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.
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. Granted pulling 27000-29000 pounds with a 22,000 pound truck is never that...
M820A2 I recently won on GL, just would love to know the year.

Alright tons of threads on the problem. Basically I was driving in the mountains and I smelled burning coming from the truck. I didnt see smoke or any other problems and the smell went away. So I drove on; I later noticed the voltage gauge right on the line of overchargeing and normal and got...
Alright made it to Washington state with only 1 problem. But will start a repair thread in the 5 ton section. But once I get to a computer I will upload some movies and pictures along the way with the story.
Took 3 days total.
Picked up the truck and it had a bad fuel solenoid; which jeff happened to have on hand. He is definately a great resource. I drove to ripon to gett my bro for the trip resting for the night then next day alot of driving followed by alot of driving.
thanks, I got Jeff looking at the truck tomorrow when I go pick it up. Thanks alot guys. If there is anything people need moved from Wisconsin to Washington state or anywhere in between let me know.
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...
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...
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?
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.
