After having the Behr paint job for 3 months, i noticed white streaks mostly in the flat black areas and only under horizontal surfaces. All on the sides of the bed and tailgate, none on the cab or hood tops or sides. Washed the truck for the Christmas Parade and I had to use a little Bon-Ami...
No problemo, living in California I'm always asking my wife "is this legal?" when I have a burrito with a piece of pizza or put hot sauce on popcorn. Good luck on your venture.
Whoa, it's a joke son. Your presentation is far superior to anything expected out of an old smelly (yes, all the deuce cabs have a particular smell), oily, probably rusty truck that served all those that served. My fondness for military vehicles and food would be a natural and I'd line up for...
Here is the schematic for the failsafe system. Test your switches, if they perform as they should then wiring or failsafe module is at fault. I redid the ground at the module and was fixed it for a short time. Replaced the module and all is good
Painted the M923A1, then after reading a post about front spring hanger nuts being loose - tightened some of those. Well the fuel line from the filter to injector pump saw me pay attention to the spring hanger bolts and started to leak. I had been fighting a loss of prime for a while. I resealed...
BehrPaint Job

Sorry to hear of you and truck's issues. Our 5 ton started acting the same, starter would not attempt to start truck. I traced the issue to the starter control box and started to remove the box. I found the bolt with the ground strap holding the box to the firewall loose. Tightened it and has...
I had to have the CHP do the inspection of our M923A1 without title for the DMV after purchase from GL. He saw the engine label of 1983 and said it's a 1984 vehicle. I pointed out the transfer case and transmission with late 1984 build dates, but he didn't care. So I requested the SF-97 as 1985...
If you decide to go ahead at some point, please look into the Ca rules for commercial vehicles. If you want to put anything in the bed of the truck you must register
commercial, meaning yearly commercial fees ($700 up), commercial insurance (our is $720/year, we had to get it for our 5 ton with...
