M923 with roll cage and tall hardtop

[BrushMaster Builder]

Guys,

The touch pad Allison Transmissions you are seeing was a result of a long range planned MWO (Modification Work Order) planned by TARDEC and TACOM PM-Medium group to replace the MT654 with the 3500 SP (or RDS) Allison you are seeing. There were, if I remember correctly, about 100 of the transmission modifications done as part of a field test. There is even a stock number and a TACOM drawing for the 3500 transmission to be put into the M939 Series vehicles. If anyone wants it I can provide a copy. NSN is 2520-01-521-1819 and the TACOm part number and drawing number is 57K4592.

You may want to scan your computer.

avg 2013.0.3392 up to date 3211/6610 and no issues noted on latest scan. I used firefox 23.0.1 and IE 10.0.9200.16660 with no problems to global seating.

Google is having the issue with this website

When I got the data plate off the transmission I saw an open hole on the bell housing. Anyone know what it is for? Is it missing a bolt?






(For the humor impaired.)

If it's like the MT654 the hole in the bellhousing is for water drainage. You are supposed to take the plug from the storage hole next to the open hole and fill the open hole prior to deep fording. Remove it an place it back in the holding position afterwards...

Sarcasm is "a sharp, bitter, or cutting expression or remark; a bitter gibe or taunt."[1][2] In modern usage, the word "sarcasm" is commonly interpreted as involving irony,[3] or employs ambivalence,[4] but traditionally sarcasm was not necessarily irony.[5]


Understanding the subtlety of this usage requires second-order interpretation of the speaker's or writer's intentions; different parts of the brain must work together to understand sarcasm. This sophisticated understanding can be lacking in some people with certain forms of brain damage, dementia and autism (although not always),[8] and this perception has been located by MRI in the right parahippocampal gyrus.[9][10] Research has shown that people with damage in the prefrontal cortex have difficulty understanding non-verbal aspects of language like tone, Richard Delmonico, a neuropsychologist at the University of California, Davis, told an interviewer.[11] Such research could help doctors distinguish between different types of neurodegenerative diseases, such as frontotemporal dementia and Alzheimer's disease, according to David Salmon, a neuroscientist at the University of California, San Diego.[11]

(Not laughing at you but I got a chuckle. I knew what the hole was.)

I finally figured out why the air ride seats were not working in the truck. (No, I don't work on or look at every day.)

There is a yellow plastic handled valve on the air systems down by the transfer case that was shutoff. Maybe there was a leak and they just turned it off. Now the seats adjust like they are supposed to.

Yes, the seats look like the ones from Global.

Here is a picture of 150 of these cabs that were for the rebuild program that is canceled. They have been moved from lot to lot over the last few years, and even have the box and hardware to mount an outside battery box.

Put a few of those up on 10 ft stands would be darn nice deer blinds ... already camo and comfy seats... I hope coming to a GL listing soon... or at least a some point it would be a terrific waste to go for scrap...

 

[Gunzy]

I'd buy one just for the seats. Let alone the other goodies in there. I'd bet they have all wiring, switches, lighting and instruments too. Those would be a great parts source. What base are they at?

 

[FASTNOVA]

I'll take one.

Please keep me posted via PM if they surface!

I just saw one of these trucks headed north bound on I-5 near olympia.

 

[162tcat]

It was a winch truck too. The whole thing looked brand new.

 

[srodocker]

Thats a sweet roll bar....hmmm ideas!

 

[FullSpecial]

Wonder how much that one went for? Wow!

 

[jesusgatos]

My brother and I just bought three really nice looking hightops at Barstow today and we only need two, so we'll probably be listing one of them for sale sometime soon-ish.

 

[SLOrazorsedge]

Yup too much before Christmas, they all sold from $6,700 to a high of $8,700. At least they weren't up around 17k as before...I left the crazy bidding at 6k

 

[jesusgatos]

Yeah, we've been waiting... and waiting... and waiting. Those hightops have been selling for serious money. Happy we were finally able to snag a few.

M-923 with strange looking squared off cab

I am a newbie, so apologize if these questions are already answered elsewhere. I did a search, cant find any info. I would like to buy one of these franken trucks... I think they look awesome. They seem to go for about 4k more than standard m923's on GL. I would appreciate any comments on what the deal is on these things... any armor? Why are they built this way? Are they designed for a gunner on top, etc? Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks guys.
