I've got a m923a2 8.3 I picked up from the auction a while back. The idler arm was disconnected, didnt think much of it. Replaced a leaking line, tried to bleed out. With the motor off (no pump) its easy to turn the wheels lock to lock. With the motor running, its almost impossible to turn...
Fixed!
Clamped the return line, still wouldnt restart. Replaced the transfer pump, works perfect! Here is the test for the transfer pump, if after priming the truck you cant get it to make the swish swish noise at the injector pump, the transfer pump isnt moving enough diesel.
Now on to...
M923A2 I just picked up will run with vigorous pumping of the transfer pump and ether while cranking. Will stay running no problem for as long as I want, even idle. If I shut it off and immediately try to restart it, it will crank and not fire at all, not even a little, same is true if I wait...
Ok, made it from Barstow to Chandler! Average speed was about 45mph! Longest hottest drive ever! So Truck 1 everything functions as it should BUT when I shut it off, it wont fire again. It will crank and if I hit it with ether while someone is pumping the primer it starts again. Truck 2 is...
What the F is wrong with this website! My login session lasts about 5 seconds!
I have the light kit for the truck in tow. I will uncage the brakes and if they are functioning, will leave them uncaged.[thumbzup]
Dont everyone get all heated FFS, Im not trying to kill anyone with an army truck...
The site keeps telling me in not logged in every time I try to post a reply....
He's got the socket to take those off, I will remove them and see if the brakes function properly. Do these 5 tons have the hand controller for the trailer air supply like a regular over the road tractor? So can...
I appreciate the offer! Ive got a fella up here named Bill in Mesa that buys and tows these things all the time, Im going by to see him and borrow his bar, chains, air lines, and lights in about an hour.
Ok, thanks for the info everyone. It lead me to the right answer. I just bought 2 5 tons in Barstow and was noticing this. I am very mechanically inclined, but not familiar with brake canisters, as I have never ventured there, I pay to have brake work done. So it makes sense they are caged...
Im picking up 2 m923a2's in Barstow, anyone have anything they need brought back to Phoenix/Chandler?
Im pulling 1 with the other, so cant drag another truck but could manage a trailer or something that fits in the back. Also, leaving Chandler Friday at 3am to head out there if you need a...
Unexpected financial obligations require me to sell this thing ASAP. I paid $6892 with tax. The truck is in Chandler. Here is the link to the auction

So, as I suspected that was an adventure. 115 miles outside of Vegas, had a right front tire blow out. Had a service truck come out and swap for the spare. About 80 miles later, ran out of diesel, my fault. Switched the gauge over, but not the valve to the other tank. Towed it 60 miles at...
Thanks for the offers guys! Im hoping its uneventful, Ill be at Nellis @ 9am tomorrow to pick it up. I also picked up one of the tow bars so I can drag it off the highway if it has any issues. I dont think my F250 diesel would be very happy with me if I attempted to stop while pulling the M931...
I need to pick up / have picked up my M931A2 from Nellis this upcoming Tuesday or Thursday. I was planning on driving up with my dad in my f250 and driving it home. Is anyone else getting a truck from Nellis back to Phoenix or Tucson? Id be willing to pick it up for you, or possibly pay you...
