Any other pictures would be appreciated so i can get as close to stock as possible. Any guess on the thickness of the metal? Are there straps on the back of the ubolts or just nuts and washers? Thank you. Al Jones

I'm adding the emergency air circuit to my M105A2. I have all the parts I need except the plate that is welded to the underside cross member. The TMs don't show me the information that I need. Can someone please post the dimensions of the plate? Pictures with a tape measure on it would be...

Ya, no kidding, your fans await! Al Jones Brookings, SD wishing I had 2% of your fabrication skills...

Thanks for the comments. Unless I hear any fatal flaws, I'll be drilling the holes this weekend and finding some C channel. Al Jones M923

If I read your message correctly, I will lose my bow stowage, correct? I don't want to lose that as I have the cargo cover off most of the time. Al Jones M923

Here is how I'm planning to add some stowage to my MM923. The case is a leftover from adding the battery relocation kit. I had a couple of ammo boxes so I picked up the rack to mount them. The last thing was the tow bar. I'm out of space on the truck where to store things and this is what I...

And here's a reason to become a paying member of this site. This knowledge saved you more than the 15 or 30 bucks to upgrade. And it will let you upgrade more than once. Al Jones Brookings, SD M923

Thanks for posting! I did not use "towing lights" as a search term and missed your thread. I'll post some questions to your thread so we keep it all at the same place. Thanks again!

Fabricating a Tow Light Bar I think I've found all the posts and photographs of tow light bars on the forum. I have spare lights and metal so I am in the process of fabricating one. I'd like it to be as close to original as possible. What I don't have are measurements of one. Would someone...

Can you please elaborate on "coppers"? Thanks, Al Jones M923

As interesting as I'm finding this discussion, 8), is it possible for someone to hijack their own thread?

Look at Post No. 1 with the old and new brackets side-by-side. The new braces are WAY more than 2" longer. They are almost a foot longer. I caution against cutting and splicing unless you somehow beef it up at the splice. This set up is heavy, especially when this 240 lb Soldier B steps on...

Good luck, the prices have gone crazy. I bought the entire kit on eBay in the summer of 2012 for $250 (plus $75 shipping). Al Jones

Artisan, from the photos, it look s like your towbar does not have the MWO upgrade. You should consider doing it. Lots of threads on this. Al Jones

Carnac is correct. It's TB 11-5820-890-20-71, INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION KIT, ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT MK-2378/VRC (NSN 5895-01-225-0518) (EIC: N/A) TO PERMIT INSTALLATION OF RADIO SET AN/VRC-87/88/90 SERIES IN M923, M924, M925, M926, M927, M928, M931, M932, M933 AND M936 TRUCK...

The OP's method is sound - the OP never mentioned torque sticks. A normal extension does not reduce torque delivered to the nut. If you use your whole self weight, you might over torque the nuts when you "climb up" on the lever arm due to inertia. Keep an eye on the auction sites. I picked...

There are two different types of gaskets on the A0 (stem to stern), and based on the comments, it appears the turbo models as well. I just camped out on the forbotten site with an automatic searched until they showed up and bought them. They come up from time to time. Al Jones M923

When I disassembled my stack, I had gaskets in hand thinking I would replace them. The old ones came out fine and looked great so I reused them and saved the spares for a rainy day. Who'd a thunk? Al Jones M923

I switched to clear lenses and it's much brighter. I had to take the original ones, use a heat gun to remove the red lenses from the brass fronts. I then used clear lenses from the indicator lights above the steering wheel to insert in the front brasses. MUCH brighter and white. I need to...

I do not agree that "The factory 60 amp alternator can't hold 60 amps for a long time without burning up." The military standard is many, many hours at 60 amps continuous load. I pulled over 60 amps on mine (on an alternator testing machine) for over one hour. I had to stop because the...
