    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Installed a 24volt 7" color monitor & two CCD color cameras (one in the front and one in the back). Also wired in a digital 5-40v voltage meter (still have to mount it and tidy up the wiring as it got dark on me) and also moved the solar panel of the PulseTech charger/desulfator to the middle...

    Mntsnow's recovery and building of The Beast

    Gunzy, I'm sure it's not the CTIS. I've seem to have developed yesterday a semi-slow leak in the primary air side (leaks down upon shutdown of the truck within 20-30 mins) where as the secondary side holds pressure for hours. But I have also started venting air pressure into the intake stack...

    Sorry....but I did just get delivered a 24volt 7" color monitor with 2 color CCD instead of CMOS cameras for the beast. Will make backing up without soldier B around a good bit easier & safer. Hope to get them installed today & or tomorrow. Also have to track down why I just started getting a...

    Mntsnow's recovery and building of The Beast

    Sorry for the delay but work has been crazy lately but I finally got a day off and currently in between rain storms right now so I was able to get some photos of the bed mounted hoist. In a couple of pictures you can see I trimmed off the outside seat slat which allows me to keep the troop...

    M923 just bought, wonder about mileage

    Which way are you planning on driving home? There are a couple of us in the SLC area if you get into a bind

    M923 just bought, wonder about mileage

    I assume you got these thru GL? If so you can post the link to them in hopes of getting more detailed replies... usually during a "rebuild/overhaul" it is very common for the odometer &/or hour meters to be reset/replaced back to zero.

    what does the mulimeter show for voltage when you turn the key on and or to the start position?

    M923A2 Air Brake Pressure Issues

    Sounds like your compressor is not compressing which can be either a incorrectly adjusted governor or a faulty compressor itself.

    m925 wont start

    Jim, Your mistaken. The motor in the truck that Olpa77 linked to is the NHC 250 cummins The GL listing has incorrect info in it...but the pictures show the NHC 250.

    Mntsnow's recovery and building of The Beast

    I'll try and grab some for you tomorrow if the weather is good it was a bit to dark for my cellphone camera when we finished up as it was our last project for the day. As for under the bed bracing the package included two lengths of heavy 2 inch "angle iron" that were pre-drilled and I used...

    Mntsnow's recovery and building of The Beast

    My son came up to spend some time with me so we spend the afternoon working on "The Beast" as my wife calls it. Got my Locking door handles installed today...3 of the 4 original Phillips screws were totally stripped out so I ended up having to drill out the heads to get the original handles...
