Leaking oil cooler will put oil in the coolent, not the inverse. I had the same issue, turned out to be #3 cyl liner scrored/cracked. Symptoms; Started and ran ok, made stream at idle that burned the eyes. Drop the oil pan and bar the engine over. Let us know. JC

-the winch and transmission fluid do not intermix. The winch hydraulic fluid is OE10 hydraulic fluid, source; Tractor supply. As mentioned by Fasttruck, you NEED to get the maintenance documents that support your truck; LO TMs parts manuals. These documents can be found on the web, in hard copy...

Tbar, I believe your truck was just a M923 with 11.00 x 20 tires. A1s & A2s have the same tire; 14.00 x 20. hence they share the same spare tire carrier. You upgraded your tires and I came and picked up your 11.00 x 20s. JC

Tbar, Nice work, hopefully you have a "soldier B" assisting? You wouldn't be the first guy found knocked out (or worse) next to your truck.

:popcorn: Standing by for reply.

Big tires play **** on the steering box, that will fail next.

My M35A3 out of WPAFB had red ATF in it. Replace it with Dextron III. I have found it in several 5 ton power steering units, could have been good ol' Mil 5606

Now we're talking, jack rabbits and ground rats, that fun. I'd source the weapons station gun ring and go to town on them....

Good ol' 5606, ( Hyd fluid ,red). Used in most general aviation aircraft. I have found it in 5 ton power steering units. F type ATF is a good substitute.

Welcome to the madness. Nice truck. I would bypass the restoration idea and go right to enjoying it with your 3 boys. Find the lube orders and service it first. Get everyone checked out in it, and head out for some recreational use. Have fun, be safe.

Thanks, stay warm. JC

Good deal, you're in good hands. Take some photos of his work.

Shouldn't you be in bed sipping chicken soup? I'm sipping chicken broth, getting ready to prep for a 08:00 colonoscopy tomorrow.

You will need the replacement side brackets and frame supports. The battery box is very tall compared to the tool box. The braces and brackets that support the bat. box are about 2" longer. You may be able to cut and splice the existing bracketry.

AB, I also got a 87 A2 out of WRAFB last year. Same lot as AKM's truck. All maint. records back to birth/delivery. Original engine is still installed. Painted tan, no slave, hardtop, solar charger, and the data plate has been cut/demilled. Replacement data plate on hand. Enjoy your truck, it is...

Yes, and it located in KY and is for sale, very reasonable. M923 w/ 31K miles. Cover and bows included. It currently under 15" of snow. CARNAC, get better soon.

Same in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, No CDL for the farmers, Farm plates on all my big trucks, muck cheaper fees and taxes.

Don't forgat to wash the truck and undercarrige to rid it of the road salt. It will be worth it in the long run.

Takes an afternoon with a couple buddies. A crane would be real handy. It can be removed without a crane. Block up the box and drive the truck out.

That will work, box a pair up and I PM you. thanks JC
