Anybody have experience working with the SW 60k BTU fuel fired heaters? I have one that won't light. Power and fans are ok, but when held in start position, I don't see or feel the fuel solenoid clicking, and smoke comes from the fuel pressure regulating chamber, seems there is a heater in...

Happy New Year all. In wanting to add a dump conversion to my M925A2, I was ready to pull the trigger on one of the C&C scissor kits, but I have just seen too many complaints of slow speed and disappointment in lift capability. Also, WildChild467 pointed out to me that the scissor mechanism...

I don't really understand how people are pressurizing their fuel tanks to prime and find leaks, such as the infamous flexible line permeation. I would assume our fuel tanks are vented, and if so, how is one pressurizing the tank to find such leaks? Must either block the vent, supply enough...

Hi all. Seeking the hydraulic flow rate and bypass/relief valve pressure setting in the hydraulic system of the M925A2. WildChild467 has found the minimums for me, which are spec'd out at 800r's engine speed, but they are minimum test specs. I am converting over to 24V solenoid type hydraulic...

Anybody done it? I see electric ones, but maybe I'm missing any hydro ones. I just picked up a second winch complete with brackets and frame extensions, clone of the front one I have, to add to the rear under the bed between the frame rails. Seems like a perfect fit with ample room behind the...

So I want to acquire a boarding ladder for the bed of my M925A2, but I don't know the required one or length of such. I see postings of ladders for sale, and they give a length, but that does not correspond with the heigth reached via level steps. Meaning, sure a shorter one may reach, but...

In the title. Seemingly more difficult to find than I anticipated. Mine is so worn I can't even replicate it. Any advice is appreciated, thanks. Would have put into "Parts Wanted" section, but I am not necessarily seeking one directly from an individual. Just a source call out is enough.

Added a pivoting bed crane. Decent unit, has a tapered roller bearing in the base. Fully removable to store away. Also used 24V winch which can be added and removed without tools. Power to be supplied via slave cable (thanks for the idea WildChild467). Thank you for pic fix.

Looking to add a rear winch to my 925. Considering to mount the same front winch, at the rear, between the frame rails and just ahead of the last frame cross tie. Have a decent lead on a winch, but it does not include a hydraulic motor. How much do these hydro motors typically sell for...

For those that run 16.00's on their M939's, do you correct the speedo accuracy? Meaning, is a different cable side gear available to set it correctly as compared to the 14.00's? Not sure what the 16.00's came on, but there must be at least a choice of 2 different driven gears since the A0's...

Time to add a bed crane to my 925A2. Would love a knuckle boom, but don't want the weight. So, that brings us to a bed mounted crane. I am so far considering this 2000lb galvanized unit, and replace the hand crank winch with a powered one. Looking for ideas of what others have done/used...

Want to add an overhead curved LED light bar to my 925A2, but the widest (eBay) ones seem to be about 50"-53". That is shy of the 66" cab width and may look kind of goofy. So, I am thinking about purchasing two of the smaller, say 33" light bars, and simply mounting them end-to-end. Most of...

Anybody know the recommended max and absolute do-not-exceed driving angle? For example, when driving along the side of a hill. I hope to install an angle indicator, and use it accordingly. Guessing it to be different per vehicle type (less for wrecker, for example).

So, when I use the washers, the bottle pressurization pops the metal ring up and off the bottle. Vent in the top plate is clear and working. Anybody resolve this fairly easily without switching to electric? Thanks.

Have an M925A2. Purchased and need to replace the windshield gaskets/seals. These are the ones which are 3 sided (like a square "U"), and seal the moveable windshield glass frame when the windshield glass panel is in the closed position. Basic question is if you can sneak it into the groove...

Quick latching and locking fuel cap. This is the fill cap from an above ground fuel storage tank. Has a seal, is quick to remove/install, and has a locking provision. ANS Distributing is one company which sells these. Select tank valves, fittings, and accessories, then top seal fill caps...

For just under $200 (free delivery), the Curt U-weld kit #15902 is a side plate mount and allows one to keep their pintle. Pic below of the #15902 I installed on my M925A2 last night. It has a class V rating @ 15,000lb tow capacity and 1500lb tongue weight. The side plates are 5/16" thick and...

Ordered 4" cut-out from DMH performance. Having the wye pipe TIG welded into the exhaust pipe along the straight run below the passenger side floor, before the muffler but post-turbo. Undecided where to run the short dump pipe to.... Marking and removing pipe this weekend, and dropping off...

Wanted to share a quick story about insuring an M925A2 for legal road usage in MI. After being declined by several companies due to their not knowing what type of vehicle, or saying they don't insure those types of vehicles, or my driving record not being stellar (average one ticket per year)...

Anybody know the procedure to check and advance the injection timing on our specific 6CTA8.3 engines? Also, I believe the GSK kit from a 5.9L will work in these engines with a slightly lower result? Does anybody have a source of stronger valve springs and a head stud kit for the 8.3? I would...
