    A while back someone wanted a size comparison of a deuce to a 5 ton. Here are several recent pictures of an M35A2 Deuce and M923A1 5 ton.

    As with capitalization, punctuation is also appreciated. The difference between the headline "Fear of Giant Mantis Mounting" or Fear of Giant Mantis, Mounting" From MST3K

    Starting issue

    We had the same problem. Turned out to be a loose ground connection on the control box mounting bolt. Might also check transmission neutral switch.

    Is it worth obtaining OEM wheel stud nut wrench & handle for a M923?

    We bought the 3/4" HF impact and it would not touch some of the deuce lugs. We then got the 1 " HF and it works great on a 1/2" hose. Question -- If I use the glad hand and impact on the 5 ton, do I need to worry about the air pressure? The impact states 90psi max and the 5 ton produces...

    M931A2 wont shift to low range.

    When picking up our M923A1 at GL I tried to put it in low range and it would not go in. As I tried to move the lever I noticed sparking near the base of the lever. The wires were chaffed bare where it goes through the floor. Looks like it might be a common issue.

    California air resource board c.a.r.b.

    Not to pick nits, but the DMV form for historical plate states "vehicle must be at least 25 years old". Your proof of age of vehicle and the mood of the DMV person will affect your chances.

    California air resource board c.a.r.b.

    If you don't mind "Historical Vehicle" restrictions and qualify (vehicle 25 yrs or older), you will not be affected.

    Vietnam era bumper markings

    My brother and I recently painted our tan deuce (1967 Kaiser) and he wants to put his Army numbers on the bumpers. The truck was tan when we got it and we wanted to keep it tan, although it probably would not have been tan in Vietnam. He was in the Army in Vietnam in May of 1965 through June of...

    Thinning RAPCO paint...

    Home Depot sells a Klean Strip product called Industrial Maintenance Coating Thinner. Substitute for Xylene - what I've used for two trucks with Rapco paint

    M923 year?

    Find the frame number and Carnac may or may not be able to specify a year. Your variation (A1, A2) may limit the year range. Look at the transmission, axles and transfer case - all have date codes. When your done with all that, figure out what year you want it to be and (as Suprman stated)...

    Rapco

    Not sure where to post this, I'm pretty confident I will be corrected if in the wrong place. I cannot get a hold of Rapco. Placed an order two weeks ago and can't get any answers. Anyone know ? Thank You

    1984 AM General M925A1 Registered Historical in California

    Yes, started the registration thing on the M923A1 in April and still waiting. Several trips to the DMV and CHP, but think I'm close to done. The worst part was the sour look the gal at the DMV gave me when she asked what kind of vehicle it was and I whipped out the IPhone and showed her a...

    Water in the front axle.

    Just put new seals in the right side of the front axle on the Kaiser. Went to check the axle vent and it was gone.

    A quick question on fan actuators.....

    Just ordered it from Memphis. They said theirs was rated at 195 so we'll see. It's possible the fan may have come on at something over 205-210 if I waited, but who knows how old this thing is and for around $150 I'd rather be sure about it. Many dealers carry it and price varies a lot.
