Update: went and helped 2 farmers move approx. 90 round bales on 8/5. before hauling hay, I adjusted the modulator up 2 turns shorter. I think I am now out of adjustment on the injection pump end of the cable. so that is 4 turns total that I have shortened the cable. my 1-2 upshift is now...
very nice truck. looks great, wish mine had a cargo cover and troop seats. check all the axle oil levels, grease everything, clean the air filter if you something to do haha.
I also recommend installing a master keyed disconnect switch. it provides theft prevention, as well as keeping the...
Jason O, I'm sorry but which paragraph?
BTW, my wife and I really like your bikini top in the mod section. when we were shopping for m923's we drove an older tan one that was missing the whole top. she really liked it. ever since we got ours home she's been wanting to take the soft top off...
I understand what you are saying about the torque converter and the lockup. when engaged, the torque converter becomes a clutch so to speak, with a 1:1 drive ratio with no slippage.
I think for the most part the lockup is working correctly in 5th gear. when offroading at slow speeds the...
Jason 0, I agree with what you said about encouraging an upshift by lifting on the throttle ever so slightly. my truck does just that from a stop on a slight downhill grade.
162tcat, I think I have read that before on here about going to Allison only for repairs and tune up. wish I could a...
I have read the TM, 9-2320-272-10, pages 2-105 and 2-106.
from what the book says, it sounds like I have been making the right decisions by limiting the upshifts by manually shifting down one or two gears on hilly steep county roads.
no extra shift in 4th gear with a 200 rpm drop. I do not...
hello everyone, I would like to start a thread specifically about how the mt654cr trans acts while upshifting/downshifting.
my truck is a 1990 am general m923a1. I have owned it about a month, and have driven it approx. 600 miles. seems to be a very solid truck mechanically and...
also while performing these mods to your transfer case, now is the appropriate time to adjust and check your transfer case shift linkage travel. mine wasn't fully engaging high range on the shift barrel. this task is completed when removing the big flat washer on the end of the transfer case...
just finished installing a 1/8" ball valve on my interlock piston. my installation is identical to hoefler's, and it works great.
I have a theory on shifting these trucks and it goes like this:
1) place truck in neutral, stop rolling, and shut off the engine.
2) leave parking brake...
I have used the hill trick in years past with bumper pull trailers and such. also considered winching them on or building a crane but I don't want to alter the truck that much, im still in love with it haha.
helomech's pictures in this thread are exactly what I am considering trying. I...
Hello everyone, just read helomech's thread on going off roading, and wanted to ask what would be the best way to load atv's and dirt bikes into my m923.
I have considered buying a military trailer and loading into the trailer first(because of the lower height) then "bridging" the trailer to...
got our truck tagged/insured 7/16/14. insurance from shelter is $258 per year for 100/300/100. discounted to $218 for multiple car. took about 20 minutes with no drama. went to the tag office, got a personal use tag for $22 per year. no medical card, CDL , or DOT number needed woohoo...
thank you so much 155mm. I appreciate the advice. was hoping I could do just that, and not have to have a cdl driver as a requirement. Is USAA a regular insurance company, or do you have be a veteran to get insurance with them?
didn't mean to start another insurance thread, just saw some...
hello army nurse, would like to visit with you if possible about your type of tag on your truck and insurance. I am located in southern Oklahoma and just purchased a M932a1 truck. wishing to farm tag it or otherwise avoid having to obtain a cdl to drive the truck. I have my cdl but am wanting...
