Thanks for the input, I hope I am doing the right thing. I am going to pull the trigger on the 5 ton and give a try. I hope all the pros out-weigh the cons. If so the A3 will have to find a new home. Sad.:-(

I have hear the same electrical problems and high cost to repair. You look at the short service of these vehicles compared to the M-series trucks and its much shorter. I may have to stay with my slow deuce and like it. thank you

I would like to run 55-60 so I don't start a car convoy behind me. My A3 with 395's 50mph max @ 2700-2800 rpm on GPS. The turns like an oil tanker is classic, I work with a guy that drove them in the service and said yes you need lots of area to turn around. That is a factor here in my...

Another question to you guys that have these trucks. What is the tallest point on the truck with stock 14.00 tires? The exhaust stack or the tire hoist? My shop door if 12' and my lowest point in the shop is 10'6". From what I have researched and found out I think I am ok.

Yes that is where I messed up your right.

I know what your saying about the semi part. There is a 923 here in Des Moines on display and have stopped to look at it several times. Yes it is much larger in size than my A3 all the way around. My deuce is handy and can get around about anywhere, just not at highway speeds. The 5 ton will...

Thanks guys for all the input you have all made good points. I like the wife options too. She is slowly seeing all the benefits to having the a3 truck we have now. Ha Ha not really. I tell her these are much cheaper than a new Corvette or Camaro mid-life crisis vehicle and slower too. But...

The visibility and turning radius has been a thought of mine. I can drive my deuce about anywhere including small parking lots. It's no longer than a 1 ton dually pickup. The nose on the 923 is square and I am sure it does create hard to see areas. Thanks for the input.

The slow top end speed and twisting the RPM at 2700-2800 to try and get close to hwy speed concerns me. Everything works on my truck even CTIS other than the W/S washer pump quit. Hard to part with it and sell it, have had a blast with it.

I have had that for years, good in that department. Thank you

I currently have a super nice M35a3 with 3800 miles and 575 hrs on it great paint and well maintained. Was a old Sparta truck when I got it the 1,942 miles on it. I have been looking to upgrade to a M923a2 only because of road speed reasons and bigger cab. I have done all I can do to my M35a3...
