    5 ton test bed.

    Is that a turbo or non turbo engine? I have a 84' M923 that is non turbo and have been seriously thinking about adding a turbo. The main reason is to add horsepower for any kind of incline. My truck is done at 55. I would like to go at least 60. Any thoughts?

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Looks exactly how mine did. I just hope since I completely dissected the cooling system it won't look like that in October when I plan on replacing the coolant again!

    Buying a Bobbed 5 ton questions

    I think the best thing you could do is to call your Grandmother that is being very nice of her to let you live in her house and speak with her about you purchasing an MV and parking it there. Next if that doesn't work then you need to fend for yourself and rent/buy a home of your own. I will...

    Buying a Bobbed 5 ton questions

    The only thing I can tell you is that a truck without turbo (like mine) is very slow, exceptionally slow up any kind of grade without 2 mile run at it.But I do like the NHC 250 motor. It does produce everything that I want out of it. Although I must mention, I bought a MV not a muscle car so...

    Yet More coolant issues! 84' M923

    Well this is what I came up with. I'm pretty sure it's a long term "cheap" solution. I have a total of $9 bucks in it right now, but that will go over $40 when I buy the replacement solenoid for the air horn. I also would like to get a back up in case this one fails. I just couldn't help my self...

    Yet More coolant issues! 84' M923

    Thanks Gents. I'm not sure why I didn't say this earlier, but if you look at the picture of the actuator you can see a tiny drop of coolant coming out of the pin hole. I also noticed that when the truck was cooling down, coolant would blow out of that hole with air! It also appeared that coolant...
