So those "nubs" I'm seeing on your pipe posts, did you weld those one? They look stock so well done. What are they? Were they a custom fab? I'll test fit mine tonight and see if I need to lower them. I'm thinking its a good idea - would be a shame to rake them off. Thanks.

Thanks! That helps a lot. I think I'm in trouble with height but I did measure my shop door and it's 11'6". We'll see when I fit everything up. I also see I might have to make some small changes for my soft top. Thanks again, Al Jones

Ya , I'll bet you score one of your super duper deals and pic one up for less than $100!

Any chance you can post pictures? Also, have you put a tape measure on the lowered height? I'm getting nervous that they might be too high for my shop doors. I hope 11 feet is enough. Thanks for the heads up on the ubolts. I wondered about that. Also, what's the deal with the directions...

Google the NSN off the box and there are several kits out there for sale. The P/N 12301057 will also lead you there. Al Jones '84 M923

Santa was was more generous to me that I deserved and brought this: I'm going to install it on this: So the question is, do I leave it green or paint it tan prior to install? Anyone with a tan truck have convoy lights installed? What color is your hardware? I have the paint but I...

From Minot over the summer: Al Jones

A renaissance man indeed!!! Al Jones 84 M923

I bought mine from Memphis as well. I thought they were high quality units. I followed the TM and sealed the zippers and let them set over night, and then mounted. The TM calls for safety wire, especially at the torque of the retaining rings (which is very low). Note with proper safety wire...

Here it is. Al Jones

The heat was coming from underneath the truck, combination of exhaust (minor given the pipe is at the top of the box) and motor. Not sure what the question is regarding the grommets. The relocation box only requires one huge one for the slave receptacle. Al Jones '84 M923

Subscribed. :popcorn: Best of luck.

Not if it's stock. Standard 60 amp alt. has the VR on the back of the unit. Use search for lots of info. It sounds like the alt. ran wide open to boil the batteries over. That means the brushes grounded out to do that. Pull the unit, then the VR and decide if its fixable. The VR is...

Geeze, do you eat off that thing? Talk about clean! Al Jones Dirty Filthy 84 M923

Yes, shipping the one I bought did make my wallet scream but it was something that floated to the top of my must-do list. My back can't take bending over those batteries under the seat. I drove the M923 to the corner gas station yesterday and I think the Dexron III makes it shift easier. Up...

I drained the trans and replaced with Dexron III, ran the truck for awhile, then drained again, replaced the filters (kinda messy) and replaced the fluid again. The goal obviously to dilute as much of the EO as as possible. I need to test drive it and will let you know if I can "feel" a...

I bought my NAPA one on ePay for about $15 (same one above). It works SUPER! My M923 will start cold but it takes lots of cranking and throttle. If I plug the block heater in for a couple hours, I swear it starts in less than one crank. It's worth it. I'll do some testing this winter when...

Google the MIL spec for the grease type. You'll see lots of civy equivalents, many from your FLAPS. Happy greasing! Also, check out the Lube Order (LO) and it will also answer your second question. Al Jones '84 M923 '70 M35A2 (a sweetie for sale) '55 M38A1
