Things I've done over the past month.
Painted the winch and got rid of the terrible red.
Painted all the axles with black rust inhibitor.
Painted the hood (turned out bad so no picture hahaha)
I attempted to adjust the doors by moving the hinges, however this turned out to be a nightmare. All...
I seem to have developed a high idle after driving the truck for a extended period of time (30+ minutes). It will idle at about 1k to 1.5k and I have to put it in gear and let it down with the clutch to keep it down. Any ideas at what to look at?
Thanks for all the helpful advice! I'll be sure to keep the rolling back in the wrong gear in mind.
I didnt get too much done on the truck this week, due to the rain I didn't get to do the winch brake tests. Anyhow I changed all three differential fluids, transfer case, and transmission fluids...

So after initially driving to Indiana to look at a M923A2 and figuring out the guy pretty much led me on about the condition of the original truck I wanted, I found a M813A1 in Iowa. I drove her home the 350 miles and she did great! Different model than I wanted but the winch was super enticing...
