M920 is on a distinguished road
Default M916-M920 Tech & Tips

Ok...so I have owned my M920A1 since 2003 and I have put over 110,000 miles on it since then. I have done lots of mods (some better then others...LOL) and had to deal with my share of problems and breakdowns.

Lately I'm getting a lot of questions from folks that benefited from the recent release of hundreds of these trucks on GL, and this got me thinking that maybe I should try and help some of the proud owners by starting a tread with tech & tips, to try to make their trucks more reliable and usefull.

Oh....and if nothing else....I might at least be able to prevent others from making the same mistakes that I have made over the years.

So my question to all the M916-M920 owners out there is: Would there be an interest in a thread, in which I would try to share some of my experiences with my M920A1 and with the new M916, and what I have learned in the process of owning and driving them.....?

I was thinking of doing a new post once or twice a week.

Let me know if this would be perceived as usefull.....

Thanks Soni

I'm not a 920 or 916 owner, but I've enjoyed reading about your 920 build, and about your recent 916. If I had the skill, time and space I'd build a 920 like that. You have a truck that's the envy of more than a few on the board so I think we'd like to read about tips born out of your lessons learned. A one stop thread on experience regarding 916s and 920s for owners and potential owners would be great.

I only have an M818 today but you never know. I'd enjoy reading and I might need the info some day in the future.

You can never learn too much, I would love to hear your knowledge about these trucks.
