Machinist; I can tell you that there are 4 L shaped brackets on the frame that basically bolt the bed to the frame that are not adjustable. So you would have to weld new brackets into place. I think there is also 2 spring loaded bolt locations that also would need to be moved.But that is how my...

Mtnsnow; Thank you Sir, That really clears a lot up for me. I thought that any 5 ton before the A2 was classified as an A1.So that is the reason why Carlo's truck has the wider version.

Mtnsnow; So there is basically 3 different versions? A M923-M923 A1- M923 A2?

Scar; That is correct, but there is a definite difference between the 2 tire carriers.They might have come from the factory with 2 different carriers per what tire they were built with.There is also a difference between the distance of the cab and bed. I can't recall right off the top of my...

Scar; I'm a one man crew! I'm very fortunate that when it snapped the chain fall and the eyelet went the other direction, or I might be in the hospital right now! Machinist; I did not move the bed. That was my original plan, but because I would have to weld (no welder) new brackets on. I just...

I finally got around to installing the A2 spare tire carrier. It was a bigger job than originally anticipated!Had some holes to drill, only 3 if you can believe that! Pic #5;The A1 spare tire carrier removed. The 4 arrows are the main attachment holes ,which aligned perfectly with the A2. Pic...

I'm entering my local Memorial day parade and am planning on towing the Company I work for trailer. This is a civilian type trailer and is 12 volt. So I was thinking about putting a "tow light" set up for the brake.and turn signal function. What are these called? Just tow light set? I also need...

I was!!! and leaning to the right, and it still came up long!!!rofl

I had a pretty productive day today! I first flushed the coolant system, and wow was this thing gummed up. I then reinstalled the 2nd temp sensor, and the fan clutch actuator valve. I also changed the coolant filter, next was installing the Extinguisher, then it was on to replacing the passenger...

Most appreciative of that sir! Thank you!

Thanks Jeepsinker; So you have had good results from the Hotshot?

I have done some more research on these products and have listened to my fellow SS members. I think that hotshot 3000 ( a fuel injector cleaner) is a tad bit out of my price range for the performance it provides. I can get the same results with a cheaper product. As the Motorkote goes, I guess...

I have an 84' M923 and was searching for extra's like gun tubs, antenna's ,fuel tanks, anything. I would like to eventually like to dress mine up as much as I can for public display at events like car shows, and parades. So any and all advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Oh, Well I was completely wrong again! LOL! Good way to do it!

Sharp looking truck! Have you checked the fifth wheel for proper function? The reason I ask is I drove an older frieghtliner, That when you uncoupled the teeth would latch for whatever reason and you had to pull the pin and manually unlock the teeth with a prybar. I think that truck sat for...

Is it leaking air from the actuator? If so just remove the inserts ( while on the engine ),clean the threads, add new teflon tape and reinstall. If not get the truck to full air ,shut the truck off and listen for the air leak. Then report back, so that someone can help with better advice on the...

What were you attempting to do here? Looks like you were raising an axle!
