    Question for cold weather starting

    I have a M931A1 and a 923A2 the first with the old 250 motor and the other with the new style 8.3 turbo. The 250 in the 900 series has ether ton aid. I have seen water heaters attached to the heater system but not a block heater. I would think cummins offers one. The 250 is a hard starter in...

    M923a1--can i use 10-30 oil in trans

    By the injection pump where the gas cable hooks up to a type of cam you will see a cable befind this going down to the trans. Remove this and screw it out so there is more play.

    Rust on my 923A2

    WOW this make me feel better. I thought this was with European trucks and not USA. Its a shame the US goverment paid for this shoddy work. Left is the before. Look at the tape they used as back filler support! I cut out all the "cancer" welded in stainless steel and covered it with fiber glass.
