    MT654CR trans replacement for M923

    many many threads on here about the fluid. My m923 came with dexron already straight out of Ft. Polk. No issues and shifts great. If you are running 1000's of miles or heavy towing, weight carrying , working her like a rented mule; consensus is to use the motor oil. Whatever you do, key is to...

    Need help ID M1151 interior rack.

    hard to tell with the dirt but look at the indentation in the middle of the bottom 2 screws and clean out to see if it is hollow or look directly under the bed where screwed down and see if you have a black plastic nipple. Hose could be long gone. Also has a slant to it. Water can...

    Replacing Differential Gear Oil

    I used GL5 80w90 gear oil in my m923 and it is better in my mind than the original lube. GL5 is pretty much the standard now a days in the civy world. Synthetic is not worth the hype or cost in this application IMHO. Ymmv

    Fuel can holders are normally on the floor and have a drain hose through the body. They are different than the water ones. Both abs plastic not the ole school universal metal ones.

    a rather weird question..the case of the missing 16mm socket

    I like to use one of those automotive expanding stick magnets with a knuckle joint. I think mine is a kd or lisle tool. Probe the general area and good luck fishing...

    M1097A2 trans control module

    In Mobile, I previewed 100 1097's of all flavors from Red River earlier in the year. There was one truck that had dozens of these controlers in the boxes in the back of the bed. All the trucks had stuff thrown in them but when they come up for auction are "cleaned" up. I am sure all these gizmos...

    Power hookup for accesories

    Plugs into the slave outlet. Has a 24v inverter built in with overcharging/heating Circuit protection. Simple solution to run low amp usb devices. It is a veteran owned company and no more wires or drawing from rear battery inbalance seemed to me worth the price. Cheaper solutions out there...

    Tire Load Ranges...

    Typically the higher the weight rating the stiffer and possibly more plys of cord on the tire making it ride harder. Use d and you will be fine. If you mix, put d upfront and e on back. I run 30-35 on d bfg bajas and very happy with ride.

    PulseTech accsessories?

    They use circuit breakers that can be reset. Simple work around is to replace the breaker with a plain ole automotive fuse. The connectors I think are from the marine world. The 12/24 box with leads was specifically designed and made for the HMMWV. The circuit board in it also is used to...

    M1123 brakes

    Take master cyl cap off to make sure you can retract the piston fully by trying c clamp again with system open. The caliper moves back and forth on the pins. Use brake silicone grease to make sure caliper can slide easily.

    M1123 brakes

    I would not use red on caliper bolts as you might have a rough time if you need to go in there again. Maybe blue or yellow ... But I don't use any on caliper bolts. Civy caliper bolts don't need them. Civy calipers don't fall off.... Ymmv
