New to these trucks

[MA1911]

Hey guys I just got a 91 M923A2 it was remaned in 2010. It's got the central air, brand new super singles. 25000 miles on it. My questions are; what is the capacity of the fuel tank? How capable are these trucks in the desert? What should I be aware of? Are they reliable? If i was to list it for sale what are they worth? Any advise is appreciated thank you

The fuel tank holds 80 gallons IIRC. By central air, do you mean a/c in the cab or, CTIS? How capable in the desert, isn't that is where we sent these trucks in the last 11 years. Its reliability depends on your wrenching & maintenance capabilities; along with a good parts source when you need them. The rest of the questions, like how much is it worth...resides with who will pay your price in cash to take it off your hands. Uncle Sugar is selling lots of these trucks now @ prices all over the place.

Its a great truck, but too big for my non CDL DL & insurance paying abilities!

Welcome , most of your questions will be answered by reading this TM9-2320-211-10.pdf
Being "remaned in 2010" doesn't mean a whole lot other than they make them look pretty . Red River Army Depot rebuilds are the worst . New paint, hoses, tires ect.
Your best bet is to start reading the threads in the 5 ton forum and learn about the trucks , there are no quick simple answers . As for value it's what someone is willing to pay . Some when for around $2000 at a live auction in Atlanta yesterday .

Please, for your safety and the safety of the bus full of nuns, read the tm's, get familiar with the truck before heading out on a Sunday outing.
If you are close to a big parking lot, take it to it and go through the annual, semi-annual, daily before and after pmcs. Get aquatinted yourself with every control and what it does.

These trucks can kill very easily if you don't treat them with respect.

I took my five year old for a ride around town today, he loved it.

Thank you I will. Is there anything spastic I should know?
It has CTIS not A/C. Where can I get the special jumper cable at?

Good thing it is has the cargo cover on it u don't need to mess and kill your self putting it on. the M923A2 are great fun trucks I've been wanting one for a few years now .. and now I have one I think you'll be happy

Like suggested earlier in the thread, download and read at least the Operator's Manual since you have very limited knowledge about these vehicles.
