    Hello ALL, Looking to purchase a decent M923A2 need some upfront advice. What are the top 5 things I should be checking to ensure I am not out too much $$$ if a particular system is in poor needing replacement condition I know I will be spending money on this but I would prefer not to be...

    Interior improvements

    I noticed you had no reply here, I am a bit new here and am looking for a rig. I noted on one of your posts you had listed you had an 813 and the next it showed a 814. I have been looking to do a Big Cam 400 swap on whichever rig I buy which is also what you were looking for. How did that turn...

    Olive the 923 Full Swap

    Note to self: Add air bags to keep the front front axle from smashing the nice Big Cam pan. Any pics or part numbers? This obviously limits the suspension somewhat are there any additional benefits or drawbacks?

    Rockwell 5 ton input torque rating... What breaks first. Bearing caps? Shafts? Ring gear? Pinion?

    One reason I like the 8LL is the three revers gear ratio choices (six in all) to be able to rock the rig back and forth as needed. Again I haven't used one of these transmissions and don't know the "feel" of a 21,000 lb rig and what power/ratio makes the ideal scenario for throwing mud off your...

    Rockwell 5 ton input torque rating... What breaks first. Bearing caps? Shafts? Ring gear? Pinion?

    SIMP Thanks again on the reply. Looking for info on failure mode on the "eating" parts. Was this in low range out in the mud or pulling your heavy loads in high T-case range but lower gears on your 7155? Was this on the intermediate shaft between the Trans to T-case or the T-case to the rear...

    Engine failure, rebuild, with turbo, jakes.

    This is the big cam 400 at 3200 lbs vs the nhc 250 at ??? lbs? Is anyone here making a motor mount kit to ease the pain? If this goes into a M813 or M923 is there some hood modifications needed?

    Rockwell 5 ton input torque rating... What breaks first. Bearing caps? Shafts? Ring gear? Pinion?

    Hello all! I haven't been able to locate any info on the specification for the Rockwell 5 ton input torque rating. Looking at engine torque to transmission gearing to transfer case gearing and the end torque that could be placed onto one axle input. Anyone know this? I know they are incredibly...

    Frame width on MTVR MK23 vs M923 Independent tandem axles and Rockwell 5 tons tandem swap-able?

    Cool! Thanks SIMP! OK I made it back with some measurements that I did take rapidly on the way with the family to the movies so dont sell the house they are exact but they should be close enough for our estimation here :) Measuerment made from the stock M923A2: Rear driveshaft length 31" from...

    Frame width on MTVR MK23 vs M923 Independent tandem axles and Rockwell 5 tons tandem swap-able?

    SIMP, you are correct again on the 30000 unit and if I used it a different trans w a .7ish OD would be mandatory. The only reason I am considering it at all is if it is smaller shaft to shaft to eliminate loss of ground clearance and moving the bed around. I would rather add an overdrive...

    Frame width on MTVR MK23 vs M923 Independent tandem axles and Rockwell 5 tons tandem swap-able?

    SIMP, you are correct in all of these points LOL and YES absolutely I overthink everything LOL! It looks like you too are a tinkerer of all things so I feel at home here, and thanks for the 34" detail. Still mixing the parts in my mind. I like the smaller military units and the 916/920 are...

    Has this ever been done? All of us metal heads here has anyone made this mode to see if it actually will work?

    Frame width on MTVR MK23 vs M923 Independent tandem axles and Rockwell 5 tons tandem swap-able?

    I have been looking for one but haven't seen any for sale here in SS and any that are for sale on IRONPLANET are beat to death or are crazy expensive... more than all the mods I can think of on a M923. I am looking for an EMP proof unit too and from what I see the new motor in these MTVRs and...

    Frame width on MTVR MK23 vs M923 Independent tandem axles and Rockwell 5 tons tandem swap-able?

    Are the frame widths between the MTVR and the 900 series close or the same? Has anyone here swapped the independent tandem axles from the MTVR onto the 900 series? I am looking at this for several reasons axle ratio, locker, 7ton vs 5 ton, better CTIS???, rear steering???, space to run chains...

    T-1138 failures. Examples of what to do and not to do. Failure mode. How to prevent in general use and how to bulletproof if possible.

    Hello, I am Jeff, I am an aspiring future owner of a kickin-it M923/925/927A2. The only thing about this rig that bugs me is the T-1138 case is touted as being a easy pencil to break. I am expecting to turn up the smoke a bit and maybe injectors but nothing too crazy on the 8.3. Just enough...

    Olive the 923 Full Swap

    WOW lots of wrenching! Love the pics and project! Love the BOX too! Questions for me a bit of a nubie still sorting out what I am going to buy and mod...the short shaft between your trans and T-case is similar to one simp5782 did for his swap... with the added power and gears are you thinking...

    M813 re-power underway!

    Did someone die? Is this the end of a good book with the last chapters ripped out! Was so enjoying this read. 813 with 400+ horses maybe new trans to handle the torque was sooooo delicious. There is an 813 for sale in my area but I dont want the 250 in it. Looking for options.

    ARB 5 ton locker

    I am looking at a M927 right now and the lockers are right up the ally if I get it. I would be buying 3. If anyone out there has added an extra axle making the M927 into an 8x8 I would be interested in 4. I am new to this forum and dont know if the order has been done already and someone...
