I took the bigboy for a small drive today and noticed that I couldn't figure out how to turn the hazard lights on. I know there is a pull switch under the turn signal lever,but mine doesn't pull out. I'm pretty sure that means it's either stuck or broke. So my question is ,Is the switch broke or...

It's basically the same as your car. Drain fluid, replace whatever your replacing( filter,gasket,etc) Replace the fluid you drained minus 2 quarts. Start the truck let it warm to normal operating temperature, put transmission in gear for a minimum of 10 seconds each gear, recheck fluid level and...

I do have to say that I have run valvolene in every motor I have ever had . I have never had a problem with bearings,rods,cam,lifters,etc,etc. I use their synthetic in my pick up. Yes it is very pricey but well worth it. I plan on keeping this truck until I'm .......well dead! Which I hope is a...

I have yet another dumb question.aua Deiseljoe3;Said that he uses 10w 40 for motor oil, My valve cover is marked with 15w 40.I know that 15 is thicker, but which oil should be used? I have also heard that once you use synthetic, you shouldn't go back to standard oil. IS that true?

5tonman;That green grease, is that the stuff that is also rated for extreme cold temperatures?

From what I remember from watching the Air Guard Fire Team practice, they used water. But that was practice, m1010plowboy;I would check the air hoses that have been rubbing the paint off in picture 6.If they are anything like a Freightliner. Then that rubbing is the problem.

You Sir are a master at not only MV, but music!

I love that fire truck, but I'm SOOOOOOO very happy that you have to deal with it. Way to much technical stuff for me to get into. But she sure does clean up nice!!!! I would imagine for a crash truck, that the fire crew would be notified in advance of aircraft coming in, so the truck would be...

I just returned home from Napa, and you have to ask for the "ATI or AITI sale". I just BS'd my way through it and told him that the friends I had on a forum I belong to told me about this sale. That's when he stated something about the a fore mentioned.You have to state that it's about "big...

I have a M923 1984', and am having the same problem. I have looked through all the TM's and the closest I could get was." Spring Brake Warning light inoperative with Spring Brake override engaged". Didn't help. Wrong problem.

I only wish they did, My mother was working at the NCO club across the street, and my father had to go to his day job at the local hospital(mercy). So there are no pictures that I'm aware of. I do wish that there were. I would spend a ton of money( not literally,but to me) to come and just sit...

I have a great memory from what I believe is this truck, but it may be the 4x4 pictured above, to young to remember how many tires she had. My father was in the local ANG, actually 178th ANG to be exact, and was good friends with the fire captain. He ( the captain) had set up a day where my...

I'm not sure if this will help you any, but I did a google search and came up with this. http://www.ehow.com/how_7892731_troubleshoot-24volt-alternator-wire.html

I've been fairly busy on the M923 84' model. I fixed the in cab air leaks 3 in total. So that was good. I also figured out why the gaps in the window seals is so great. The seals were installed with about 1/2" hanging below the guide channels, and after the doors were opened and closed over time...

84' M923 855 cummins; I have looked at the spread sheet and I'm still confused as to what oil filter and gasket I need. This is the slip in type. So what filter and gasket do I need? Second; (probably the dumbest ?) How much oil will I loose if I take the filter out? and change the filter and...

You can find him on facebook @ Rogers Military Surplus LLC. I bought my 5 ton from him.

I trained in automotive mechanics for a few years, and know that every car ever made has a wiring schematic and flow chart for any problem that arises with said car. I was wondering if there are any for the MV community. I have a "operator's manual", but that is very different than the a fore...

I really want to got to Haspin Acres, sounds like a really really good time, but I'll be in Florida that week. Anybody else want/need to go another time for a smaller rally?

Jayco,That sounds like a lot of fun, I just hope that it would be a day that I don't have to work, but will most likely be. Sounds Like there's a lot of members with in a 15 minute drive from me. Maybe we could get our own convoy to start this show off right!!!!!!:wink:

I know this thread has been dead for over a year now, but I would love for something like this to happen. My truck is a Wright Patt truck, So it would almost be a home coming party for my truck.
