    AC install on 923A2

    You're doing great. Mount the compressor, condenser, and evaporator. Connect all 3 with hoses. Goes from compressor outlet to condenser, then from condenser to evaporator, finally from evaporator back to compressor. There will he a small black can called an accumulator on either side of the...

    M813 ECB bypass

    I believe there is a small difference between the PCB for an 800 v 900 series truck. Maybe you were given the wrong PCB?

    Anyone have photos behind the doghouse of the 923?

    Yep, that is with the doghouse removed. The doghouse is the actual cover over that area when normally assembled. I didn't know they made 2 different ones. That is good to know in case I ever put a real engine in my 925A2.

    7th times the charm?

    Yes, meaning it is not temperature compensated. The common old stock 60 amp military alternators are manually adjustable though. Don't go higher than 28.8v or you will be boiling acid. Go lower in hotter climates. Anything over 25.6v is charging. 26.8v is fine, it is working.

    7th times the charm?

    Wow, nice alternator! That's a 130 amp unit. Cute starter too. What's up with the winch cable? Drum only goes one way? This is why I want a control out front also, so it can be wound back up with a single operator. That alternator has a temperature compensated voltage regulator inside of...

    Anyone have photos behind the doghouse of the 923?

    OK, I'll be non-sarcastic for once in my life. The doghouse of a truck is the front center floor area where it is raised up for transmission clearance.

    AC install on 923A2

    Member Rustystud over in the M35a2 department has the win on this so far. His treasure trove is from floor to ceiling lights with all sorts of goodies. First thing I spotted was an old carburetor type automotive air filter housing, the classic type with a snorkle sticking out of the side of...

    1989 M923A2 MRAP Aluminum Wheels.

    The aluminum wheel + magnetic drill part doesn't make sense to me, but it looks like you got it to work.

    M939A2 5 Ton No Start / No run

    I am not an 800 expert, but it should if it work the same. On an M939, the PCB ha 2 solenoids in it. One is for dash power, and the other is for starter engagement power feed (so dash switch is low current). For the dash battery power solenoid in the PCB, you simply connect a large wire...

    AC install on 923A2

    Unsure why, but nearly half of the folks that bought them so far have done the same exact thing. I probably need to either make them the size of a mattress, or charge $3000 for them. Either may help, case by case.

    The wood structure in blue.

    M939A2 5 Ton No Start / No run

    It can. I took an old PCB, removed the bottom connector, and jumpered the power solenoid wire on it. If mine ever goes to lunch unexpectedly, I can simply unplug my PCB and plug this jumpered connector in and everything will work. My gear reduction starter has a relay on it so it only needs...

    AC install on 923A2

    You need to stand back further when you take pics so we can better assess the treasures in your garage. All I could get out of it was a Goodyear A2 and a headlight trim ring.

    M939A2 5 Ton No Start / No run

    Yep to both. You can rebuild yours with 2 new 24v solenoids as another option.

    M936 Hydraulic oil overheat

    One of the hydraulic circuits are likely stuck on. Either partially or fully. Check each and every one of them individually. Maybe something like an outrigger, etc.... The only way to really heat fluid that hot is to be compressing it. I'd run each circuit to their half way point, and then...

    Tailgate lift assist using spring hinges... with photos!

    Back to the gate springs. Has it been checked yet that the gate can hang nearly straight down if just one spring is used?

    Tailgate lift assist using spring hinges... with photos!

    igm is being polite for once in his life. You were smart enough to check the pic file name huh? Guess good things are happening in FL. What igm is referring to is I recently upgraded my starter to one of my own gear reduction units on my 925A2. Being lazy, I chose not to disconnect the...

    fuel shut off solenoid question

    The main pull coil (not hold coil) inside it is getting weak when hot. Make sure the connection for it is clean and tight at both the starter motor (small wire going to actual starter motor body) and its own 3 pin connector. Also would not hurt to clean the main ground junction point at the...
