    M931 Oil in water

    Copy that, oil in water is cheaper to fix that water in oil. Drain it all as precautionary and really make sure there in no water in the bottom of the oil pan. Perfect time to install spin on oil filter adapter, I have them listed in classified.

    Anyone ever had issues with the Transmission mounts on the M900/923A2 series trucks?

    Good deal, I have a bearing on my M925 doing the same thing, found the part on flea bay, got it for less than $50. They are available commercially also. Now find a pair of front axle drive hubs and de-spline them. Install and you have poor man lockout front hubs. Keeps the wear and tear off the...

    Anyone ever had issues with the Transmission mounts on the M900/923A2 series trucks?

    Take a look at the carrier bearing that supports the front drive shaft, they make a clanging /rattle noise that comes and goes w/ bumps.(when then bearing is loose/wearing).

    Qualifications for Working on Deuces et. al.

    Looks to be a 1970. The VIN number posted is a composite of the original Army registration number (05B21570) and the vehicle serial number(C12410694), (the serial number should be stamped on the frame rail at or behind the front left tire.) It's powered by the NHC 250, check all the fluids...

    Electrical issue on M923A2

    First, do you have the operators manual? A must to properly operate these vehicles. The "kill" switch is actual the emergency fuel shut off "t" handle on the dash, it is pure mechanical. Check that it is reseting at the injector pump, follow the cable. The pop your heard is most likely a loose...
