    2800 miles in a M923 1400 towing a M820A2

    Yeah I might try that again. Used to cars. I will try it but have to plan for the worse.

    2800 miles in a M923 1400 towing a M820A2

    I agree with you. Although I took great efforts to use alternate roads. In fact I had open roads with almost no one for 98% of the trip. But the 2% is still a percent.

    2800 miles in a M923 1400 towing a M820A2

    So this trip was pretty stupid from the start, I should have never attempted this. I was somewhat motivated by some of the stories of people having success with towing M923's with M923's, so I figured I should be alright.

So I drove on; I later noticed the voltage gauge right on the line of overchargeing and normal and got...

    I actually have alot of that stuff already at work that I can "borrow" for a bit. I work mostly with Electronics and Micro Miniture stuff. I used to work on Nato SeaSparrow launchers in the navy, which has alot of hydraulics, pressured air waveguides, electronics, and plumbing (believe it or...

    M923A2 Recovery 2000 miles

    So I got one of the M923A2's in Sparta, granted as you can tell I am currently stationed in Hawaii. So I will be flying to LaCrosse, to meet some friends to take me to my new toy. The idea was to pick up some of my parents stuff in their old house then bring it to Snohomish, WA. Should be an...

    Hello From Hawaii!

    Now that doesn't inspire alot of confidence for my truck. LOL hopefully I will make the trip. What would you recommend that I check before I drive that long ways away?

    Hello From Hawaii!

    Wow had no idea, might actually like to talk to the guys that have the M923's to ask about some of the maintenance and common problems. And get familiar with the vehicle before I go pick mine up.
