Hauled my deuce to an event and kept the rig as a static display, also hauled a CAT955L and unfortunately when the guy backed down it slipped and slid sideways slamming down on my ramp and bent it slightly. Will repair it, in the meantime I added some 1” solid square stock to the ramp sides...
Easiest way is find a ditch, these trucks do not articulate well at all, and quite frequently if I hit my driveway idling in off the road (slow speed) and my truck flexes the rears will simply quit pulling and I have to gently mash the brakes to stop the free rolling wheels and engage my rear...
For future reference, there is an air solenoid up by your horn solenoid with a red circle and a slot in it, you can take a small flathead (think glasses or control screw driver) and manually engage the solenoid to test run your fan.
The MTVR uses a improved system over the old M939 5 tons for...
Speaking of this, I greatly respect RWH advise in every subject but nonetheless a supplemental ground harness significantly helped my issues in my M1123 blowing headlights, gauges etc and bad charging

Easiest way to test is with the little flathead screw driver I mentioned and twist the little red knob. If you hear air move through there’s about a 90% chance that one locked under the truck as the engagement system under the truck is very robust but the electronic solenoids that you bypass...
The only thing I can be of use on is question 1), and the answer is No; you do not want to idle it as damage to the power generation side will happen quickly if idled.
However, what I like to do before actually starting one is open the engine door and use the switch inside to crank the engine...
Well boys the ol 1123 is painted. Total cost? $200 including the harbor freight HVLP gun!
Sprayed with Behr exterior paint. Now she’s up for sale

Recovered a M353 and an MTVR BII kit, unfortunately the brake shoes were dragging on the trailer. Found out after driving 1/2 mile and stopping to check hub temps (just bought at auction) and found them warm. Grabbed a wrench and backed them off real quick and off we went!

Yeah I finally got sick of waiting and being told my paperwork was lost and resubmitted, then when I had paper proof they were lying I called them and informed them this conversation was being recorded, and sent evidence stating that they should proceed carefully because I’m...
I’m in Georgia and when I purchased my 1123 April of 2020 my euc cleared in January 2021 after I proved they were lying and failed to submit my paperwork for approval. Even had DLA and TSC involved in a nasty investigation. Long story short, picked truck up in January, just 10 days after DLA and...
Okay, I’d check fuses next I’m not sure which one it is, and also go under hood and remove the TIM box located high on firewall. It may be toast and you can confirm by removing and disassembling to see if the board inside is smoked

My hubs average 145+, and once you get up to temp they along with your axles will “howl”. The hotter it gets, the more the noise. Especially driving near non-stop from cali to georgia mine were LOUD.
Since you just purchased this truck, I’d highly advise changing all 6 hubs gear oil, and...
