    M923 Upgrade to the Single tires?

    Thanks, juanprado I just ordered L & R lugnuts for the rear. Having a hard time getting the thimbles off! I also ordered a buddnut socket. Maybe a little heat will help.

    So you need to replace the bud stud with a straight stud and nut? Confused?

    M931 driveablity

    The cummins/allison combo is no hotrod, but a **** of alot better than my deuce's multifuel! I cruise at 60 mph on the highway with duals. Currently putting a set of singles together, but don't plan on driving any faster. It took a while to get use to the brakes coupled with the automatic...

    M923 pickup checklist

    I brought a truckload of everything and needed nothing! The M923 with 12,000 miles fired right away. ****, it even had a half tank of diesel. It drove better than my pick up! I did verify that my insurance covered this purchase. GL didn't like me driving it home, but I did. Now I have a...

    8.3 CTA Cummins won't start

    Picked up my 5ton and it fired up several times, no problem. Then I opened the fuel tank and a huge vacuum was released. Swish-Bong! Then it would not start. I pumped the primer and cracked the petcock several times then it started. It now starts sometimes. Is it normal to have that much...

    Camper M109 - Spacial Transformations style

    That looks like the fuel tank on my 88 International. I'm putting duel tanks on all my trucks, to add range. I run them all on WVO. 100 gallons will get me far without costing $ !

    Powder Coating

    Try PPG MLP40001 (383), MLP40000 (Forest Green), MLP20000 (Desert Tan). I think they have another tan as well. This is Military approved powder. I have samples here and it is very flat like CARC. See the pic attached. It is flat not 10% gloss! The bad part is they want you to order 100lbs...

    Powder Coating

    I have coated many chassis and body parts. My oven is 10x10x20 feet. My media blasting room is the same size. If you have your project fully blown apart, I would powder coat everything. Using a household oven may work for small parts but you may not get full crosslinking of the poly...

    Powder coating now available in fed. Std colors

    Powder is far more superior than paint. Faraday can be negated by preheating and then shooting the trouble areas. Powder does not need to be completely stripped it there is a problem. I can feather sand bad areas and recoat. PPG is now producing Military Spec powders in all the popular...
