    NHC 250 Turbo Conversion in M923

    I'll summarize my thoughts on the whole project looking back that far: The following statement is going to hurt some feelings... In short summary the NHC-250 is a waste of time and money to attempt to squeeze more power out of. If you want it reliable and simple leave it alone. If you...

    Looking for a TM for a Skytrak 6000M

    Its a burned resistor on the board out behind the forks. The rubber seal was bad and the box was full of stink bugs, I'm guessing it caused a short.

    Educate me on the dump...the M929 / M930

    Here’s a couple shots of the M929 dump hoist system. They use a dual cylinder design with a roller ramp system to assist with the initial lifting, which is the hardest part. I had a fellow tell me the rear tailgate in ”rock” position is designed to be able to knock down the dumped pile while...

    GOVPLANET/USMC latest EUC times?

    Just figured I'd chime in with a "recent" purchase which required an EUC clearance. My last truck was bought in July of 2019. After multiple phone calls, months, more excuses (government has an additional 4 week backlog to advertised times), more phone calls, I received my EUC in the second week...

    M923 Dump Conversion with 8" dual stacks

    Maybe later when it stops snowing I could go out and snap a few of the hinges. They came with the kit I purchased. I know alot of guys would like to hear it run, but i dont really know a good way to record it and post it. I'm not that computer savy!

    M923 Dump Conversion with 8" dual stacks

    Hi guys I have not been around the forums in a while, sorry I haven't responded. Yes I still own the truck and use it on a regular basis, just the other day I ran it all day on my property moving dirt and stumps. After hauling stone, dirt, stumps and mulch with it the only regrets I have is not...

    1500 max rpm? nhc 250

    Not sure why such sarcasm has to be used when someone is asking for help. aua And to clairfy the governor springs has nothing to do with fuel pressure, this is controlled by the button. The governor spring and shims limit the high speed side of the pump. I would turn the screw all the ways...

    1500 max rpm? nhc 250

    After reading through this post and noting some of the insults that have been thrown around I will attempt to help anyway. I cannot help you with the pump cpl numbers and such but if you did take off the governor spring cover and pull the assembly out there are color coded stripes on the main...

    Help with truck Id

    Have to say I think these trucks are awesome and probably really nice to drive with all the creature comforts inside. However that being said the new trucks and new EPA guidelines seem to be making these motors very unreliable now. I go into many truck repair shops for my job and most problems...

    Those tires look good on your truck. How do they run on the road? Any shakes or wobbles?

    NHC 250 Turbo Conversion in M923

    I seeing a max of 14 psi. Truck is running pretty clean with really no smoke, but it pulls better. Can't wait to get my other buttons to add some fuel :grin: Here's the new autometer guages mounted on the column with autometer mounting pods. They use a standard hose clamp to mount to the...

    NHC 250 Turbo Conversion in M923

    Also for anyone who cares to know about the governor spring and shims: "each .001 inch shim thickness will change the speed approximately 2 rpm. Shims are available in .005, .010, .020 thickness. If over .150 shims are required, replace the spring." From talking to some of my truck guys they...

    NHC 250 Turbo Conversion in M923

    I got the gauge mounted in the new pod on the column with the pyro, it's hooked up but the light is not wired in yet. I will shoot a pic tomorrow and post it. They both look good mounted there, are easy to see, and I did not have to cut any holes to mount them. I just got my hands on a...

    818 now with turbo and pics.

    I pulled the covers and plugged mine with the 5/16 Allen set screws available at my local hardware store, but I must say prior to tapping them I attempted to poke a wire down the hole and it felt like it bottomed out. The holes had oil in them so I could not see down it anyway. I am not so sure...

    818 now with turbo and pics.

    The fuel button is located inside the governor spring cover directly at the rear of the injection pump. There is a square cover on the back, it should still have safety wire on the bolts, and you will see a pipe plug on the hump of the cover. You need to remove the 4 bolts and carefully remove...
