    923 Makes a Trip to the Gun Show with cool Thermal Images

    I use a FLIR i5 primarily. I have a team of techs that work in large computer rooms and we normally use them for airflow diagnostics. Pretty cool to use with a truck though, also great for spotting critters in the dark!

    M923A2 W/ Dresser 6 cyl?

    Yeah, a quick google search seems to show the Cummins made engines for Dresser for use in Dresser equipment. Seems like a few truck ended up with Dresser branded Cummins engines in them. As such I would suspect that are exactly the same as the Cummins branded engines.

    M923A2 W/ Dresser 6 cyl?

    I took a look at some of the regular places, and sure enough they are Dresser tagged. That said, they sure look like Cummins 6cta8.3, in everyway that I can identify. Anyone know the story?

    M923A2 W/ Dresser 6 cyl?

    Hmm, I can't say I have ever seen one with a Dresser in it. Do you have any pictures?

    A few more, just in case you want to know what the thermal profile of the whole truck looks like.

    923 Makes a Trip to the Gun Show with cool Thermal Images

    So I took the 923 on it's first long trip down to the Nation's Gun Show in Dulles. Left way early to get in line and be able to take my time in her, as traffic around here is replete with crazy people, so right lane the whole time, running around 50 MPH in 55 MPH zones. The truck did very...

    Front tire blow out going 55 MPH on the freeway

    Glad to hear you managed to keep it under control. I've been somewhat worried about the super singles on my truck. They are the wavy looking types, with a small amount of weather checking. They feel fine on the road, and the CTIS seems to keep the pressure where it should be when I've checked them.

    M929A2 dump truck will not start clicking sound

    It sounds as if the batteries are dead. Given that you had to jump it to begin with, did you replace the batteries?

    V100 mods

    Very cool build. I've got to ask, if you were ever to sell it, any idea what it would go for?

    New M923

    Very nice! What did it set you back?
  15. dk8019

    Drove the M936A2 for the first time today. Could use some advise.

    That sounds very, very, very bad. Have you read the -10 on the truck yet? It should never exceed 220F during normal operation. I would suspect two things: 1. I assume you've checked the level per the TM, if not, it maybe very low. 2. The gauge is faulty.

    Catastrophic Ibis Tek tow bar failure; snapped like a twig.

    Wow, I was thinking of getting on of these as well. Could you post up pictures of the failure, and how much did this guy weigh?
  17. dk8019

    Stow point?

    It's hiding in the back as I recall. The section that deals with specific equipment. Funny enough, the -10 I have doesn't show how or where this really is, it just hints at it, and that you should secure it with the straps.

    5 ton paint done

    I think I do like it! Where did the paint scheme come from?

    question for doghead or anyone else in NY

    I read through the DMV section as well, I don't see an easy way to get an in-transit plate either. I'm sure one of the NY guys will posted something up or PM you.

    2013 USS Torsk work weekend in Baltimore MD - seeking volunteers!

    My wife and I will be there for sure. See you on the 5th. We have no military experience, but like I said, we can clean and paint with the best of them! I've done two 5-ton trucks and our last two houses entirely! Looking forward to it!
