    5 Ton Locking Fuel Cap, Easy

    It is a 4" pipe thread, so it will fit anything equipped as so. If one had a short piece of 4" pipe with thread welded to the opening of a Deuce tank, it would work.

    5 Ton Locking Fuel Cap, Easy

    Google 4" EVR, and it will show up. I did a fuel tank upgrade at work, so this was headed to the scrap pile. Looks like the brass ring and cap are $40 each, but if somebody drains your 81g tank at $4/gallon, or pours something into it which shuts you off in the middle of the road, it becomes...

    5 Ton Locking Fuel Cap, Easy

    Quick latching and locking fuel cap. This is the fill cap from an above ground fuel storage tank. Has a seal, is quick to remove/install, and has a locking provision. ANS Distributing is one company which sells these. Select tank valves, fittings, and accessories, then top seal fill caps...

    Another Hitch Thread, Curt #15902 U-Weld It Kit

    For just under $200 (free delivery), the Curt U-weld kit #15902 is a side plate mount and allows one to keep their pintle. Pic below of the #15902 I installed on my M925A2 last night. It has a class V rating @ 15,000lb tow capacity and 1500lb tongue weight. The side plates are 5/16" thick and...

    4" Electric Exhaust Dump on M925A2

    Respectable opinion. Thanks, I'll consider it if the routing is reasonable.

    4" Electric Exhaust Dump on M925A2

    Easy, just open or close the valve after it is installed. The DMH valve was supposed to have the best design, sealing, and warranty of them. When I hold the valve up to a light, I see zero light shining through. The butterfly actually seals against a ledge on both sides. I had an M35A2 for a...

    4" Electric Exhaust Dump on M925A2

    Ordered 4" cut-out from DMH performance. Having the wye pipe TIG welded into the exhaust pipe along the straight run below the passenger side floor, before the muffler but post-turbo. Undecided where to run the short dump pipe to.... Marking and removing pipe this weekend, and dropping off...

    M939 transfer case air lines installed wrong

    I don't believe mine to be correct on my M925A2. Though I have not actually looked yet, when I have the transmission in neutral, and I depress the transfer case shift lever button (still in T-case Hi range), the truck softly jumps forward about 4 inches, and I can repeat this. The transfer case...

    So who has bumped the power on a 6CTA cummins

    I am also looking for sources of 8.3 performance parts. Haisley machine seems to have the best rated GSK's for 5.9's, but if the Pac's have proven like just did, then I may go with them. I'm also looking for stiffer valve springs, head stud kit, bigger injectors, HX50 turbo, remove the after...

    Weekend project: M931A2 straight pipe

    Wanting both, I just ordered a 4" electric cutout and stainless Y pipe from DMH performance today for my M925A2. Valve will go below passenger door, with a short piece of stainless pipe to route the diverted outlet to the edge of the door. Stay tuned....literally.

    So who has bumped the power on a 6CTA cummins

    Wrong thread, and wrong category. Request to move, and not interested in male orifices. As others said, shoot some ether down the intake and crank it. If the engine fires, this at least tells you mechanically it is fine. Your fuel may be water (within). When mixed, it is hard to tell...

    Insurance Success Story for M925A2 in MI, With Contact Info

    Wanted to share a quick story about insuring an M925A2 for legal road usage in MI. After being declined by several companies due to their not knowing what type of vehicle, or saying they don't insure those types of vehicles, or my driving record not being stellar (average one ticket per year)...

    M923 trans trouble

    ? Complaining about improper English, while using improper English to do so, seems inappropriate to me. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Capital_letters#All_caps

    Oil change nightmare!

    Coolant eats the plating off of bearings. You should plan to do at least the rods and mains, as they should be reasonably inexpensive. I'd be worried about the cam bearings also, but that probably requires engine removal to do. Judge it by how the rod and main bearing journal surfaces look...

    Draining Fuel Filter - M923a2

    I have an M925A2 (Cummins 8.3L), with both small and large filters. My large filer does the same gurgling if opened, and as others have said, yes, when you push the Schrader valve at the top, the canister drains quickly. This small amount of air in both filters seems to have no effect if your...

    New M931A2 - advice needed

    I'm on the minority side, as I say drive it. "Bring a CDL driver" is good advice, if you can do it. Tools, fluids, flashlights, zip ties, charged cell phone, Garmin, and a $1000 worth of magnetic buying power (charge card). Get a 12V outlet with alligator clips on the ends and connect it to...

    M923A2 Starting issues

    This should be fairly simple. Begin at the starter. It should have 3 connection points to it (but possibly more than 3 wires total). Grounds on the very back of the starter which go directly to battery "-", positive cable on the starter solenoid which goes directly to battery "+", and a...
