    M923A1 multiple issues all at once

    Drained the oil today. Plenty of diesel fuel in the oil, drained about 14 gallons out all together. I removed the filter, cut it apart and looked for any type of debris. Nothing noted. The drain plug magnet had some remnant of a very small coil spring, about the thickness of #2 pencil lead...

    M923A1 multiple issues all at once

    Driving home today in my M923, had a breakdown. I pulled over because I had a burst of smoke in the cab, truck seemed to be running fine. Stopped quickly, shut down and noticed quite a bit of oil on the drivers side front and passenger side rear of the engine block along with quite a bit on...

    M923a2 air blow off abs

    Not sure of better quality but it builds air in about 3 minutes vs the 6 or 7 before.

    M923a2 air blow off abs

    You can buy a new one from member Suprman for what a rebuild kit costs. His are the newer PurEST model that requires 3 new holes to be drilled on the stock bracket. The rest is plug and play. I'm happy with mine.

    PapaBear's New M151A2

    My favorite type of Jeep. Talk to DH, I would honestly trade my NOS CUCV for such a fine example and he wants my CUCV. Maybe a triangular deal can be made.

    M35a2 trailer brakes

    Yes. It also charges the air tanks on the trailer. The "Service" line that Porkysplace is concerned with only sends a signal to the trailer that the truck is engaging it's brakes, the trailer should do the same and in proportion to how much the truck is engaged. The trailers are equipped with...

    Official 2016 Ga. Military Vehicle Rally info thread. Oct. 19-23, 2016

    CAMO, Leesburg Detachment will be staying just across from the lodge at Kaye's Keep. Plenty of food and fellowship but roughly 1/4 mile from the main field. We won't have phone chargers available unless you have one to plug into the wall. In case anyone asks, yes, I did make a detachment from...

    2016 Ga Military Vehicle Rally buy/sell/trade thread

    Depends on price or trade value. I am somewhat interested.

    2016 Ga Military Vehicle Rally buy/sell/trade thread

    Medicine Cabinet made from a wooden ammo crate for my wife. I now know that what she is looking at on Pintrest is a wooden crate that was stenciled "Rocket Ammunition" on the top line and "Inert Projectile" on the second line. I would still like to find one and if it comes with shelves inside...

    Odd Air pack question

    I've thought of doing this on a Deuce before but in a completely different fashion. My thoughts were to run a pair of M105 brake actuators over the rear tandems to give a simple "split" system solution, capping the line going to the rear and leaving the front end stock. The problem that arises...

    NOS USMC M1028 from Norway Storage

    I drove it just about 30 minutes ago. It runs fine going 55 or 60 mph going down the road but I don't like to run it that way for long as it sounds stressed. I put 35 dollars of diesel in the tank and it drove just fine going home. I am now in a slight agreement on the new home of this truck...

    NOS USMC M1028 from Norway Storage

    All CUCV lovers, this truck is going downhill. It needs a new dash pad now and the door panels are fading at the top. I have had a good run with this truck and it is all still bone stock original save for a heater core from Napa and a rebuilt starter after it broke the nose cone off from a...

    Sound systems in your 5 tons? Subwoofers?

    I put a "Monster Rockin Roller 2" in mine and Bluetooth it to my phone. It doesn't stay in the truck when parked at home but it does a pretty good job. Mine is a louder A1 with the 14 liter 250 Cummins and I can hear it just fine over that. Certainly not pounding bass like a pair of 12's in a...

    M923A2 Power Control Box Issues

    Kevin, The shutoff solenoid on your truck is on the left side of the engine and has a plunger pointing downward facing a linkage on the injection pump. Yours sounded great when I drove it the other day. The black box on the firewall may be your issue. There is a member on here named Fuzzy...

    M923A1 vs M923A2

    Shifter was in 1-5, 1 click back from neutral. I guess the string attached to cats rear ends have some knots from time to time which makes it difficult to pull them out and perhaps a 250 powered truck could not accomplish that. I was socializing for thoughts and that certainly is one. I...

    M923A1 vs M923A2

    I guess I'll have a better perspective when we start to up the fuel rate on the A2. My previous experience was with an M936A2 which of course was slower due to the weight. I expected the cargo variant to feel stronger with it's advertised 745 foot pounds of torque vs the A1's 650 foot pounds...

    M923A1 vs M923A2

    I know the differences between the basics of the trucks. I drove an M923A2 home for an almost new member today and had some questions between the two models. My M923A1 seems alot stronger off the line and through the gears. I know both trucks have the same transmission but it seems the M923A2...

    MTVR? availability?

    To my knowledge they have not decided to sell any yet. We still rebuild them and there is no replacement in sight or even sought after. We even store damaged beyond economical to repair trucks for critical parts. I have only seen one in private hands and it was a remnant of a truck that had...

    Transmission Power Takeoff Control Lever on M936A2 Wrecker

    Negative, they should both be disengaged when you are not using them. If you are using the drive wheels to help free the truck out of a mudhole in which the truck is mired, leave the front winch engaged so it can help with the recovery operation. If you have no need to use the hydraulics, they...
