    Need a 95%+ Michelin 16.00r20 in Georgia

    As of right now, I have nothing. I ordered from the link above, the guy said that a couple of them were almost new looking, all three were gashed up with terrible wear. Now I am stuck with three burnt out tires and no further than where I started. So now I am looking for one 95% Michelin...

    M923A1 Fire Extinguisher?

    Has anyone found the correct extinguisher to fit in factory holder? I have tried multiple ones I found locally with no luck. This is the holder that is bolted to the right of the shifter with the bands.

    Need a 95%+ Michelin 16.00r20 in Georgia

    In the 1500 miles I have never even scrubbed, this mechanic cranked the wheel and stomped it. If you have vendor suggestions for this area, please let me know.

    Need a 95%+ Michelin 16.00r20 in Georgia

    While trying to find out the binding feeling while backing up, my now ex mechanic cut the wheel, smashed the gas and sliced my front tire on the inner fender. The inside tread is sliced in two and rides like crap now. I purchased this truck with new tires and would like it to be as close to new...

    New Owner, M923a1, Need some direction

    Alright. Just got off the phone with Allison. This is what I was told to do. Drain everything from transmission, refill with cheap Dex III, run it for a few weeks, drain again, change filters, fill with good Dex III, drive and follow service schedule.

    New Owner, M923a1, Need some direction

    I had all intentions of doing it. But after finding hardly any fluid in my rust filled radiator I felt it was better to pay now than pay later. Also, the fluid is about an inch high on stick, slightly dark brown, and I am getting a jumpy feeling at the 3rd shift. It does show 2400 miles, but it...

    I stopped at two distributors yesterday. The best they could come up with was caterpillar trans fluid. Only available in five gallon buckets.

    New Owner, M923a1, Need some direction

    I finally got a gauge to fit valve stem, but still no air chuck. It looks like tractor hydraulic is the closest I will get to 10wt oil for transmission. Any suggestions as to which to get?

    New Owner, M923a1, Need some direction

    I have 15w40 for the engine. No problem. I have stopped at over ten parts houses, I cannot find 10w for the trans. That is the problem, I need 10w oil

    New Owner, M923a1, Need some direction

    I do have one. The whole Super Trac thing made me nervous. I just want to make sure I do it right from the start. Just to clarify, I want a 10wt oil, not hydraulic 10w.

    New Owner, M923a1, Need some direction

    Napa said the only thing they had was hydraulic 10w not oil. I checked with both in my area. The hydraulic was Super Trac 303. Was real nervous and never got a straight answer so I moved on

    Has anyone found factory green paint?

    I am looking for factory green touch-up paint color for back bed rails and engine/horns. Rattle can would be great. I use Rapco for the tan, but haven't seen anything specific for green.

    I picked up Rotella 15w40 on sale for $12.99/Gal today for my oil change. I have checked several parts houses and cannot find 10w oil for my trans, everyone keeps pushing me to Hydraulic oil and Ihave been advised not to use it.

    New Owner, M923a1, Need some direction

    I think I posted between your post. The only thing on the tire says 110 PSI Max. I have heard everything from 50 to max. None of my air chucks fit valve stems anyway, which is another problem. With the Oil I have read 10w40 and 15w40, I have Lucas treatment ready to go. With the trans I have...

    New Owner, M923a1, Need some direction

    After months of reading the forums and researching I decided on the M923A1 and picked one up a couple months ago. The truck is a 1985 with 2000 miles. For the most part, everything is in pretty good shape, but the maintenance seems to be lacking and I want to catch it up before restoring. I have...

    I just did mine today. I poured 5 gallons of Fleet and it was a bright magenta, even the Napa cool stuff matched it.
