M923A2 Compressor Noise
- Thread starter fpchief
- Start date
Some A2 fans operate without air pressure to them. Some operate with air. It depends on the type of clutch brand it has.
In that case, we need documentation of both so I can edit, and maybe make a sticky

thanks. ill looks further when i get off my hitch.
why would one think you are yelling? doesn't everyone know CAPS is to denote a significant phrase, word or so forth, so as to not misunderstand, miss it or whatever?
Since caps is generally yelling in the internet world, sometimes folks think I’m yelling

Nope. If it comes on when the air tanks are empty then its a NO shutterstat.
The m915 series trucks share the same NO shutterstat 1047-36000-30 as some m939A2s
M923A2 Fan Clutch Repair - Any Clutch Gurus Out There?
The fan on my M923A2 was running all the time and I thought it was a bad shutter stat. I put in a new shutter stat and that was not the problem. (Yes, I know I should have tested it first) I then removed the fan clutch and took it apart yesterday. I found that the thrust cap inside the clutch...

you know what they say, "thought nit, thought he farted but he @#%$". that is bc they are overly sensitive. i sometimes type all caps. I'm blind in 1 eye, can't see out the other, and opposite for hearing, can't hear out of 1 and deaf in the other. i use caps to help me format small font cells and forget to turn it off, then folks on another forum think I'm yelling. i just keep it going then, just to stir the proverbial pot.Since caps is generally yelling in the internet world, sometimes folks think I’m yelling

but, hey, thanks for the info. that dan actuator is $200, so i'll harvest first then buy new if need be, and rebuild 1. where do you get the packings from? the ipc doesn't show o-rings, and since its a paozz cage code, its a throw away item to begin with.
Good new ones can be had as low as $80 on popular auction sites, and that thread I linked earlier gives info on the rebuild parts to order sir. I can’t dig through at the moment, but if you pay more than $100 for a brand new unit you’re overpaying

Just let mine get up to temp, brought it back home and let it idle building more heat. Got to 220 and no fan. Reckon I need to rebuild it or replace. I have o-ring sets so will try if rebuilding works first.
Before you tear it down, take a thermal gun and shoot the pipe where that threads in, just to rule out a sensing unit misreading

I should have pulled and tested my thermostat when I did my coolant...
He is referring to the shutterstat to ensure its reading the correct temp
8.3s have two thermostats
Some do and some don’t, my truck did not and had a 3 or 4 piece housing i can’t remember. Crazy the minor variations

Yea, but the thermostats could cause the temps to be wrong at the shutter stat correct?
205 thermostat. If its open you will know it.
Temp sensor is on the block down near the lower hose. Shoot that with the temp gun first compared to your gauge

Yesterday took it out and ran it pretty good. Then idled down my road trying to build heat. Gauge got to around 230 but shooting the area around the sending unit was around 195....I think. Kinda crowded down there. Looks like my gauge may be off alot. I just want the thermostat to open so I can get good heat to upper pipe to check shutterstat.
