M923 power steering belt size?

[EmeryAndCompany]

Good Morning!

my two belts got thrown on my power steering pulley. Does anyone know the appropriate size for a 1984 Cummins m923?

Don't know if the belts you are looking for are on this spreadsheet but they may be at the bottom. There should be a sticky with this guys spreadsheet.

If it is a NHC250 then 17470 is the belts

Has to be nhc250. 8.3s don't have power steering belts

You don't need a power steering belt to drive either so keep on going till you get home. Then worry about it. Not on the side of the road

1984 isn't an A2.

Albert's post quoted here is the correct info.

Yeah I just happen to know my mobile mechanic was close by, we found the belts sizes and are in the process of replacing! Thanks all.

I was able to turn the truck just fine but even at speed it was difficult, and I had a m35 that had no power steering and this was about 2-3 times as hard so got a little nervous!!

You are right about that. That happened to me on my M925 and I was on I10 headed home from a MV display. Towed the truck home.

Not in my world, professionally inspected for safe operation every 6 months and call in the experts when something goes wrong. I am no expert. Preventative maintenance per the manual on the weekends. I’m lucky to have a great mechanic, and have a business to run.

There’s a lot to know! Professionally inspected per the manual for safe operation and mechanically safe and sound for the road. It’s more reliable than most of my past 100,000+ mile vehicles so I treat it as a truck that I use daily, not as something I study and obsess about as a hobby. The more I use it, the more I fix, the more I learn. Safety is my focus with this truck!

Just because it is " professionally inspected" doesn't mean it won't fail. Seen NEW stuff fail on the dyno and road tests. Having "professionally" maintained an old MV, and driven it to the dirt, played 3 or 4 days and driven it home, hundreds of miles, I can tell you, you need to keep the small spares on hand, in the truck. Belts, AT LEAST a hose repair kit, bailing wire, fluids and tools. And have someone operating the vehicle that has a clue as o how to remedy the issue at hand. How much $ does it cost your business to rely on outside help that can be handled in the time it takes the help to arrive?

Just sayin'

Been there, done that.
