    2016 Ga Military Vehicle Rally buy/sell/trade thread

    Mr. Timntrucks, you need to purchase another case of Nattys to pay for that towing light set! Other than that, I am good but I really hope some vendors wanting to sell some stuff show up this year. When I was broke 3 years ago, they were plentiful! Now that I have a few spare dollars, they...

    Gainesville, Ga. Touch-a-Truck August 6

    As a Father to currently 7 and 9 year old boys, I guess the Kinder Gentler Ron left the room for that post. Oh well, such a shame as to how some view kids. We had no clue at that age either but we had good parents to show us. If in absence of my parents, I got some education from other people...

    Has anybody made or found a 24v tow light?

    I have hauled 2 M105's in the bed of an M1078 LMTV before for the National Guard. They'll fit if you can get someone to load them.

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month 2016 - July VOTE HERE!

    I got nothing!!! I voted for Tankdriver as that vehicle is in an entirely different class and level of involvement. Mine is certainly nice and a non-restored workhorse but the story alone is worthy of support. That is what go me a win last year with Sarge and why I would ask anyone to vote...

    Cummins NHC 250 vs Mack ENDT 673

    I am simply contemplating. I use my trucks for work and play and have a line on a M54A1 with the ENDT 673. It is a very stout truck but I want to gauge whether it can handle the same tasks as an M923A0 with the old nifty 250 in it. It would be classified as an M923A1 due to the addition of...

    Cummins NHC 250 vs Mack ENDT 673

    I have a quick question. Are these two engines anywhere near the same ballpark in regards to horsepower and torque output? I know what is in the manuals but can they be tweaked reliably to perform basically the same?

    I spotted 6 lugs on the steer axle passenger wheel, still a Deuce.

    M923A1 rocking back and forth

    Arny, Try to be more descriptive but I think I understand what you are saying. If I let me M923A1 sit for more than about 2 or 3 weeks, one of my tires will feel as though they have slightly flat spotted. I feel like it is my passenger side inner axle tire that is the culprit. It isn't...

    M925A2 Hauling capacity

    Wes, I may be confused but I think you sent me a scale ticket when you picked up a load from my house showing over 13,000 on the steer axle? If I am confused, please clarify and I do not know the DOT laws that apply.

    MV of the Month-July 2016

    Papabear, I was hoping someone smarter than me would choose the picture. Since I have been instructed to place my hand on the button, I will go with this. General Non-Sense is the M923 on the left. Respectfully, Joseph

    General Non-Sense! 1984 AM General M923A0 now wearing 14R20 tires!!! Hard working old truck!

    M925A2 Hauling capacity

    I will chime in with not so much what they will haul in the bed but what kind of weight they can tow without much effort. I recently picked up a stacked set of M322 Engineer Equipment Trailers. Roughly 11,700 pounds each so 23,400 combined. Truck handled it with ease but I believe an air...

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month 2016 - June VOTE HERE!

    Mike, I think the LMTV series of trucks are nice but I voted for Bert simply because of the amount of hard work and attention to detail he put into that truck. He also campaigned his tail off, much like I did when my CUCV won last year. I still had to enter it a few months in a row and lost...

    Air Loss Question- Is This The Culprit?

    http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?154619-Air-Dryer Read this thread to learn what I have learned concerning this problem first hand. Many replace the air dryer or clean the expello valve and that fixes the problem. I replaced the air dryer, the governor, and still could not build...

    Can I use winch and drivetrain at same time

    Questioned answered but no you cannot use the PTO and the drivetrain at the same time. If the PTO is engaged and you move the shifter, you will hear a loud bang and it will cut off. Learned this first hand with a M936A2. The newer FMTV wreckers will not go into gear if the PTO is engaged, you...

    Air Dryer

    I tried to call SwampDonkey to thank him and tell him he needs to find better friends!!! I only have trucks that get one of a kind problems that are difficult to track down. New air dryer installed, problem still there. New governor installed, problem still there. What was the problem, the...

    Oshkosh MK14

    I have pulled them with the Deuce in the past, I am sure the M923 would be more than happy with the task. Airlines and trailer lights hook up the same and it tows slightly nose down. The Deuce had 11R20s at the time. In the attached pictures, you will see a Deuce hauling an MK-18 trailer...
