You are Very observant :) Yes, the truck is rolling on a fresh set of 16's from War-Time-Finds (WTF). My comment about the 10 lug nuts and 10 rim nuts being a "Long Day" was specifically about spending 3 weekends doing the tire changes on 6 rims. Best upgrade done to the truck so far. Yes, new...

I forgot to mention, although implied, my truck is running well in large part due to the support I've received by many of You!

My M923A2 on the Internet: Earlier this year I was invited to participate in some local Jeep events. Randy from NotARubicon Productions compiled a couple of videos to document. First is a YouTube "walk-around" interview, the second is an Amazon Prime production in conjunction with IN4LO, Season...

Yes, I did steal the idea from the Moon landing :). Yesterday I had to turn the TV off before I threw a 5ton component at it - some group of fools challenging if we ever landed on the moon.. REALLY! I lived it! Honestly people! Millennials - "If I didn't see it or experience it personally, it...

Pulled the transducer, substituted a plug - viola - no leaks, truck runs just fine. Thank You Simp5782. Yes, you are the Dude, Man!. -v

Grew my own. 1" 16g square tubing. screws every 12". 3'x5' flags. I figured at parade speed (walking) the flags were not going to display properly. So, I fabricated the display poles & outriggers. Thanks for noticing! -v

Really? Nice! That will be the simplest thing I've fixed on the truck so far! I thought it might be associated with the engine cut-off if fuel feed pressure drops too low. Thanks for the link to a replacement unit. That supplier didn't show in any of my searches. Greatly Appreciate the quick...

During the 4th of July parade fuel started leaking out the top of the Fuel Pressure Transducer which is located atop the line primer on the LHS of the engine block (Cummins 8.3L). Cant find a replacement unit. Original was made my Kulite but they no longer list the part # 19207-12258932-4. The...

Participated in the City of Corona (CA) 4th of July parade.

"Beer!" the Pilgrims used it to cross the Atlantic. OK, maybe not the most useful reply... Rebuilt the top of the air compressor & unloader on my M923A2. Some great threads on SS helped significantly. For me the key was to torque down the unloader AFTER torquing down the head. Otherwise the head...

Thanks Wes, yep, just watched your youtube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WBoKYq5V2U) on how to solo hook up tow bar. -v

I've been exploring some trails in SoCal recently (Cleghorn 2N47 & 3N22, and Berdoo Canyon to Geology Tour Rd) with my M923A2. The concern of mechanical failure is always in the back of my mind. Are there any highway registered M936 wreckers in SoCal that are willing to help out stranded 5tons...

Oh Man, Just saw this thread - Looking forward to pictures being posted. Question: Does anyone bring an M936 wrecker in case a rig breaks down? -KM6OZT

Fixed ShutterStat from pressurizing my cooling system...Again!... 1 year ago bought a new shutterstat which solved my pressurized cooling system issues (actually, i tried "repairing" the original before reading the posts on SS and subsequently rendered it inoperable - hence the replacement unit)...

12v Winch Connection Finished the spare tire winch install by adding an external 12V quick connect. Thought I'd cover two goals by installing a system which could be used for jump starting civilian vehicles as well as being use for running the 12v spare tire winch. Used an Energizer heavy duty...

This past weekend I finally finished building a winch assembly to lift the spare tire into its designated location. My truck is running the oversized 16.00xR20's which really limit headroom with the boom. So, I fabricated a bracket to adapt a Champion 2000lb ATV winch to the boom roller. Here's...

Swapped 6 New XZL 1600xR20's from War Time Find's for the 26 year old tires previously on the truck. Ok, so it took a couple weekends and several late nights to pull this off. Jeff at WTF provided excellent customer support - even answering text over the weekend; Super nice person - Highly...

Started on replacing the CTIS hub seals. After pulling off the drum I decided to make a "hub dolly" to facilitate smooth (non-back breaking) removal. Hopefully it will provide a trouble free installation too. Will find out next weekend :) Also, removing the coil-snap ring was a pain in the ...

Wheel Dolly - aka- Soldier B Fabricated a wheel dolly today. Getting ready to replace the air seals in the hubs and needed soldier B to help move the tires around (as well as all kinds of other tools - but thats a different thread....) After a trip to Industrial Metal Supply I came up with this...
