That's a very very interesting question! As a rule, even though I'm in a locked yard, I don't like to keep more than a quarter tank, to limit any potential loss. (Get a locking tank cap? Seriously!?!? That would presume that I can plan further than the end of my nose! :-P) I had just over 1/8...

I checked all the fluids about a month ago, and do a walk-around while the engine is warming to check for obvious leaks and haven't seen anything. In late October, the truck went right from the JBLM yard to a respected local truck mechanic in Lakewood for a complete head-to-toe review. It got...

tl;dr ... something broke, I need seem guidance/advice. M923A0, 24K miles and 29 hours on the clock (I presume since rebuild, but I don't know if it was a major or minor rebuild). The weather is finally starting to cooperate where I can count on a few hours of dryness to do some work. Bright...

That's excellent advice, I'll give it a shot! Thank you.

I'm brand new to this hobby and I know I'm smart enough to know when I'm not smart enough ... if you know what I mean. ;-} I won a M923 back in October, but pretty much just parked it once I got it home awaiting for the New Year so I could title it as a collector vehicle. It's stored a few...

I finally got my M923 registered, so I'd be up for a Sunday drive ... as soon as football is over! ;-}

Do you know who makes that?

It's a question of time. I might be a bit naive, but I ***thought*** blasting would be faster than sanding down to bare metal, especially since I'm going to be able to put in a half day here and there over a bunch of months getting it all ship-shape.

Thanks for the info. I'm going to keep my eye out for a good 'un ...

I hear ya about the decent weather! I've got all my gear ready to do some spot blasting/painting but every time I have a day off ... deluge!!! :lol: And thanks for the heads-up about not being able to tow a 3/4 ton. Any idea what type of trailer I should be on the lookout for?

Looks great! I'm jealous with a capital J. :-)

This is great info, thank you!!! I just bought a big ol' compressor thinking that I'd be either blasting or painting with it ... now I can do both. ;-}

I'm also inclined to blast it, but there's not a place close by to pay to do it, and if I want to rent the gear and try it myself, I've got to find some place indoors to store it and work on it! ;-}

As with FZRider, I posted this a day or so before the thread got closed but I'm still interested in the info. When I recovered the vehicle I found a documents binder in the rig that hinted it was at some time part of the Oregon NG. Thanks for the assistance. MAnders

Sorry I missed the parade. Best laid plans of mice & men ***some one*** - more than likely me but I'm gonna pretend it was gremlins!!! :p - left the battery switch on yesterday and when I went to power on this morning ... nothing!!! :-( Fun time lifting these four batteries out all by my...

Drats! I won't be able to make it. Sorry. Next time ...

Perfect! Presuming everything checks out once I recover it on Wednesday, I think I'll be able to make it. I'll confirm on Friday.

Hello to all! Leave it to me to get a big truck right before the rainy season starts. (Honest! We do have Sun in the PNW!!! Just not in November. ;-)) I've read through a bunch of the threads so I kinda sorta have a feel for the various general options, but I'm looking for some specific...

Can you give me a general idea on how long this event lasts? I really want to participate, but I've unfortunately got a work thing I need to be back in Redmond for at 1:45pm. If it typically wraps up no later than noon ... I'd have buckets of time to make it back!

Hello to all! I won a M923 auction from Ft. Lewis. I did a post-purchase inspection and the lights are questionable (hopefully just operator error!) and the wipers do not activate. Better safe than sorry, I'm planning on having it towed some place for a short time (1-2 weeks) until I can work...
