As for paint it was ground down then re sprayed! So I guess that’s a plus

Well my initial drawing to the welder fab guy was like most, side of the frame run grade 8 bolts as well as welding to 4x4 square tubing. I’ll be towing a 9-10k camper to the beach and back about 2 miles round trip but some rough areas through sand. Expectations were not met but he said if I can...

Currently it’s for going 1 mile to the beach and back.. not long haul towing. I was a little concerned with going directly on the bottom of the frame and not on the side giving each weld 4x the amount of welding for the hitch. I appreciate the input and will send it back to the fab guy. I would...

Looking for some advice from people who have done it! This is my 923 and we had someone fab up and weld on a hitch. This is what was done. Does it look strong enough to tow a 10k trailer? Thanks in advance for anyone’s reply!

Good morning! I got my coolant flush done this weekend. I thought my truck was getting hot (it wasnt) I actually had bad grounding at both the trans gauge and the engine gauge. (verified with thermal gun) When i would push them against the mounting surface it would drop to normal temps. I ended...

Good morning again sir! sorry to bug you with all these easy questions ha, if my tstat is bad and not opening would that cause my shutter stat to not open? I was curious if that may be the case because I see the shutter stat is on that upper radiator hose and if that t stat doesnt open maybe its...

Just doing quick research is there anyway to tell if I have the single thermo or double? I see yours is the single.

Im thinking possibly my t stat is out then or my coolant is the issue, the other day running down to the lake (1-2 miles) i was running 200+ pretty easily on both engine and trans. fan wasnt on so im thinking I have both the S stat is out, coolant needs flushed, and possibly a tstat all at the...

Morning sir! I noticed you pulled your shutter stat in your last picture. I've been trying to remember if my fan has ever kicked on and i don't think it has. Could you point me in the right direction of the location of the shutter stat? Did you end up cleaning/rebuilding yours by chance? I can't...

Copy that! No block heater for us. Typically we only get as low as 25 at night and that usually follows 50 during the day. We also only use these in the summer. I really appreciate all the info and help! I’ll update you this weekend on how it went.

Copy that! Thank you sir! I guess lastly, did you follow the TM in regards to coolant/water mix rates? Looks like you said in the first post 16qts for 0 degrees (that’ll be a record where my 5 ton is so I’d say that’s a good gauge for me as well) or did you go 50/50? ha no HOA where she’s at...

Copy that, did you need any special tools etc? I live 2 hours from my 5 ton so I have to plan accordingly! Oh, one thing I forgot to ask about was burping the system. Did you leave the surge tank cap off to burp or what process did you use? Thanks for the quick reply!

Morning gents, I'm about to start this flush process and I read the TM as well as all 5 pages of this thread. I just want to verify my process is correct before i jump into this project. I have an 87' M923A2. After draining from both sides of the radiator, use distilled water/garden hose to...

Good morning everyone! My buddy and I own a matching set of M923a2’s and just acquired 6 16.00r20s on HEMMT rims. Now we need 8 more to have a full set and spares. My Questions: will the HEMMT rims mount straight onto the truck (deleting CTIS when doing this) ? If they don’t, what needs to be...
