    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Bonding with the community. Attended a "Touch a Truck" event, I was the only MV there, plenty of kids both big and small there enjoying the event. Local PD's and Fire were also in attendance, nice little event. Seams the kids liked the bed of my truck more than the cab. Overall a good time...

    Stereo Installed in M923A2

    Yes, she is my daily driver 90% of the time, if not in the truck I'm on my Harley. Just got back from a quick trip to check the sound while driving, stereo out put is much louder than the truck so that is good, selected radio station cut out a little probably due to antenna just laying above...

Built an overhead and relocated my dome light, installed "double din" radio and 2 6x9 speakers. Looks good to me, just need to install a 24v to 12v converter...

    M923A2 Door hinge adjustment

    I am using the same door, it fit fine before, there must be a way to align it so that it does not drag on door frame. I've tried loosening the screws on the hinges and lifting the door up in the rear then re tightening the screws but maybe I don't have the right order. Top first the bottom or ???

    Need help to "align" door. Yesterday I pulled the drivers side door to fix a broken hinge bolt that froze in the hinge. I had to take the hinge to a local welding shop for tooling to pull stuck bolt, all went well and I put everything back together and hung the door but now the bottom rear of...

    LED light upgrade

    When I upgraded all my ext lights to LED (turn, stop, side marker) I bought a new flasher but did not need it, so if it works you don't need a new flasher.

    m923 front axle issue

    Check the linkage under the truck just in front of the T-case, you will see a large washer on the linkage, there is a valve there that can have the air lines crossed, mine were crossed (my front axle did not disengage), attached a pic, check the lines.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    First milestone for me, crossed 5000 mile mark on my M923A2, so far so good, only minor issues so far, hoping for another 5000 "worry" free miles. Also today took part with local MV group in St Patricks day parade. Was a blast, plan on doing more. Good for community spirit, they loved the MV's.
