I agree with the above statement fully. I bought my first one from a local seller. It gave me the chance to go through the truck completely and get a great idea of exactly what I was getting into. Plus the test drive sealed the deal. You may pay a little more, but it beats going to recover one...

Its pretty flat where i live also. Plus I just like the look the 1600s give a 939 series.

Im sure its even worse with the NHC-250 in the A1's. Hmm that just might change my mind. How does an A1 do with 1400s?

That's good to know. Ill be sure and stock up on em. Thanks for the info.

I hate to hear about you running into someone like that right off the bat. I can assure you most Oklahoma folk are not that unfriendly. Heck if you would have moved a little further south to my neck of the woods I would have gladly let you store your deuce on my back lot. Ive got a few back...

That's good to hear. I was also considering making the swap. I had seen people do it but I never bothered to ask about rubbing issues.

There's a Flag run/walk vigil planned over here on Joint Base Balad, that I'm taking part in. I wish I could be home for the anniversary, I would definitely be flying the stars and stripes from the front bumper.

Thats a heck of a deal. I recently propositioned a few people to paint my M1009 with my paint. They quoted me anywhere from 1200-1800 for a vehicle that needs hardly any prep work and no rust. Just clean, mask and shoot.

Thats what has got me on the fence on the 1400's vs 1600's issue. It really just depends on what tires I can come across first.

Alright, Ill try it out and see. Ive got a few of these wheels and Im getting them ready to mount 1600 R20s on.

Does anybody know a source or a part number? I know for certain that the O ring from a Hemtt wheel will not work.

That is one beautiful M923. That's what I hope mine will look like at end state. Are those tires 1400's or 1600's ? Im guessing 1400's

Man! That's one beautiful truck. It looks like it just rolled off the assembly line. Quality work right there.

Don't forget to degrease the whole truck before pressure washing. When I painted mine I used a pump up garden sprayer filled with industrial de greaser. The paint stuck to all surfaces like a champ afterward.

I too have a leaky transfer case in both of my CUCV's. Like bushhawg73, my leaks are not bad enough to prompt a rebuild. I'm lucky if I loose a quart a year. Most of my fluid is lost around the rear output shaft. The fluid loss looks way worse than it actually is. I found out in a hurry that...

Looks good. I used the same brand and color of paint on the inside of my m1009 blazer to serve as a temporary rust stopper until I can get a proper coat of paint on the entire vehicle. I really like how its holding up to wear and the various chemicals I spilled inside the back compartment.

I cant be sure about Florida, but here in Oklahoma, you have to apply for a SF-97 from Gov Liquidation (which cost $60) and once you recieve that you take it to the local tag office and do a request for title. You get the title in the mail in a few weeks. Its kinda weird too, both of my deuces...

You can never tell about GL's condition descriptions. I recently bought a M923 and in the description is said DOES NOT START DOES NOT RUN, but lo and behold I hooked the battery cables up and pressed the start button and she came to life. The same can be said for several trucks that I have...

Congratulations on the new truck. The lack of brake pressure could be as simple as lack of fluid, or it could be a number of other problems such as air pack/master cylinder going bad. When you get it running be sure to go through the entire brake system. My deuce had the same problem when I...

I became a proud 5 ton owner a few weeks ago. I orginally had won a non running 1984 m923 out of Ft. Sill Oklahoma and expected the worst when it came to the recovery. I had It pulled off base by a local towing company and took the trip down to see what I had gotten myself into. I got the...
