well if I could replace the turn signal switch I would if it was my rig. I cant really justify it to my boss if I replace it when it still works and all we have here is a bunch of used ones so really no point, till it breaks. Thats kinda how it works, if they dont care about it then if it aint...

LOL, yep thats where Im at and was just about to ask. So the lock plate compressor, thats what its for. So how do you slide the ring up the shaft, its in like a groove?

K I should have everything to pull it, and I found a spare lock cylinder with the steering wheel puller so I dont have to pull one off a deadlined truck. Thanks

Is there any reason why the key lock tumbler thing(correct name please) wont turn to start the truck? I cant even get a key in it with out some force. I have no idea what happened, they are all suppose to have the same key. Maybe the tumbler thing broke, I have to get that thing at least to free...

That was a good read! So how do you guys like driving your deuce?

Thanks for the info guys. GL or from a private seller doesnt bother me, LOL just being in the middle of the ocean doesnt help trying to find one. I dont want and cant afford one right now. But they are so **** cool! I gotta try get my boss to let me go take the M923 for a test drive around the...

So I just did a small resto on a M923. Ive been driving it between the shop and paint booth and parking lot. I'm hooked and think it would be really fun to have one of my own. Heres Hawaii Volcano's National Park's 5ton( couldnt photobucket so heres the build thread) BentFrame 4X4 - Work...

I wouldnt be surprised if something is broken inside them. But its all good now, and now I know how to break into it. LOL I wouldnt have to pull the window back theres about a 1/2" gap between the window and the top. So how much a deuce cost? It would be sweet to have one!

We have a hard top, safety issue if we have a soft top. I just slid open the rear window very carefully and used a long axe handle in the truck to move the handle back. I guess I thought the door handle was floppy inside and all the way forward was the way it was supposed to be. You learn...

Well I figured out how it locks........inside door handle pushed all the way forward. Now anyone know how to break into a 5ton with out busting windows?

Ok just kinda did a rust repair and paint on a M923 5ton we have at the park. I was hopping in and out of that thing for weeks, I come back to work today and the door handles wont move. How did I get locked out of a military truck? I thought they didnt have locks. Anyone know how I can get back...

LOL they are probably original 1985. I had the thing apart to swap out the hydroboost, so I put it back together real quick and double checked(with the swapped master). Yep firms up when truck is off, and can go to the floor when truck is on. I dont see how I could have two bad masters. The...

I swear I checked that but I cant remember now(to many things on my mind). Im not at work anymore so cant check. I swapped out a master from a deadlined truck, and it does the same thing............how can I have 2 bad masters.

So heres the problem, brake pedal goes to the floor, but there is still resistance and still brakes. No leaks, but every now and then a puddle is formed under the leaf spring. Havent tracked that one yet. Any thoughts before I raid the whole booster/master assembly from a deadlined truck and...

I fixed it some how.... Jumped the side the power was coming from to the side that wasnt getting power(ignition switch side) and now the light comes on when I turn the key. Then I changed the connection at the alt, the big red wire with a new better one and it works fine now. Kinda figured out...
