I received the valve I ordered from smittyjr355 yesterday, and installed it today. :p I think the "Green Beast" is ready to roll now! I fired it up and the air pressure went to 120 psi in both tanks. The power steering is working, and the brakes are working. I lubed up the steering...

Since the thread is here, I thought I'd list the TEXAS requirements in the thread for anyone from the LONE STAR STATE that may read this. If you live in another state, I can't tell you how/what is required, but if you're reading this thread and live in TEXAS, this is for you: In TEXAS, the...

Update on my new truck: I've learned so much over the past two weeks. It has definitely been a wild ride! I put some info on the Military Vehicle Collector Club thread that I'm a member of but I thought I'd share some of it here. I was very lucky to win the truck I did, for the price I...

Thanks guys, I've searched SS multiple times looking for this information and for some reason, never found this thread until now. I read the TMs and saw OE HDO 10, but never knew exactly what brand or what it exactly was. I do have one question, can the Mystik® PL AW Hydraulic Oil ISO 68...

Thanks Thanks everyone! I am truly blessed, and yes Red Beard, I find myself going outside several times every hour to just look at the truck and stand in awe of the truck. :-P

197th Inf I grew up an ARMY Brat. Born in Ft. Lee VA, and lived on the east coast and in Germany most of my life. My step-father was in the 197th Infantry Brgd on Kelly Hill in Fort Benning GA back in the mid 80's (82-87). He was a Mess Sergeant, ran a dining facility at HHC. If memory...

Thank You Gary, Thank you, I really appreciate you checking into it! Now I can research the unit further and make a good display board with vehicle history to display when I'm finished refurbishing it. Thanks again Keith

I'm attaching photos of the numbers! Thanks for taking the time to look it up. I googled it and didn't find anything.

My fellow brothers in Green Insanity! I won a GL Auction for an M923 5-Ton last week. I previewed the trucks and was fortunate enough to win one of the top 3 trucks for bid in the auction. The EUC has been removed from the trucks and I recovered it over two days (Monday and Tuesday)...

Mike, I know Carnac can find info on ARMY vehicles, but I have a newly purchased Marine Corp 5-Ton M923. Do you have any idea where to find out about Marine Corps trucks? I served in the ARMY, and don't know much about the Marines. I purchased the truck from GL in Saginaw Texas last week...

Caging the brakes is the way you "unlock" the brake by manually retracting the springs that cause the brakes to clamp down. On each of the 4 brake carriage assemblies, there is a "tool" which is a bolt with a "T" on one end. It is stored in a "sleeve or shaft" on the brake carriage...

This is the same problem I am having with my newly purchased M923. I arrived this morning to retrieve my truck and the air pressure gauges did not budge from 0. I couldn't even get to 10 psi like your truck did. I had a friend coming in his deuce to pull me home, and decided to cage the...

Oops, too late :D :D :D Soooo, I purchased 4 batteries and put them in the 5-Ton this morning. The engine kicked over and started on the first push of the button!!!!! The air pressure did not budge on the gauges though. The buzzer kept buzzing, but the pressure guages remained at 0. I...

Recovery Attempt # 1 I attempted to recover the M923 today, but ran out of time and wasn't able to get it home. 50 of the M923's that were sold at Saginaw have been transported to the TruckCenter.com property about 2 miles from the Saginaw facility. I called and scheduled a pickup this...

Thanks Thanks Combatmech, I am very thrilled about getting the truck for such a cheap price. To be honest though, it was almost every penny I had in my account. I was bidding on a hope and a prayer. My invoice has been received and I'm scheduled to pick it up soon.

New Family Member MVCC Members and Steel Soldiers family: I'm proud to announce the newest addition to my family, a beautiful green M923. She's 307 inches long and weighs 22,000 lbs! :smile: I received the winning bid notice/email from GL this morning at 00:21 hours! I was very lucky to win...

Enjoyed meeting everyone at the meeting Saturday morning. :-P I'm looking forward to the upcoming events. I had Jim send me an email with the dates for the upcoming events and thought I'd post them all here, as a reminder and to inform anyone that is interested. :arrow: Oct 5/6/7 -...

Bodhi, I hope you keep us posted on the new venture. It sounds like a blast! No pun intended.... well, maybe a little :-) If/when you get the business up and running, I'll bring the family up from Texas and give you some business! Good Luck

I took off last weekend to go to the movies. I met up with K9Vic - Gary, but we didn't see anyone else so we ended up leaving (it was raining cats and dogs). Later I spoke to Wallew - Jim and learned me and Gary were just a little early. So I missed meeting up with everyone that showed up...
