    So i bought a Deuce

    Self Lubing Speedometer

    Our M923A1 has been reading a little high lately at times on the speedometer for the actual speed.

    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...
