I did talk to the guy at the time and learned apparently it has a Ford engine and transmission in it, thoughts? Kinda ruins the stock appeal but does that make it anything unique?
Haha! In the year and a half I've lived in Fairbanks, the furthest north I've ever been was Chena Hot Springs, just up the Steese Highway then 56 miles to the east down Chena Hot Springs Rd, and that was when I first visited the area in 2015. I'd love to get up further north though. A former...
Hey Lindsey97, would changing out the 10wt? that the military uses be something you'd do immediately then if winterizing a M923 for winters in Fairbanks, AK?
The M923"A0" I've ridden in was definitely enough to knock that cup over, as if the G177's on our frost heaved freeways weren't already probably enough.
Definitely curious to hear results from anybody's full Dextron flush (I've read you have to completely flush it, not just drain and refill when changing fluid types). I've ridden shotgun in a 923 that definitely had the hard downshift in that pulling-up-to-a-stop-sign kind of deceleration, very...
That is a fine looking truck. If I didn't have a line on a 923 I'd definitely consider such a setup, short wheel base that actually (almost) fits in one parking space, and will go crazy places off-road.
Good looking truck, congrats! Yeah, the upshift isn't so bad, hardly noticeable except for changing RPMs but that 3-2 downshift will shake your teeth out at every freeway off ramp or STOP sign, from what I've experienced riding shotgun in one. Despite the loud, rough ride, they are still...
I've also heard of people putting the bed of a 923/925/etc on spacers to alleviate this, i.e it sits higher on top of the frame. I think with mine I may be acquiring I'd probably try another 2" thick piece of hardwood on top of the existing piece. I'm planning on taking mine off-road often so...
These trucks really belong out in the open, the suburban strip mall sprawl is not their thing. I can't wait to hit the trails in mine- after all that's what they were designed for.
