    Very nice, still can't believe the government is selling such nice trucks. Looks like you got a good one.

    Which tank to get?

    I have always like Tiger tanks, they were way ahead of their time. Are they available?

    Just bought a 1984 M923

    Welcome to the club. Does your truck have dual rear wheels or the super singles. Post a pic when you can and congrats on the truck!

    Having owned both I would probably pick the A2. The A3 needed a gross vehicle plate, 550 per year. The CTIS is crappy, and the tires are expensive and hard to find (plan on 600 per tire if you can find them).Also, I did not like the cruising speed of the A3, 48 mph and screaming at 54mph. The A3...

    would you recommend a military vehicle for a small hauling business?

    Just tell the old lady that you need the truck for work reasons. It will fly. Just make sure to get the drop side. If it doesn't pan out.... well I guess you will get stuck with a sweet truck. One thing about a 6x6 is the ability to get in and out of a construction site. The guy who bought my 71...

    A3 front end shake above 45.....

    Not exactly. The research I did lead me to the tires being out of balance. I was going to have them bead balanced but decided to sell the truck and buy a M923A1 instead. Best thing ever, the 923 is awesome, no CTIS=no vibrations. The guy who bought my A3 was an onion farmer and vibration issues...

    New guy from CT! M923

    You should consider dropping in a Cummins NTC 400. I have always wanted to drop one in but just don't have the time.

    This video gives me hope my 923 wil not jus bury itself in the sand

    I'm really looking forward to trying now. Silver lake is a huge area. I may not attempt the infamous test hill but it should be fun.

    I'd feel better if a few local frineds had smilar trucks in case I don't know my truck well enough yet. I've been trying to get to know the better but my wife caught me sticking my tonge in the exhaust pipe the other night....

    Now don't be bursting my bubble, I have vissions of me tooling around in the sand this summer. I was hoping that their weights are at least close and the tires look about the same.

    My lights get brighter on my A3......

    As an update to this thread, it turned out to be a bad voltage regulator. I ended up with an extra reg in the process but was happy to have found the problem. When I opened up the alt it was pretty toasted in there. Along with the new regulator, they sent me a new one wire capacitor which I...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    That is some nice work. That's going to be sweet went it's done.
