Very nice! I might borrow your idea for relocating the batteries in the M923 I might be getting, but at the same time I'm torn since they're high and dry in the cab, and I intend on going mudding somewhat.
Welcome to Steel Soldiers! Congragulations on the truck, I, too, am hopefully getting one at the end of this year, an '84 M923A0, special to me because it's from the NG unit in the country I grew up in. Looks like you got yourself a good one!
Food looks yummy! Done dragging stuff around for awhile? On a side note, thanks for looking over the listing for that M927A2 I bid on, before I bid. I didn't win but the thought was very much appreciated!
I've always wondered that too, why the cab with the hydrogen gases, especially if someone lights up a cigarette while driving or riding shotgun. But then again, maybe to be as high and dry as possible, since these trucks were meant to ford deep water/plow through the mud if need be?
I'm also planning on doing the same with my M923 I might be picking up, also a CA>AK recovery trip...just sleep in the bed for a week. Can't wait to see the border people freak out too!
Jbulach, yes the small outboard boat motors are water-cooled. I can tell you from personal experience that they sometimes clog with kelp, etc. in the water and quit "peeing" (the stream literally looks like...ya know...) and they can overheat.
Threads like this always fascinate me, as someone who might have a 250 Cummins powered M923 in Fairbanks in a couple winters. Of course, block heater, heating pad on the oil pan, etc. but hearing people's success or failure stories always intrigues me.
