    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Tbar, The block heater needs the gland nut tightened, remove the electrical connector and tighten the nut. I have found these assembled loose from the manufacture. You may have to remove the unit to get it tight. Otherwise, the oil filter adapter looks great. JC

    Battery charger for a 923

    Don't have the manufacture name handy. Saw a the same kit for sale earlier this week a that popular auction site. It was under M939 parts. There is one installed on my M35 I recently got out of WRAFB, it still works also.

    Battery charger for a 923

    If it's parked outside, the solar charger works well. My 925 came with one installed during a 2008 rework. Still works today. No extension cords, charges when the sun is out or in light clouds.

    M1102 "bouncing" issue

    Back to the bounce issue, lower tire pressure to reduce bounce, 35 psi is way to high, try 15-17 psi if the trailer is empty.

    Problems with swapping oil in a 923/925 transmission with synthetic?

    Ryan, Don't over think the issue. 10w40 works great, 10w hyd fluid works great for the cold. Change the filter and look at the color of the fluid, most likely will still be clear/amber. More important is to ensure the tran vent is open and not obstructed. Also, make sure the truck warms up after...

    M101A1 aftermarket LED lights

    Several trailer build threads on this site. Do a little search. Pretty cool how some of the mil. trailers end up completely dialed in for alternate use.
