So, I used a BAS (big ass screwdriver) on the starter solenoid terminals. Sparks flew, my life passed before my eyes, but I did get a whirling noise from the starter so I went inside the truck and it started. I then restarted 10 times and the truck started 9 out of 10 times. I'm glad the...

I'm having the same issue. I replaced all the batteries (they were old anyway) and still no luck. Then I replaced the starter/solenoid and the truck started for about a month, but now I'm getting the same thunk noise and no starting again. I'll check for a loose ground. Anybody in the...

Thanks again! I spoke with Jeff briefly. He's going to put in a new steering gearbox when he gets time.

Update: Timntrucks saved my butt. Tim drove 2 hours each way to recover my truck. Unlike the photos, the truck had 3 flat tires which Tim filled. It also ran out of gas a few feet out of the gates (thanks GovPlanet) and has a horrible sounding steering gear box. After much priming, Tim got...

I'm near Annapolis. Did Sean have other military vehicles?

Yes, I need both. I'll send you a PM now with the info and my contact info.

Jeff's private messages are full so I sent him an email.

Yeah, I just called GovPlanet and the truck is at an "alternate location". Here's the exact address for other members who might buy trucks from the Mississippi location of GovPlanet. And the Google maps puts the location on Old Highway 49 which is not correct. If you put in the auctioneer...

OK, thanks. The invoice says, Pickup: Keesler AFB, MS 39534 I'll call and confirm before anybody goes to pick up. Is there a battery warehouse near Keesler AFB?

By the way, are any of you Maryland locals interested in making a few bucks by helping me make some repairs to my m923a2. Nothing major. Defrost lever, trans temp gauge, slow leak in front tire (maybe CTIS, maybe tire?).....

That's pretty early, but I'll try to make it since Ollie will be there.

Thanks for the reply! Yes, it is GovPlanet which is just like GL. It needs to be removed by January 19th which is a holiday so I will find out if that means it must be out by the 16th. Yes, I will need temp storage. Let me know your rates for removal and storage. The inspection says they...

I just bought a m931a2 at Keesler, AFB in Mississippi. The truck looks good in the photos and inspections. Anybody in MS that could check it out and/or drive it out for me in the next week or so? If not, looks like I got a road trip in my future. [thumbzup] Thanks!

After I posted my message, I thought to search on egt and boost and up came photos. It has been a long week. Brain is slow. But, please post more photos. I'm leaning towards the Westach dual gauge now.

That is awesome! That's exactly what I need. If only you lived in Maryland, or I knew how to weld. Any chance you could weld up the hanger plates and tubing for me and ship it up here? Edit: I'm guessing that many others would be interested....

Speaking of EGT gauges, how many folks have put an EGT and/or Boost gauge on their Cummins 6cta8.3 engines? If so, do you have photos of where you mounted them and did you go with Autometer or somebody else?

Has anybody else put a receiver hitch on their m923 ? The Curt website does not give any dimensions of the receiver brackets so I'm not sure which one to order. On my truck it looks like I could attach brackets inside the truck frame at 26" or outside the beam at 34". I think the receive...

I read somewhere that the A2 Cummins 8.3 engine is lighter than the Cummins 250 engine. My CTIS is still working fine. Although, I have not put it threw its paces yet. The trucks do come with a spare super single tire, but I would not want to change one on the side of a highway. Hello truck...

Yeah, the "touch smaller" is killing me. Thanks for the info on my new dolly. The farmer who I bought this from told me it was a surge brake but he probably didn't know.
