I am about to do the brake down one of my tires. Does anyone know what the diameter of the valve stem hole is in the rim.

12 volt alternator I am looking for a mount kit for my m923a2 to mount a 12 volt alternator/generator. I was wondering do you still make the kit.

I am sure this has been covered before but for the life of me I can not find my specific problem. This is a intermittent problem I have been having since I got the truck. From time to time the when I take off the parking break the brakes on two of the wheels will remain locked. I have had to...

I wish we had the funds to build one that nice. I will provide pics as soon as the weather cooperates around here so we can work on it. It has been cold and snowing a lot this year. The roll bar is a great idea and would prove some protection.

We are planning on getting rid of the ctis, and we have looked into changing the wheels out to a set of duals. Thinks for the info.

You are exactly right about not every FD getting grants. We have tired numerous times in the past to get a grant. It took us several years on the FEPP list in our state to qualify to get the 5 ton. Most of the people posting about not using MV have never worked with a small department with a...

Is this a truck you have experience with? If so do you know how many gallon the tank is, and what is it make of? If you have any more pics of the truck I would love to see them.

So many say that making a 5 ton into a tanker is so dangerous and increases the chance of rollover, and you are modifying it from its original purpose. I thought these trucks were designed to haul heavy loads over uneven terrain. With the use of a good tank set low and properly baffled, I don't...

We are a small non tax based fire department. We do what we can with what we got. If I had it my way we would have new purpose built rigs but that is not a option. We try and drill safety and training and so far "nock on wood" we have not had a major incident with one of the trucks. MVs may not...

Nice pics mcmullag

Does anyone have any experience with 24 volt to 12 volt converters. What brands would you recommend. I need 12 volts to run all the radios, lights and sirens for the truck.

Thinks for all the info. We are planning on removing the bed so we can place the tank as low as possible. I had read a few things on the roll over problem with the truck and it does have me concerned. I plan on starting training drives with it empty so they can get a feel of it before we add the...

I am the fire chief for a small all volunteer department in southeast Missouri. We recently got a M923A2 through FEPP. We are currently working on converting it primarily into a tanker truck with some grass fire applications. We currently us a 70s model duce as our tanker, so this is a big step...
