    Firefighter veteran looking to buy a M923

    Thanks! I was very fortunate with my truck. Everything is fresh, not a speck of dirt anywhere and the motor is as shiny as it could be. It's got the LED dash warning lights with clear lenses which I've only seen in one other truck. The civy hitch is a great idea and I wish I had enough room on...

    M925 Hard Start and fluctuating idle

    I had the same problem with the idle. Make sure the emergency shut off lever is open all the way.. I would open the petcock on the fuel canister and drain it all the way, close it completely, open the one at the primer then pump it for a long time. It took a while for my system to prime up. If...

    Firefighter veteran looking to buy a M923

    You can check classified ads on here also. I would suggest trying to find someone that is willing to insure the truck first thing. I would also read the operations TM on your spare time. Other than that its seems mostly personal preference between the two motors and what you may be using it for...

    clutch problems after attempted tow in 5 ton wrecker

    Possibly the pressure plate or throw out bearing? Mechanical clutch or hydraulic? Depending on that, it could be the linkage or slave cylinder.

    Tires mysteriously going flat (M818 + FMTV rims + Michelin 395/85R20)

    Maybe try a grinder with a wire wheel and take it to the surface of the rim that makes contact with the tire (bead) around the whole circumference and after prime the rim where you cleaned it as to not rust the rim from the inside out. Then use some good tire lube when re seating the tire. Worth...

    lifting a stock deuce

    I believe he means, with locking differentials in both rear axles you'll be able to go through or over most things within reason. A locking diff or (lockers) is part of the differential inside the ring gear. It is a mechanical device that is automatically, air or electronically actuated...

    Seat Options M 923A2

    Goldeneagle modified his seats I believe, not sure if the pass seats are suspension or not but look up his thread "goldeneagle's recovery" or something to the affect. His mods are very well documented and informative.

    Pigtails for sealed beam headlights..

    Thats what I figured. This is what confused me, by "that" I think hndrsonj was asking if the M939 series came with the plug and I didn't understand what he was asking at the time because In post #1 I had spoke of the military pigtails and how they were soldered to the leads on the bulb (on my...

    Pigtails for sealed beam headlights..

    I recently ordered wagner 28v sealed beam headlights from the local parts house for my M932A1. They don't come with the military style pigtails and the pigtails on the origional units are soldered on. I searched around a little bit and found universal pigtails for sealed beams that SHOULD plug...
