Yep the sender put in a mechanical oil gauge started up and slowly rose to 75 psi and stayed steady so I know its the sender I'll try cleaning it and T off the block and see if it works. Thanks again
Well I get the dumb award today! Took it off not thinking and yep antifreeze came rushing out! Not much but enough to get my leg and hand wet lol. Well round two tomorrow. What is that tool to take the end off? Running to NAPA for parts again tomorrow, just might pick on up.
Ok found the sender by the starter right? How do you get the rubber boot of the top don't want to wreck it. Yea I'm going to napafor a mechanical gauge and might as well pic up a temp gauge to.
OK hears the deal, I started my M923 yesterday the oil pressure gage worked fine read close to 30 psi when warming up and works fine when driving. Today I started truck I noticed no pressure at all. I shut the truck off let it sit for a hour checked the oil, right up to the mark so I started...
OK I think I got a handle on it now. I know what I need just gotta take the paint off the frame and get the number hopefully it matches the plate lol thanks for the help guys. I'm taking all the paper work I get to my DMV.

I looked all over the frame the only number I found don't come close to what dash plate says but its all Greek to me ??? (Iooked behind the starring box that number is weird)
They told me that the other guy had GL paper work whitch I am assuming was the SF-97 and after that it was fine but my DMV is very understanding with all the toys I have purchesed over the years lmao I'll let you all know what happens thanks guys

Well I think it has a fram oil filter already I'll check tomorrow and I plan on changing oil and fuel filters along with the air filter and yes I'm rebuilding the air cleaner and replacing the air govner as well it airs up 150 psi. Is it OK to run 15-w40 oil in them? Its what we run in our farm...

Well hear is my new to me 1983 M923A1 its my first ever military truck so I might have a lot of questions for help on it. It does need a little work but runs and drives like a champ. Once I throw my own style into it it will be a beast of a truck. Mostly will be used for farm work but of course...
I cant find that anywhere on the frame all I find is that number behind the steering box that reads 4116 some goofy mark 9304603 or do I put the NL0G1k C52305493 like I said new to this hole thing and want to get it right lol
