AND I did drag two other M939's towbarred together approx. 2 miles, before finding a decent LZ. So much for the Cummins NHC250 being slow weak or underpowered compared to the turbo 8.3l.
I will take that as a compliment. Truck was advertised as a non runner, and we soon found out that was not the case. Came with a full tank of diesel, clean oil in every compartment, and carried me home 343 miles with no issues other than running hot due to an internally plugged radiator...
I think $8,500 is a good price for truck that is mint condition and turn key. Fuzzy sells a lot of trucks......
I jumped into this hobby around may 2014 when there were no trucks being allowed out of government auctions and prices were sky high. I paid $11,900 for a clean Maine 1985 M923A1...
With prices being what they are, it wouldn't be a bad idea to take a look at a SS member's ride. I just purchased a truck thru 98G and it was listed as a non runner, and is a very straight, complete M923A0. I spent $350 on batteries, $160 on fuel to drive it home, and $169 on lug nuts. Pulled...
I just finished mounting and airing up 6 16.00 r20's on M923, all mounted on HEMTT rims. They have the metal elbows, which a few of them leaked. I thought about tightening them up, but removed them for the sake of simplicity.

I purchased a $30 Lincoln needle and that didn't work either.
1. Trailer not parked LEVEL and properly secured.
2. Wrong end of trailer to drive off of.
3. Uneducated or inexperienced operator or truck driver, unable to cope with the situation at hand and placed in a hard position by someone else.
Nothing funny about this situation, someone died in...
Check the governor filter for trash. And there is a filter inside the trans pan also, much like a car.
Governor filter is on the back of the trans, below the output shaft, behind a pipe plug. it is a small metal mesh filter.
I have found some parts for my M923a1 in Groveport, Ohio and am considering bidding on them around 8/11/15. Items would be around 1100 lbs. and occupy the space of one pallet. Wanted to see if anyone could pick up and store for me or possibly palletize and ship for me. Willing to pay for time...
Get a CDL.
Buy more insurance than the minimum requirement for personal use.
Learn about the braking system and learn to do a pre-trip walkaround before driving each time.
