    California registration experience.

    I didn't check. I will check that out next time I drive it on the street. I guess you can't expect to much performance from a 22,000 lb. truck. It is a tad bit slower than our supercharged Corvette.

    California registration experience.

    Yes, you are exactly right. If they deny the registration, I will do a non-op on it for a year. I have heard about the camper bed option, but I think they want the camper bolted to the bed of the truck, and I don't want to alter the bed any, so I will just wait for the History Certification...

    California registration experience.

    I just got back from the scales with a certified California weight Master. The fuel tank is full, so the truck weighed in at 21,860 lbs. Next step is for the CHP officer to come over and check Vin. This was the first time I have driven the truck on the road, and getting up to 5th gear...

    I contacted the CHP office today. They are coming to my house to inspect it. I do have a moving permit.

    California registration experience.

    I did a typo above. I meant to write 1989. The form 97 shows 1989.

    California registration experience.

    M923a2 After receiving paperwork from GL, I went down to our local DMV. They said I need two more things. 1. California certified weight certificate. 2. Vin verification from the CHP. Tomorrow I get it weighed, and by next Friday I should have it looked at by the CHP. Since it might be a...

    Just won another m923a2

    No, must be someone else. We just bid and won a M1101 trailer. :naner: I am going to modify it to pull behind our pickup and our Jeep. It is to low to fit behind the M923a2.

    windshield wiper

    I start up my M923a2, wait until air pressure light is out, put the truck into reverse, and back up about 50 ft. Then put it in drive and then the right windshield wiper cycles twice. Scares the heck out of my first time passengers. This happens every time. Anyone know why?

    how to get rid of drmo numbers

    After removing the writing, I painted the area using Rust-oleum High Heat flat black. After drying, the paint is an exact match for the original black on the truck. The truck looks great now. Thanks

    how to get rid of drmo numbers

    Both the lacquer thinner and brake cleaner worked for me. It takes a lot of scrubbing, but eventually it comes off. Thanks again.

    how to get rid of drmo numbers

    Thanks guys... No my truck is cameo. They did not have any tan trucks when I bid on mine. Here is the original posting of the truck we purchased. On the rear picture, you can see the writing. I just learned how to upload pictures, so here are two of them from my house. I will check with...

    how to get rid of drmo numbers

    How to remove writing on back of truck. Ours came with blue and pink writing on the tailgate. It looked like crayon, but wd40, diesel fuel nor solvent, would not remove the writing. What are you guys using to remove the writing? If you are painting over it, do you have a parts number for cameo...

    Delivery of M923A2

    I thank all of you for the very good information. As a new member to the 5ton club, I have a lot to learn, and at my age, not much time to learn it. When you are 70+ health issues flood in. In the last four days, I went to a funeral of a friend, my sister-in-law had a stroke and is in ICU, my...

    Ghosts in my M923a2

    Thanks, I will try to trace out the problem. I am amazed about how good almost everything is on this truck. It does ride a bit rough with 80 psi in the tires. I just am a little hesitant to see the bulge in the tires when there is about 60 lbs in them. They look good with 80 lbs. in them. Ride...
