    Extreme RV from M36a2

    This is a build I have followed with much respect for you and your support group. I just wanted to say when it comes to your moister problem in the air lines I found if you let it cycle the first time drain it then repeat it one more time it seems to decrease the moister problem in the air...

    Looking at a M923A2

    Without putting your hands on it or any of the trucks it's a crap shoot. I know guys who even go to the trouble to preview the trucks and still get a lemon some times. So all in all it's just the luck of the draw.............

    SC meet and greet

    Well I have to chime in and say for my first SS rally I couldn't have ask to meet a finer group of people. It was both comforting and inspiring to meet such a great group of people with a common bond. Andy your truck shows me just how far I have to go and much can be accomplished when you are...

    My first M923A1!

    Congrats on the truck. Yes they are tubless and you could try to put slime in them but if the gasket they use in the middle of the rim is leaking then you will be wasting your money as it will never make it to it. If it will pump back up and hold the air until you get home you will still need to...

    M923A1 use as a commercial vehicle?

    This question is not new and the answers are always pro and con. In the long run you can buy parts new and used. I have a 923A1 but, so far as any commercial use for it no not in my book. The cost of the truck is fair for the most part if you shop around. Getting insurance is sometimes a pain...

    Exterior Latex/Acrylic House Paints

    Hank is there a chance that you may have missed some rust spots in your prep work ? I know we talked about prepping with the rust converter then priming and then using a Krylon paint to just coat the primer and seal it for good. The brown spots sound like rust starting to come through. I have...

    Hey guy I think I have a head gasket blow out... what do you think

    The way I have always found a blown head gasket was like the man said oil in the water or water in the oil. The way it is sprayed every where really looks like an oil leak more than the head gasket to me. I may be wrong but it wouldn't be the first time :) Just the first time today

    Fresh Southern CUCV Project

    I have to say it is a very professional job and the pride in the details shows. I have kept the paint info saved to my favorites for my next project. I just bought another product from SW in the resilience line which is a exterior acrylic latex that I really like. I don't intend to put a lot...

    Liquid Tire Balance (How To)

    The commercial tire shops around here will not touch the tire for under $38.00s a tire. You could put a gallon of slime in each tire for less than that. I like the fact of the antifreeze even better as a cost effective way. Also remember that weights will most likely be knocked off in the sand...

    Determing year of mfg on M923A1

    To my knowledge of these trucks there was a 3 year Mft run on the production of these trucks. Also even with the rebuild date it didn't change the year to when it was rebuilt. The year it was made it will always be the same. I have an A1 and it is a 1985 with two rebuild tags on it yours will...

    Liquid Tire Balance (How To)

    Thanks for the video that is the kind of help from people like you that I joined this site for. There are volumes of info out there that you won't find in any TM. Now as far as the 177,s they are small enough to fit on almost commercial balancing system but, they can be balanced the same way the...

    One tire wearing more than all the others and have shaking above 50MPH M923A2

    In this case I would really just either do a tear down and inspect every thing until you find the problem or take it to a pro. This sounds like the tire is locking up and dragging. If it did would think you would surely be able to know because of the smoke or the squealing alone. Good luck and...
