I finally got around to trying to install the bows and tarp, but the forward most bow wouldn't go in all the way, seemed like it was way to narrow. I looked at my Tm that came with the truck and couldn't figure out if I actually need 5 or 6 bows. I'm sure it's 6 but the TM shows 5 in one pic and...

I was just seeing if anybody is going to the IPMS national contest in Columbus,Oh this year?

I started my truck Wednesday at 32 degrees. Started fine a bit slow but still cranked and fired up. I went out today (22 degrees)to bring her home and the batteries don't have enough to get a good crank.So I'm going out again to charge the batteries . So I got to wondering if there is some way...

I've looked through all the TM's the best that I can and haven't found anything on the size of the upper radiator hose elbow #8 on page 3-155 of the Technical Manual. I would copy and paste the page but haven't figured that out either.So does anybody have a replacement number, or actually what...

I took my ether assist start valve and solenoid apart yesterday in attempt to fix it. Well the valve is in perfect working order, but can't say the same for the solenoid. The solenoid is toast,dead, seen better days, pushing up daisies. IS it possible to buy just the solenoid part? I also seen...

I recently bought some wheels and tires from jcappeljr and the deal couldn't have gone any better for me! I say for me, because I set the transporter up to be at his place at 8:00am, but the truck didn't show up until 7:00pm. I really have to give this guy 2 thumbs up for the great sale and...

I will admit I had no clue what the difference between hub/stud piloted wheels was. After the explanation from a few members, I went to talk with a mechanic at work. I finally was able to speak with him today. I really trust this guy. He not only explained it to me (again) but also showed me the...

As some of yall know I have 4 aluminum wheels that will go on the 5 ton at the end of next week when I get the final 3 wheels and after testing to make sure that everything is up to snuff.I have already done a couple tests to see what the thread size,depth,hole diameter,drill size,metal to metal...

I have one skid of tires that needs picked up from Delta,PA ,forklift loaded (from the ground) onto the trailer from the seller. Delivered to Enon,OH I don't have anything to unload at my residence, but I'm trying to "borrow" a dock at where I work in Springfield,OH. If so I can unload the skid...

What type of wheel is this, and is it possible to fit this on a M923? Thanks for the help!

I went outback to check on the truck and the tires because I'm a bit worried about the apending sale, So I decided to start the ol'gal and the dogs were about. So I told them both whatever girl gets in here first is the new co-pilot of the big boy. I waited just a few seconds and here comes...

Just a few shots of my two trucks, nothing to report and no problems other than what I've already posted. Just thought the size difference is pretty incredible.

Do I have to have the troop seats in to put the bows in and tarp on? I have the drivers side troop seat and all the bows, but am missing the passenger side troop seat, and the tarp is folded up laying in the garage and is starting to show signs of sitting that way.I really want to put the tarp...

I'm very hopefully looking to buy a M923A2 from GL in an upcoming auction. I know that my current truck will pull it home, and I have read the manual on towing but I still would like to hear from people that have actually done this in the "real world" as composed to what is stated in a book. Yes...

I have a air leak deep under the dash of my 84' m923 and the best way to find the leak is to pull the instrument cluster. So is there any words of advice before I embark on this journey? I tried to twist and turn my large body to find the leak but that's not happening, So this is going to be the...

I took the bigboy for a small drive today and noticed that I couldn't figure out how to turn the hazard lights on. I know there is a pull switch under the turn signal lever,but mine doesn't pull out. I'm pretty sure that means it's either stuck or broke. So my question is ,Is the switch broke or...

I've been fairly busy on the M923 84' model. I fixed the in cab air leaks 3 in total. So that was good. I also figured out why the gaps in the window seals is so great. The seals were installed with about 1/2" hanging below the guide channels, and after the doors were opened and closed over time...

84' M923 855 cummins; I have looked at the spread sheet and I'm still confused as to what oil filter and gasket I need. This is the slip in type. So what filter and gasket do I need? Second; (probably the dumbest ?) How much oil will I loose if I take the filter out? and change the filter and...

I trained in automotive mechanics for a few years, and know that every car ever made has a wiring schematic and flow chart for any problem that arises with said car. I was wondering if there are any for the MV community. I have a "operator's manual", but that is very different than the a fore...

Since , I have been told by the moderators to keep everything about my truck in one post, I have a new question. Some scum bag shot my drivers side wind sheild with a BB gun and now I can't drive it. I have contacted safelite auto to come fix it and they said that they could, but they didn't...
