    Air Pressure High

    So driving my M923A2 home from work I noticed the air pressure seemed to be higher then normal at just over 130 pounds. I also noticed on shutdown I have an air leak from a line going into the air governor. The leak was substantial enough to cause a drop in air pressure at idle. When driving...

    Emergency Flashers Inop

    So I tried searching but came up empty handed on this one. My emergency flashers decided to stop working on me the other day. I drove the truck to work and all was good on my pre trip prior to leaving the house and all was fine. I go to start the truck to go home and checked all my lights...

    MPG difference with cargo cover vs no cover

    I am planning on taking my truck on a trip next weekend. It will be a few hundred miles round trip at most. With a M923A2 with the 6CTA 8.3L Cummins how much difference on fuel mileage will I see if I drive with the cargo cover installed versus having the cargo cover removed. I just got the...

    Cargo Cover Super Rope

    I am planning on ordering some of the correct super rope for my cargo cover but in the mean time I am thinking about using 550 cord to keep my cargo cover on. Now to make long trips or drive anything over about 45 mph the cover will come off anyway for fuel economy reasons. Anybody see why 550...

    Horn Solenoid Question

    I have no working horn. I have already put a meter to everything and have power (22 to 24 volts) at connector 26 (according to wiring schematic on the -4 that is the hot wire). When checking resistance I have good ground. My question at this point is this... Is there a way to open up the...

    Window Question

    I have read the posts and looked at the TM's so I do see what it would take to replace the window regulator. My question at this point is before I go replacing parts is there anything that can be tightened on the regulator or anything that can be fixed for the window to keep my passenger side...

    Been troubleshooting turn signals and need some help.

    My turn signals won't flash. I have swapped relays and still nothing. The only change that has been made is LED headlights. Will LED headlights cause turn signal problems? The signals still light up when I activate the turn signal switch but won't flash. I have checked my connections.

    VIC-1 Mounting location in a soft top truck

    So now that (at least for now) my legal troubles with parking my truck at home are taken care of :naner::naner:, I'm going to start working on my additions to the truck. My M923A2 is a soft top. I have a complete VIC-1 I want to install. Obviously if it was a hard top it would make it easier...

    24V to 12V power converter

    I want to get a converter to step down to 12v DC for accessories. What is a good brand and size to look at? Obviously I would want something that can handle a decent load so if I add several items (lights, 12v power outlets, radio, possibly a CB, etc.) in the future it can handle all of it...

    M923A2 Aquisition

    So Friday 10/10/15 I took possession of a 1989 BMY M923A2 :naner:. I have to say going from a 1965 M52A2 to this is a HUGE upgrade in my opinion. I know there are some who will argue that it isn't a total upgrade since I lost the multifuel capability, but since I don't have a way to easily...

    Turn Signal Question

    Ok, I know there are quite a few threads on issues with turn signals especially after converting to LED's and I have read them and am still stuck and cant figure out where to go from here.

    VIC-1 Question

    So I'm looking at adding a VIC-1 system in my truck. What is a decent price for the main control and say 4 crew stations? Also is there any other piece of equipment needed? I still need to figure out what cables and how many I would need but I am taking this one step at a time. Any help is...

    M52 Markings

    I am just about done with all the mechanical work on my truck. I already have most of it painted as well. I want to have it marked as a USMC vehicle since I spent time in the Corps. Where can I find something that shows the correct stencil locations and lettering size for a M52A2 so I can...

    Brake Line M52A2

    Ok, so stupid me. I was installing my rear wiring harness and managed to break the hard brake line from the master cylinder to the back of the truck. I know it is a project but I am getting frustrated. Every time I fix one thing something else breaks. I have had the truck since October and...
