I ditched the troop seat in my tour truck in favor of bus seats. Saw your PM, email me back about your lift gate issues, I was told in no uncertain terms if I added a lift gate for people they would not insure me. At the moment we use stairs with integrated handrails. As to the seatbelts you...

I think we already spoke once about this but could you remind me what issues were you having with the old one, what benefits do you see with the new? Ken

Here is an interesting one. I go to get SF-97 form from GL and I give them the number I find on the frame right behind the steering box. They say that is the MSN and to keep looking. I have an MSN number for it and it is different. I might have to contact the titling department directly with...

I used the non-zipper Silicone. Seems to be holding up fine under a bunch of miles but little abuse in terms of deep mud, rocks or stick damage. Ken

*UPDATE* The truck was sold (into Wyoming I think) and apparently what they found was a motor with some badly trashed cylinders. It looks like it was pulled,maybe decided it wasn't worth messing with and then slapped back together and gotten rid of. My friend isn't sure if they have pulled...

On the soft top, you might try a canvas or awning shop near by. Mine was separating from the plastic, rotten stitching. Brought it to them and $20 later we are back in business. It was a straight seam so they just ran it *brrrrrrrrap* one shot and done with the largest, most frightening...

Install your canister with the drain plug up. I used a clean gear oil bottle to put a bunch of clean pre-charge oil in. When time comes for oil change, loosen the canister some and it can be spun back around so the drain hole is down, then drain normally. I have done it this way twice now and...

What can I say, it only has 3000 miles, the winch has never been unspooled, comes with 7 new tires and it drives nicer than my pickup. The thought is right now to license this one and use it for the tour company next year and give the 923 a break. The 923 needed injector work and some new...

Maybe if you let the stuff you drain out settle in buckets for a few days it will separate out and you could flush it through the system a second or third time. Just thinking on how you could help flush the system without having to buy all new oil 4 or 5 times. Just the last time with the...

Yep, I didn't realize she was so famous, well if I end up looking at it I will come back and put the mystery to rest with what I find. My gut tells me something is fishy. It is a friend of my good friend and he vouches that not only is the gentleman an upstanding man but has another 923 and is...

Hey I think I just posted a question about this very same truck, in Great Falls right? I am only looking for parts but I remain curious as to how this could be. As for the prices, $4500 for a 'towed to lot' seems to be sort of the norm out in the boonies of Montana. 923's with turbo running...

I am looking at buying a M923A2 parts truck and the owner insists that the only thing wrong with it is that it is missing the ring gear off the flywheel. He has started to pull some intake stuff in preparation for pulling the motor to replace it but decided it was more than he can handle. I...

On the wheel replacement, how about smashing the old plastic off the center of yours and welding it into the center of the wheel you would like to use? I seem to remember the steering wheels on a Chev S10 were an all metal inside with rubber only on the outer edge. It would take some time and...

You want a ladder built for a 5 foot climb if you are running 14x20. I use a 6 step loading dock ladder with hand rails on mine. It was a ladder for a 5 foot dock. It is heavy and cumbersome but stable. They sell aluminum versions with no rails, I think that would be better to pack around...

I have also used Blackstone and was pleased. I posted a picture of what they sent me so you can see for yourself. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?128418-Oil-Analysis Ken

Here in no particular order: "You offered, we asked, now deliver. Do you have the air filter results based upon vacuum data comparisons (not opinion based)?" -Of course not. It has the same surface area and CFM according to the data sheet, it gathers dust over the whole surface rather than...

We are just about done for the year running our 1984 923 commercially. She climbed 3000 vertical feet in 14 miles multiple times a day, day after day after day. Probably close to 200 miles in low range, another 4-5000 in high. Hundreds of gallons in fuel, 2 tires, a probable pending lawsuit...

That was an optional check box, I must have missed it because the cost would have been the same regardless. Next time. It only has about another 500 miles to go on this season then all new fluids. Ken

I wanted to know what was going on with the motor because well... just because. I used a place called Blackstone Labs. They sent me a collection bottle and for $25 email you a report on how the motor is doing. I know if you live near a truck stop you could find it for less but for me just the...

Well since I couldn't get an o ring to seal I tried something off the wall and it worked. All I could source localy for a larger ring was a 5/16 (mine were 1/4) and it still leaked. No one had the 3/8 here and since I lose $200-$300 a day or more with the truck parked I followed the never give...
