    Abs fuse "BLOWS".

    Doing some work on the 923 today and decided to install my spare pcb box hoping it would solve the abs light being on at all times. Got it on, flipped the switch and still the light was on. Crawled under the dash, which isn't an easy chore, and fracked down the fuse holders. First I found the 3...

    What is this?

    I believe it's a bobbed deuce with a hmmwv body on it. Looks like a deuce winch and probably added clearance for the multifuel motor. Does it belong to anyone or does anyone have anymore info and pics. Thanks.

    M923 Battery Relocation Idea

    I have an idea for relocating the batteries on my M923. I am wondering if the battery boxes off an older m813 would fit on top of the rear tool box. There's about a thirteen inch gab between the top of the box and the bottom of the bed. Might have to move that side marker light back a few...

    Oil change nightmare!

    Last Saturday I went to change my oil for the first time and boy was I in for a big surprise. I had everything I needed for the change, six 5 quart jugs of rotella, new spin on filter adaptor, fleet guard filter, and some Lucas oil additive.

    M923A1 Air Leak

    I had my 923 running today when I heard a air leak. It wasn't coming from underneath the truck but under the hood. Popped it up, climbed up in and traced it to a hexagonal part coming out the front towards the top of the motor. It's to the left of the radiator hose coming out the top passenger...
