    5TID's M923A2 ROPS build thread

    Actually the 395s decrease egt because of less rolling resistance and more torque applied to the ground aka better gear ratio. I currently cruise about 1000 on the highway for reference.

    5TID's M923A2 ROPS build thread

    Turning up the fuel on the 8.3 is a very rewarding thing. I did it on my m932a2 and love it. One thing to note however, is that you are going to quickly learn that the 8.3 loves to make heat. I can reach 1300 cruising on the highway (fairly flat but some hills) at 67mph on 395 mv/t and 2 clicks...

    84’ M1009 Glow plugs

    I like your point here. Question. I am "can open the hood" kind of guy. I daily drive a m1008 and it has a manual glow plug momentary button. When it is anywhere between 50-65 degrees outside it takes a good 10 seconds of glow plugs to get it to fire off. I have been assuming I should look into...

    Newbie, need info on this truck, questions

    The ctis system often doesn’t work but is usually only due to a very minor issue. Not a super complicated system and I enjoy my ctis very much. Working in fields that may get soft I would suspect you would want ctis too. You would probably like a m923a2 or a m927a2.

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    I believe he meant to write 7.8/2 is 3.9 which is the ratio before 2:1 reduction.

    M939A2 Shifting issues

    On diesels you can’t tell any lack of fuel unless you have almost none until you get boost. A boost guage will tell you how much power you are actually making.

    M35A3 CTIS

    Check to see if your controller lights are activated by the headlight switch. Late model m939 controllers did not show any signs of life until the headlights were turned on. Wouldn't the wheel valves hold the air in the tires individually until 7psi pop off pressure is hit? From my experience...

    Lmtv CTIS PCU Solenoid PN

    I swapped my parts truck solenoids in and it works now and they are open loop on volt meter. Definitely bad solenoid.
