    Is the CTIS a deal breaker?

    I have 2 M923A2's and neither have had problems. I think I'm one of the very few that have had no problems for I hear many people have. I love airing down on a rough road or in deep snow.

    Trucklite Tail light and front blinker longevity?

    Wow I keep hearing more and more negative things about the LED headlights. I have been dreaming of these but now even if I had the money I don't think I would buy them!

    its sad but true. A few years ago I bought a M923A2 that had no bondo but black silicone patching the holes. I was so angry I contacted the base in Germany who had thus truck the last 10 years of its life and asked them more info. The staff Sargent told me they don't do much of any maintenance...

    Leesburg GA Christmas Parade including my New Truck

    I wish we had these in Italia. I would have attended yours if not for the big "pond" and thousands of kilometers. You did good!

    LPG, natural gas, and hybrid have no restriction at any day or any time of the year. I have a older car and can't get into the city center with my car but I don't need to go there or want to go. I live in the mountains and my shop and equipment building is in a small town so I don't have...

    Bed Reflectors

    The last M 923A2 I bought had faded and I mean really faded reflectors on all the corners of the bed. I wish these trucks could talk sometimes to tell what they have been through to explain things we find. MWMULES said the right combination for your question.

    New V-100

    I have pulled my FV432 with one of my M923A2's. Straight line pull was not bad but tight turns we're tough! Nice tank you have saved.

    What end dump trailer on a M931? Mods required?

    I pulled one with my M931A1. I expected power problems but in flat land no problems. In the mountains it was a nite mare going up and with no jake or exhaust brake going down I was curing my toes! The king pin is a different size than our euro trailers but it was a easy fix. The PTO, PUMP was a...

    We have days the cars are stopped to lower the level. Only hybrid, LPG, and natural gas cars can enter big cities. This only happens when we don't get much rain.

    Went to super singles on my M923

    Nice work. Nice paint prep and details. I would love to have you for my neighbor! I'm a little sloppy when it comes to paint prep and over spray. In regards to mileage on the truck and things should be ok you should always expect the worse in maintenance. I have had bought trucks (direct ex)...

    Coolant problem need help

    I had a similar problem on my A1. I thought the water was coming from the expansion tank, the level was going down but the leak was just below the tank on the heat exchange cooler / transmission. A hose clamp on a tube had weakened. All the signs were saying the coolant on the floor was coming...

    I have A1's and A2's. I can give you pros and cons with both. I love the CTIS on my A2s but I've heard many people having problems with them. I also love the turbo on the A2's but hate the lag. I love the torque right off the line on the A1 but can live with less of its noise. Everyone can find...
