    Air valve(s) located at drivers entry step on M931A2?

    Look at book TM 9-2320-272-23-5, fold outs (number 6 or 7 maybe) it has a complete air schematic. They are brake valves etc. EDIT: Sorry, Just saw Drew posted just before me.

    solar panels on a 923

    They provide more charge than you think. I left dash lights on my M923A0 for a week and a half while out of town, and the batteries had a full charge when I realized it and tried to start the truck. I wish my new truck had them.......

    5-Ton Cargo Cover Installation

    Once you figure out front and back; lay it out. Fold it up from the sides toward the center, but all your folds should be on the outside of the cover. Once both sides meet in the center, fold it in end toward the center a couple if times. Like folding up a stuck of gum. Once you have the neatly...

    Changes to the classifeds

    Can questions comments be posted anonymously ? At least that would prevent the undermining. Obviously the mods would know who it was should it be questionable in its content.

    Changes to the classifeds

    This is a proven concept. More and more people are breaking the rules with in needed comments, offers, and other items. Even the wanted ads. These become a pseudo auction. Everybody who has the part wanted publicly offers the part at a price. Then the next person undercuts. It's a race to the...

    5 ton used as fire truck

    That truck wasn't bobbed, it was broken. Not a fan of bobbing personally, but that was definately not the problem on this one.

    brake question for new m923 operator

    The spring brake over ride's "prime" function is an emergency air supply to quickly move the truck from immediate danger after a complete loss of air. it uses a discreet tank. For instance you lose air and stopped in an intersection, railroad tracks, fire fight, etc....hit that button in, and...

    M923a2 oils

    First of all, the 10W40 is a "proper" oil for the transmission. I just recently left a heavy duty OEM and we installed Allison transmissions behind Cummins engines every day with 15W40 as that was spec'd by the end user, and authorized by Allison. It had no effect on warranty at all. Is it the...

    Won M925 need Mentor, Fortworth to Sherman Tx 95 miles (Truck Runs?)

    Kudos for not just jumping in and racing away, and asking for a companion. For starting always remember up-up, down-down. Thats how I was trained. When you turning them on (up) the up switch goes first, when you are turning them off (down) the down switch goes first.

    M817 Belt Tightening Question

    Construction, There are (6) screws on the water pump ring. Loosen them and use a prybar, held by a helper if they are available, to tighten the belt to the proper tension. Once the tension is held with the pry bar, tighten the (6) screws. You may see some leakage from the water pump depending...

    B&M shift kit transmission question??

    I parted a 1009 that had one of these kits installed in a fresh rebuild. I really liked the way it drove and shifted, so much that I kept the trans for eventual install in my 1009. If they are installed correctly in a operationaly correct tranny the results are really good.

    M939 Won't build air pressure

    Well the only hole with that theory is that the Air Dryer is excluded from the outside air supply system by a one-way check valve at the wet tank. The emergency air supply feed goes directly into the wet tank. This still hasn't tested the air dryer/spitter valve. Although a head gasket, or...
