Got this email early this AM and I am curious if others have had the same, I don't have the truck anymore so not sure what to do. The following item’s Demilitarization Code has changed and the government now requires the completion of an End-Use Certificate (EUC) prior to removal of the item...

So this weekend, went to start up my M923A1 and the engine hot light was glowing bright as soon as I flipped the switch. Truck hadn't been started in over 8 days. I think I read somewhere that the Engine Hot light was troublesome on the M923A1's and most were removed. For what it's worth...I...

The weather and my schedule finally allowed be to start my painting project on my M923A1. I took Friday off as a vacation day and started all of the prep work. Complete power wash from the top down, followed by a complete power wash with Purple Power to degrease everything. 4 cans of...

It's getting cold outside finally...and I've discovered that my heater isn't working. Drove the truck today for 10-12 miles and it never got warm air coming out of the defrost vents. Makes for a chilly ride in the 37 degree rain! Stopped to get fuel, opened the hood and then opened the little...

I'll preface this by saying...I'm at deer camp with my M923A1...and 80 miles from my tools and my technical manuals with really bad cell reception so trying to view them on an iPhone in 3G coverage ain't gonna work. Air pressure won't build past 60psi, low air light stays on. Checked all the...

I'm going to be giving my M923 a fresh coat of paint in the spring and was curious about how much paint on average that it takes to doll up one of these monsters? I'm going to be doing some of the cleaning up in the shed over the winter and plan to paint it when the weather starts to get nice...

Today was a short little road trip from my house to Kansas Speedway in my M923A1 The truck was quite the conversation piece as we tailgated with the biggest tailgate in the parking lot. We left the house a 0615 and returned about 1900. Lots of veterans stopping by to check out the vehicle and...

Went down to the shed to do some minor work on my M923, replaced the oil pressure sensor on the motor and the oil pressure gauge on the dash and put a new mirror on the truck. Easy enough right? Before I started the motor, I did my usual checks of the oil and coolant levels. Noticed that my...

The repair shop is finally getting around to completing the engine swap on my M923A1. He's got the old motor out and is putting the new (read used takeout) motor back in the truck. He's flushing and checking the radiator for me and putting a new thermostat on for good measure. With any luck...

Curious if anyone else has had issues getting their military vehicle title from the fine folks at Gov Planet? I have been waiting for 60 days and have called several times. No luck in speeding the process up. Bad thing is...as of midnight...I'm illegal in KS since I'm only given 60 days of...

I was taking my M923A1 to the barn this afternoon when the truck began to lose power and eventually died on me. The engine hot light was illuminated but the temp gauge only showed 190. After waiting about 10-12 minutes, it started back up. About 1 mile from my destination, same thing happened...

I've decided to add a solar battery tender to my M923A1 and I just ordered one from that auction website. I was wondering where most of you have decided to mount the solar panel and the control box? Thanks!

We all know how hard it can be to find some of the metal cargo bows for the M923/M35 family of trucks. I'm still in search of 5 good metal bows myself and I have a line on getting some. That being said, I decided to use my noggin and put all that 'worthless' knowledge accumulated working in a...

I blew the bottom of my muffler out of my M923A1 this weekend after the local St. Patrick's Day parade. Good news...truck is real loud now. Bad news is...truck is REAL loud now! I figure all of the years it spent sitting idle in a yard and the rain just running down the pipe finally caught up...

I'll be on the road in about 45 minutes on the way to Ft. Riley, KS to pick up my first military vehicle. I think I've packed up enough stuff and was able to borrow a tow bar from MWMules just in case. I have an 1100 appt with the GP folks. 5gal of diesel 2 new 1165 CCA 8D batteries 1 gallon...

Well...it looks like I won a GP auction today. I guess I'm really gonna go thru with this now and get my first M923A1. Picked it up cheap enough so I can afford to do some work on it. Gotta get over to Ft. Riley, KS early next week and pick her up. Next order of business is getting my wife...
