of a sudden.

    I took it to Cummins because I thought it was the head gaskets. :D I have no clue how they tested that. I would start with the thermostat and cap like you plan.

    M925 making a strange noise

    I had soldier A (wife) hop in the drivers seat. While soldier B (me) walked next to it at slow speeds and to me it sounded like it was in the transmission area. I have no clue why soldier A told me it was coming from the rear ends. I took a can of good old WD-40 and sprayed down the front...

    Over filled radiator all of a sudden.

    I had a similar problem on a 855 Cummins in the past. My truck kept pushing coolant out. When the truck was cool if I removed the cap the coolant was under pressure and would spill out. The culprit was a faulty air compressor. It was pushing air through the coolant lines putting extra pressure...

    aluminum wheel torque.

    With my Freightliner FLD on the drive axles I have steel rims on the inside dual and aluminum on the outside. I have always used the same torque on the aluminum rim as I would the steel ones. My local tire shop is the same way when they change my tires out. It does take stud (budd) piloted rims...

    M925 making a strange noise

    I have checked the dog bones and ever thing looks good there. U-joints LOOK good and tight but I am not ruling them out just yet. I guess I know what I am doing over the weekend. Pulling brake drums and possibly axles, thanks for the suggestion gimpyrob. As for the bows and cover it was making...

    M925 making a strange noise

    Update. I got home from work earlier than expected thanks to the upcoming holiday. Took spare tire boom off and removed the spare. Took it down the road and it still does it. Got it out on the interstate and had my wife follow me. She could hear the noise following me from quite a distance...

    M925 making a strange noise

    When brasco mentioned the spare tire davit roller I thought for sure that's what it was. I duct taped the roller so it can't move and had the wife grab hold of the boom and the noise was still present. I'm sorry I should have posted that info when I posted the video. I am going to remove the...

    M925 making a strange noise

    Thanks for the idea Mik929. I had the wife record the noise as I was driving it today. Sorry about the picture, she held her phone out the rear window to best capture the odd noise. The First video it starts making the noise about 15 seconds in. Also in the first video I shifted into neutral so...

    M925 making a strange noise

    Finally got around to the parking brake. I disassembled the parking brake on the drive line. Every thing checked out. Adjusted it and it functions like it should. Took it for a test drive and the noise is still there. Seems to do it when coasting or decelerating after running at higher speeds...

    M925 making a strange noise

    Since I have owned my M925 I have noticed a strange jingle/ chatter noise that sounds like it coming from behind and underneath the cab. It does intermittently and only when moving. It seems to do it most when I am running high speeds for a long time, then when I slow for a stop sign you can...
