M923A2 weight ?

[helomech]

I was at the DMV today trying to get a Class A or B license. The lady behind the counter said she and the police (If I get stopped) will go by the GVWR that is listed on the plate. I can't fine a plate on my truck. I know what the TM's say the weight is so please don't say go to the TM. Is there a plate on the truck, and if so where is it. She also said that I can not get my Class A license unless I have a trailer over 10K lbs to use for the test. So I guess I will just be getting my Class B.

Plate should be on the passenger dash. I have an m923a2 and I think it's 21000 or 22000.

Got off my lazy butt: 21550

Should be a data plate right on the passenger side dash. Has all the dimensions and weights for the truck. Clear as day if it present. Maybe it was removed.

Mine does not have one. It has the tag with all the fluids, and a bunch of stickers. The lady at DMV told me that if that plate says less than 26000 lbs I don't need anything other than my Class C license. Sounded like she would not even allow me to take the class B test in it if it does not weigh more than 26000 lbs.

 

[helomech]

Wonder where I can buy one? Going to have to start searching on line for one.

Weighs? or GVWR which is what it is rated to carry. 31.5K is the GVWR

 

[helomech]

It is missing. I see the spot is was now that yall gave me a idea where to look. It is just under the grab bar, there are 4 screws there, but no metal tag showing dimensions or weight.

The lady at DMV said she is going to go by the tag on the truck that lists the GVWR.

GVWR is Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, truck plus payload. 31550, you are in class B territory with a 5 ton.

 

[helomech]

Thanks guys. So it is 31500. Does anyone have any idea where I can buy one of these tags? I have been searching on line with no luck at all so far.

All you need to know is indeed in the TM(-10, basic operators manual).

You could have seen where your missing data tag goes, and what it says on it.

I just went thru the same exercise with my DMV. I don't need a Class B for the 5 ton Cargos, because they do not exceed 26001 lbs, but do need a Class B
for my M936 wrecker because of it 36000 lbs.
Good Luck

I still don't know how you find that stuff that fast. I can search for hours. I am used to manuals, I am a helicopter mechanic, but these electronic ones just kick my butt. Our electronic manuals for the aircraft are much easier to use. I want a paper copy bad.

Thanks, I am going to try to get my Class B. This lady seems to know what she is talking about, she gave me the book to study to take it. Just not sure what she is going to say when I have no tag to show her. I guess I will just print out a copy of the Tm posted above.

Control F? Let me see what that does.

It helped me find transfer case, but nothing came up when I typed in GVWR

Well ....the plate says it has a GVWR for the truck is 31550 also 15000 pounds for a trailer that's 46550 pounds soo if you where using this commercially you'd need a Class A ( In some states) any Dot cop if you get stopped would see that...


but if your not using this commercially just get a Non com class A . Like I have..... and also no need for a medical card

Talk to CSMDavis on the site here, he parts out a lot of these trucks and maybe he has a weight plate.

Thanks will try to send him a message.
