You'd be out of a job and my wife would be mad that I traded a vehicle she could drive for one she'd refuse to drive! I'll trade my M923A1 in exchange and you get get back to square 1 and go through all of your modifications again!!! I'm sure that's not on the agenda.

I've had it and enthusiasts on here have known about it for 8 years now. No one has offered to buy it and I'm not actively trying to sell it. It's still sitting on the original tires. Cleaned it up yesterday for the Leesburg Christmas Parade.

Good PMCS, new wiper blades, topped off the charge on the hawker batteries, filled with diesel, quick wash, interior detail and it's Leesburg Christmas Parade ready. Didn't get to take it to Durhamtown this year so it's annual freshening up was delayed. It's hard to believe I've had this for...

Newer dryer advantages can probably be explained by a Haldex engineer. In my case, the advantage was a serviceable unit. I tried everything to get the filter assembly off of my old one including a strap wrench with an 18" 1/2" drive breaker bar motivating it. It never budged. I decided the...

Aloha, I'm interested in the answer Barrman asked in concern of how it starts once warm. I only thought of cold starts when I posted. I started mine on a balmy (kidding) 70 degree day this afternoon. Normal glow plug cycle and it started about as soon as I turned the switch. Probably less...

Might have an LMTV come down thanks to member IZZUG! I'm hoping I can find someone to take some pictures. I'm working on cleaning up Sarge, filled up his tank and his back battery is on the charger. Started fine before but doing maintenance for the what if rather than the what can I do. I...

Well, this thread never got deleted and it looks like there will be a Deuce and CUCV attending. My buddy, GoDawgsdv8 and my better half will be taking Sarge and Frankenstein. I will be out of town this Saturday but I could use a good M923 5 ton driver. Permits are turned in so I can't add to...

Aloha, I'm going to offer an opinion as it has worked well on my truck. Some may disagree but I'm not trying to start the great glow plug debate of the Christmas 2017 season. I did the DH resistor bypass and solely run my glow plugs on the 12 volt lug next to the solenoid. I only had to drill...

Wes, I'd be more than happy to help. My better half was wondering when the M1082 would go home. You'll be working by yourself if you come this weekend as I have to go out of town. 5 ton will still be there though and the trailer is currently at the correct pintle hitch level for it. I've...

I had something similar happen. It turned out to be some kind of gunk in the line from the air drier to the governor. There is a fitting midway just forward of the transfer case. What was happening in my case is once the governor signaled the drier to open, it would hold the purge valve open...

My Deuce used to creak and grumble when driven the same way. I'll bet it's spring pack or dog bone related. Possibly the bed mounts but I'd bet it's nothing worth selling the truck over. I never solved the issue on my deuce, the biggest "crack" sound would occur when turning right onto my...

Moderators, Please close / delete. Unfortunately it's just not coming together this year. We'll try for next year!

Now is just past peak time of buying an M939 series truck but still miles ahead of purchasing a comparably priced M35A2 if you actually plan to work your truck. They both trade in the 5 to 9k price range depending on condition but the Deuces prices are inflated by non-availability. The M939...

Have been letting the truck idle for a few nights to burn off some of the old diesel. Picked up a bottle of Stanadyne Fuel Injector Performance Cleaner, added it to the truck and voila! Not quite, I let it idle for about an hour. It shut off on it's own a few times but fired right back up...

A little more progress today. Took an M1082 trailer for a ride around the block. Truck would struggle to get to 45 mph with the 7,000 pounds in tow. It ran at 55 mph unhooked. Added a 32oz. grey bottle of power service, drained the fuel filter and let the truck idle for an hour. Took it...

A few pictures of Proud American Papabear, I've had alot of fun with that truck! I was the first to damage it by brushing it into a fence leaving a white mark on the passenger side of the front bumper. I caused further "battle damage" by trusting mechanics A and B and not performing my own...

Same adapters as the original with 1 exception. We now carry MUA's or multi-use adapters. They are used for the LMTV's (flat nose and LTAS variants, front or rear lift). It even comes with the old M35/809/939 1" pin adapters and of course the HMMWV adapters. Finally, we use the same...

Wildcard thrown in! I wish my M984A4 did not limit 5th gear to 1,700 rpm! Question though, is there anything specific you would like a picture of? Other than than the cab uprgrades with instrumentation and stuff, the wrecker body is the exact same and my old M984A1. I just have a C15 Cat...

I'm a little late asking for help but I need a ton of it this year. The date is 2 December in Leesburg, Ga. The meet up point is in my front yard at 325 Thundering Springs. My problems are I'm going to be out of town for National Guard duty, I need drivers for my M1028 and M923 and I need to...

You're correct sir, that is what's been going on here lately. If it makes you feel better, I've put another 13 miles riding through the country side this evening and it seems to be doing much better. I'm about to place an order for a Classic Industries catalog so I can get a new dash pad...
