Hello to all!
I've got a pinhole leak towards the side-rear of the fuel pump. I discovered it while doing the warm-up and walk around, and it put out maybe 2 cups of fuel in the 5 minutes it was idling.
I was running out of both time and daylight and neglected to get any pictures, but I...
Hello to all!
Long story short ... a handful of back-to-back lengthy out-of-town work assignments had my truck sitting for too long, and when I finally got around to givin' it a little love, I ended up with coolant in the oil. It was discovered during a "routine" fluids change, and the mechanic...
Hello to all;
I'm relocating from the Wet West to the Dry East :wink: but my truck is not currently drive-able that far; I've got liner holes or maybe some cracks that's putting coolant in the oil. I can drive it on/off a lowboy, but anything further than that is just asking for trouble. :(...
Hello to all!
I've had my 923A0 for about 3 years and it's behaved quite well.
About 2 weeks ago, the ABS check light stopped turning off after the brief illumination cycle ... but not every time.
I first noticed it after having parked overnight on a slight 4-degree downward hill. As I was...
I'm in mid-restoration and struggling mightily with the danged boom extension on my spare tire carrier. It is rusted tight in place.
Here's what I've tried so far:
Liberal application of PB Blaster, wait appropriate delay, attempt extension rotation from welded-on cross piece on front of...
Hello to all!
I sure hope this is a quick question! :grin:
I'm going to remove the cargo bed from my M923 to blast and paint it real real good! I'm hiring a small mobile crane truck to do the heavy lifting (literally! :-D) so I need to know what to tell the guy.

Hello to all!
I'm about a week away from getting my entire truck blasted. I found a company whose facility can handle an M923 ***and*** they do "slurry" blasting, which is a mixture of water and abrasive media, which is very helpful for keeping the dust down to a minimum (which I've been told...
Hello to all!
I've got a M923A0 in need of a goodly amount of TLC.
Before I embark on a multi-month scrape/prime/paint binge, I'm debating the merits of just taking it to a local blasting company and going down to the bare metal.
Problem #1: Finding a good blasting company!
While my first...
tl;dr ... something broke, I need seem guidance/advice.
M923A0, 24K miles and 29 hours on the clock (I presume since rebuild, but I don't know if it was a major or minor rebuild).
The weather is finally starting to cooperate where I can count on a few hours of dryness to do some work.
Bright...
I'm brand new to this hobby and I know I'm smart enough to know when I'm not smart enough ... if you know what I mean. ;-}
I won a M923 back in October, but pretty much just parked it once I got it home awaiting for the New Year so I could title it as a collector vehicle.
It's stored a few...
Hello to all!
Leave it to me to get a big truck right before the rainy season starts. (Honest! We do have Sun in the PNW!!! Just not in November. ;-))
I've read through a bunch of the threads so I kinda sorta have a feel for the various general options, but I'm looking for some specific...
Hello to all!
I won a M923 auction from Ft. Lewis. I did a post-purchase inspection and the lights are questionable (hopefully just operator error!) and the wipers do not activate.
Better safe than sorry, I'm planning on having it towed some place for a short time (1-2 weeks) until I can work...
Hello to all!
I've been dancing around for 4+ years waiting to take the plunge and yesterday I finally found my courage!
Now I'm just wondering what the heck I was thinking!!! :razz:
I won a GL auction for a M923. Joyce at Ft. Lewis was incredibly helpful, and gave me some good info about the...
