    Need to pick someone's brain: Forlorn rotting M275/M48?

    I just might this spring. Like I said it's not something I'd keep, but it might be worth saving potentially.

    Need to pick someone's brain: Forlorn rotting M275/M48?

    Definitely, agreed with you there...or the guy could be misremembering what's in there if it hasn't moved in years.

    Need to pick someone's brain: Forlorn rotting M275/M48?

    Yeah, I'm not sure what this one is, since I haven't seen the data plates in the cab.

    Need to pick someone's brain: Forlorn rotting M275/M48?

    I'm thinking kinda leave it, since it's not exactly original, and it's in rough shape to begin with.

    Need to pick someone's brain: Forlorn rotting M275/M48?

    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?

    Choosing Between M923A1 and M923A2

    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...

    M923A1 Allison Hard downshift into 1st

    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?

    Choosing Between M923A1 and M923A2

    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.

    Tires. 14.00s vs 16.00s

    Yikes. I remember you showing me that picture on one of the Facebook groups.

    M923A1 Allison Hard downshift into 1st

    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...

    Tires. 14.00s vs 16.00s

    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.

    Choosing Between M923A1 and M923A2

    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...

    This on your 925, 98G?

    Tires. 14.00s vs 16.00s

    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...

    You did get the one good runner, Carman?

    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.
