    M923A2 6CTA8.3 engine serial number needed

    I need a replacement banjo bolt for the outlet of the fuel filter on my engine, the one with the bleeder screw. My local dealer "can't find anything" without an engine serial number. I can't get to my truck today to get the serial number. Could somebody give me the serial number of the...

    How I wired up front running lights

    After installing LEDs on the truck I decided I'd like the front amber running lights to be on with the headlights. I've seen ways to jumper wires at the light switch, and even a modified wiring harness that does the same thing. Since the truck has a marker light right there that runs with the...

    M923 parking brake spring brake issue

    The parking brake on my truck is not releasing the spring brakes when disengaged. I need to use the spring brake override on the dash in order to move the truck. The drivetrain parking brake works as it should. I can't find a troubleshooting guide in the TMs that cover the air part of the...

    I finally had a chance to cut the locks of the tool boxes of my new truck, and...... NOTHING. Not even a mouse turd. I think this was somebodys idea of a cruel joke. This is very likely going to cause me to drink heavily tonight. And maybe tomorrow night too.

    LED lights on M101 trailer

    I picked up some boxes and LED lights on eBay, painted them and bolted them to the trailer. Man is it nice not to have to screw around with the magnet lights any more! Although I have no current need for the military lights, I thought I'd keep them just in case I find a CUCV that I just can't...

    MEP-701A project complete (I think)

    Finally finished up the generator I picked up this summer. I really have to thank those on here for their expertise in helping folks like me with little experience but a desire to fix up and use these things. Between answering my questions and reading through all the other posts I think I have...

    My new M101A2 - rear leg issue

    Another successful recovery from the good folks at the GL lot in Sparta, WI. Everything seems to be working and in good shape with the exception of the rear leg. It has the outer tube and the threaded rod inside, just no inner tube and foot. Anybody know where I could find either the part I...

    My first MEP-701A / couple questions

    Well, I picked up my first surplus generator and luckily it appears I did OK. It is a 1988 MEP-016B that I assume had the ASK installed when new based on the “88” in the 701a serial number. It has a 2010 battery with a good charge and fresh clean oil in the crankcase. 591 hours on the meter...

    My new M105 different than my old M105

    I just picked up what appears to be a never used 2008 VSE rebuilt M105A2. (It says it was a 1982 before the rebuild). I was surprised to see several differences from my old 1987 M105A2. 1. There are more braces on the outside of the trailer box. 2. There are braces on the inside of the...

    Small tool found in deuce. What is it?

    This hose and tool were in the Deuce when I bought it. I tossed it in a box and found it cleaning up in the garage this weekend. I would have guessed it was to fill tires, but it is straight through with no valve of any kind. Curiously the treaded end fits neither end of the hose it is...
