    Off Road Lighting

    I have used some of the square LED lights. The work well but are not for long range. They can also leak water into them. I have some on order that I'm going to put on my other truck. But, this time I'm going to put silicone around the edges and on the wires. I'm also going to spray them green...

    Tactical Doc's M923 fuel preservative choice

    Never heard of the stuff. But, reading the reviews it seems great. I do store fuel for a year at a time and then cycle it every year with stabil in it. The good thing about this is that you can store fuel for up to 5 years but u have to add more every year. That cant be done with Stabil. You...

    I'll look again but I didn't see a drain cock on it

    Fuel filter adapter for M923-A1

    I have done the research here on SS and it seems like an adapter for the fuel filter isn't needed since its easy to do. However, it would be nice to have a fuel water separator with drain cock. Does anyone make this adapter for the M923-A1? I'm also thinking of getting an oil filter...

    11.2 Miles Per Gallon in a M923A1?

    I believe the range of the truck is 350 miles and the tank is 81 gal. so the mpg should be about 5 MPG. But I'm not sure if that's leaving a reserve.

    Tactical Doc's M923 fuel preservative choice

    M939 What Fluid for Trans/Pwr Stg?

    Looked up a lot of old posts and just called 2 Allison Trans Service shops. spoke to them about the MT654CR which is not electric. Both recommended that 10w40 should be fine and they wouldn't change it to Dex3. One said Dex 3 is no longer recommended in Allison trans because it does something to...

    M925 A2 very disappointed in ability

    also you may not want to add much weight in the back when going in fine sand in sand you want to float ... ie wider tires, less aggressive tires and less tire pressure in mud and ice you want to sink where you can grip firm ground ... ie thinner tires, more aggressive tires (meaning bigger...

    M925 A2 very disappointed in ability

    I was going to say this too...you can get a traction mat but its going to be a pain if you have to move it every few feet

    M925 A2 very disappointed in ability

    I believe its 50 to 90 PSI for my 1400s on my M923. I'd put it down to 50 in the sand and run them at 70 normally. I also have a Viair 450P that I can use to fill it up.

    M925 A2 very disappointed in ability

    consider a 100 gal transfer tank in the back. it adds 7 to 800 lbs. also put your tow bars back there. you can mount them using any spare feet you may have. I'm also putting a gang box in the back for all my tools and spare parts. Also another spare tire and generator. Better to have things you...

    M925 A2 very disappointed in ability

    first thing I noticed is that the sand isn't that fine second thing I noticed is that they don't have lockers and at least one of the rear wheels would stop if they had lockers they would have made it up much easier

    M925 A2 very disappointed in ability

    lockers? had mine in sand and mud but have rear lockers... no problem never took it up a big sand hill in general wider tires are better for sand. I think the mich 385 tires and 1600 tires are wider than the 1400s I have <------ m923 with lockers

    Why a 5 ton instead of a 2.5 ton?

    had a deuce that I sold. then got a Marine M923-A1. Much easier to drive. Faster, more power and bigger tires. It can go almost anywhere especially with the rear lockers and 1400 tires. Gas is an issue but that's why I put a 100 gal transfer tank in the back and will put another tank on the...

    Deuce Winch Stump Pulling

    I once tried to pull one deuce out of mud with another deuce using a snatch block. all it did was pull the winch deuce toward the stuck deuce. we had to put another truck behind the deuce to give it more weight/traction. the deuce ndt tires and light weight (13K) isn't helpful. I'll have my...

    M923 receiver/hitch assembly

    M923 frame is 29 to 34 (inner / outer width) the only factory mount I see that will fit is this - Curt 13703 Class III Receiver Hitch it doesn't look as strong as others but for under 300 it will do
