    My "new" M923A2 is sitting in the driveway

    Hold your horses here. I live on a flat table top dirt road; the truck -in its lifetime up here- will see less than 10 miles on it in the next ten years and yes, I have read all the posts about the ease of the way the roll over. This truck will spend most of its life parked next to my house. I...

    My "new" M923A2 is sitting in the driveway

    Thanks for the uplifting thought. I just got done with hassling with Carnac on the VIN discussion forum, and after that whole episode, I was re-thinking whether I was loosing my mind or I was just a run-of-the-mill dumb*ss. It appeared that he thought I was talking gibberish to him. Some people...

    My "new" M923A2 is sitting in the driveway

    I'm not questioning your advice, but why would the "run flat" mode air up the tires? I would think it would let the air out. Either way I will try what you suggested to see if I can figure out where the leak is.

    My "new" M923A2 is sitting in the driveway

    We are building a "neighborhood" brush fire truck. When I get it farther along (water cannon mounted behind cab) I will send pics. Currently it has a 1600 gallon poly tank on it with a bunch of 1.5 inch sprays, strategically placed all over the place. It is a "one man" fire department. A...

    My "new" M923A2 is sitting in the driveway

    And I have no clue about the mechanics of this thing. I may have bitten off more than I can chew.... this thing is massive. I live in the Truckee area, near Lake Tahoe. So who do I call to do repairs? Right now, it appears the CTIS is not working as my rear left tire keeps going flat. When I...

    FORSCOM should be F0RSC0M His description doesn't clarify letters in words is what trips everyone up.

    Carnac- can you please look at the info I provided and perhaps run it through your system? I have an appointment with the DMV on this coming Friday and I'd like to have as much info I as I can get for them. My posts were not intentioned to piss you off. I was just suggesting that the...

    I want to take off the CTIS on my newly purchased 1990 M923A2

    How do I get to the O ring? (if you would explain it in the simplest terms - as Carnac has found out, I obviously have a learning disability. Where do I find replacements? The truck was rehabbed in 2011, so I would think that whatever the problem is, it is minor.

    I get it that he gets frustrated- especially since he is doing this for free. But if he doesn't want to get torqued, he should make his instructions clearer. I purposely re-read the instructions literally dozens of times, because I kept wondering "why wouldn't anyone write down the numbers and...

    I want to take off the CTIS on my newly purchased 1990 M923A2

    I may need to take a picture so I can figure out exactly what to do to what. I am going out of town tomorrow for the weekend, but when I get back on Sunday I will post a pic and maybe you can direct me specifically what to cap.

    I want to take off the CTIS on my newly purchased 1990 M923A2

    I have spent several hours reading topics regarding the CTIS, but as of yet, have not found a step by step instruction on how to take the system off. I have one tire that continuously goes flat, yet there are no leaks on the tire. I will most likely use the truck only with the tires filled up to...

    2014 VIN Info Thread

    Carnac, I'd like to offer to help you clarify your requirements for people to submit info to you. As it is written, it is a bit confusing, especially since I am not coming from a military background, I have no clue about what you were inferring. If you clarify what is required, chances are your...

    2014 VIN Info Thread

    So are you saying that the military NEVER uses "O"'s or "I"'s in anything? Like the words p0pc0rn or 1soton1c? What I don't understand is the issue you are having is with the letters printed in black ink on the dash? What about all the numbers I provided that are correct? I didn't put an "I" or...

    Have an appointment with CA DMV next week

    That classification will probably work for us right now, until the truck is 25 yrs or older. Was there much hassle registering it? Did you have to drive it down to the dmv? Or was a picture good enough?

    Have an appointment with CA DMV next week

    I just purchased a 1990 M923A2 and I have read a bunch of posts about registering these trucks as Antiques. Well, this year my truck is 24 years old so it doesn't quite fit the bill. My neighbors and I went together to buy this truck to make it into a water tanker for both watering our road and...
