I need an empty cab and a hood for M923 5-ton shipped from Michigan to Boston. The shipment will also include a few more smaller parts like air cleaner that can be packaged inside the cab. Please contact me juha_teuvonnnen [at] yahoo [dot] com I check that email more frequently than PMs on the...

Sorry for delay, finally I got the truck to MA/NH where I live now. I still need the hood. I also need both windshields with frame, driver's window glass, hard top and some other parts.

I am not too concerned about the 6CTA8.3, there are applications where it makes over 300 Hp. It's tha automatic trans that worries me. I am unsure whether it can survive extra torque.

I got an M923a2, with ABS MWO, on super singles 14.00R20 Michelin X. The tires have cracks due to old age and exposure to elements, so I am not comfortable driving it like that. What are my tire options? Are 16.00R20 any good for this truck? I heard that the 6CTA8.3 is a total dog on 16's. Any...

Hi, I need a couple of moves: 1. M923a2 from Appleton,WI to Northern Massachusetts/Southern New Hampshire. 2. Land Rover Discovery from Northern California to Massachusetts. I can be pretty flexible about dates, and the location for dropping off the Land Rover. I am open to suggestions as to...

I moved to Massachusetts and neglected to update my profile. The truck in currently in Appleton, Wisconsin. I will need to get my CDL first, then drive it here. I used to have a Euro trucking license, but it expired and I never needed on in the US until now. If any of the folks on this board are...

I have M923a2 and I need a hood and a fender for it. Are the A1 hoods and fenders the same? Also, any pointers to where I could get my grabby hands on them would be appreciated. The truck in in Wisconsin and I am in Mass.

Found it, ping me if you want me to email you a copy. Do we have an upload area on SS for these kinds of things?

Ping me if you need stuff translated from Russian, I know it quite well and I am familiar with russian trucks ;)

Hi All, I just bought an M923A2, and it came with ABS kit in the box. If somebody could point me to the directions (ideally a PDF or a TM or something along these lines) on how to install these I would greatly appreciate it. Due to complete lack of time, I will not be doing it myself, the plan...

If I click on the link to SS that comes up on google search I get redirected to some crap site instead if SS. If I hit the SS URL everythign works as expected.

I should clarify: once the Soviet Union stopped ruling it with an iron fist, everybody left. Then the USSR itself disintegrated.

I guess we're all in agreement here, Georgian government snapped all the good ones from all over the Eastern Europe. I am guessing that many of the ones left for sale are the ones that Georgians did not buy, for a reason. They were probably beat up by a few generations of recruits. In Russia the...

Rumor has it, that a lot of the T-72s that were in decent shape were bought by the government of Georgia (Ex-USSR republic). First they bought a bunch of them, then they lost more than a few in the war against Russia in August of 2008, then they bought some more. Poland used to manufacture a...

1. Buy an old beat up truck camper for a couple of hundred bucks. 2. Load it onto the bed of the deuce. 3. Title the deuce as a motorhome. 4. Park the deuce in the driveway. 5. Profit! Bonus points if you point the truck camper camouflage.

Thanks a lot, guys! Your advice is very much appreciated.

I added a bunch of items to my watchlist on the 12th, the auctions closed on the 15th. The goal of the exercise was to see what these trucks (M35A3, a few 5 tons) go for. Now I see nothing in my "Closed Watchlist" and have no clue what these trucks went for, WTF?

Kamaz-740 is not as reliable as YaMZ, however the YaMZ is an older motor. Normally aspirated YaMZ-236 is heavier than Kamaz-740 (995 kg vs. 743 kg) and it's less powerful (180 hp vs 210 hp). One thing to keep in mind is that Kamaz makes more power at higher RPMs and it's more thirsty than...

One thing to keep in mind about Urals - the "air over hydraulic" brakes are problematic. I was told that conversion to air brakes from Zil-131 greatly improves the reliability. The original Ural brakes are not bad by design, in the unlikely event that they are in good working order they do the...

If you learn 20 words in Russian, you can use the Russian equivalent of "truck trader". Use google to convert RUR to usd. Here's an example: http://irr.ru/advert/52624775/ Ural-4320, manufactured 1992, 60K kilometers on the odometer, RUR 240000 (USD 7877). The guy is even offering some spare...
