I am fairly certain at this point you can register you gross weight less than a data plate. This would have to be the case as they have regulations that cover increasing between registered and allowable. Wont have an sf97 until next year though so I guess I’ll see then. Additional Gross...

Unfortunately the numbers I provided are off my data plate. 15500 GVWM. I think I recall years back people lowering by adding a new data plate for the 923a2’s.

Interesting. What changes did you have to make it pass inspection? I have an M1152A1B2FK5 with a gross vehicle weight of 15500 and curb of 9760. But that’s really not true. They stripped the armor. It may weight 6k now. Wondering if I can update that?

Being a marine unit did you get a title from Virginia or an SF97? Did either say “on road” before you went to Texas DMV? I hear the marines put “on road” on theirs. My sled is waiting on the EUC. Trying to get stuff ironed out while I wait. what physically did you have to do to the vehicle?

Tried Bed Liner? Why not just use regular wood with a coat of bed liner?

I would check the front tires. If they have cracks or wavy sidewalls I wouldn't take it over 55 if that. I pushed 65 a couple times just to see what it would do but the majority of the time I was running 50-55 with good but wavy tires. If they are cracked or badly wavy I wouldn't do over 45-50...

Yeah that is on the list! - but glad to have these for now

Pulled over to check on everything Made it home Just when I was starting to feel mine was the biggest!

So just picked mine up and its missing the Pressure Transducer that appears to tie into the fuel system near the fuel primer on the A2 (just above). Is this the same one you are talking about? If so, do you know it's purpose?

Ok a little slow getting back on here but here goes. Went up on Wednesday to inspect truck and grab batteries. - Worked out well. 6-7 hrs drive and 2 hrs actually there but did what I needed. Got out around 4:30am on Thursday and headed that way. One small unintended route change through waco...

Mission Success! Just got in with the much needed tool loans, and knowledge of davo727. Truck runs great and has almost all new serviceable parts. I'm dead tired after leaving at 4am and getting in now. Will give details and a couple pictures tomorrow!

Ok, so I drove up to see it today. - Not moving yet. - Tomorrow Looks like all filters read March 11. - So I know it was in for service last in 2011. Hood has June 11 on it. -This is the date it hit the lot where is still sits. (I asked) -It was a national guard truck and is at a national...

Really appreciate the answer! Looking into study material now.

Sounds great - thank you for the information! I will pay the invoice early tomorrow then call and get the temp tags

I was kinda expecting that. I'll go get the Class B on monday-tuesday

That sounds great! I'll take you up on that! I can set up for Thursday or Friday. - Let me know if either works for you!

Yes that is a good point. I intend to stay over night insuring everything is up and running and that I have time to charge the batteries. Aside from the middle tire condition being unknown everything appears to be covered and will be inspected before moving. I am used the having to air up 2-3...

idahosinker - you are the second one to say that. I will make sure I take them off and charge them first. Thanks!

You are definitely right, however, that would not be nearly as fun! All tires on driver side are inflated and appear new tread. - Assuming usual cracks. Spare looks unused. Mid passenger tire is flat. hoping it will air up. - If not, I will tow. I should be able to swap the spare for the...

Thank you for the info on the air chuck. - I will pick one up. The batteries will be fun. I will figure out something for charging them so I don't hurt the alternator. - Really appreciate that notice.
