    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    If it's a multi it's an M52A2, it looks to have been a W/W truck hints the bumper extensions and extra lever in the cab. Since it has an IFTA sticker on the door it has been "bubba-gumped" to meet some regulations or some sort some where some how. The obvious one is the air brakes but who knows...

    1991 m923a2

    Make sure you have good batteries and the electronic lockout button (on the tip of the t-case lever) cable isn't damaged or else it will not shift. Also try rolling forward gently and try shifting then as some times the gears just need to align properly.

    M915A1 Detroit Lockers?

    The locker is not what one would typically think but an inter-axle differential lock. My M915A1 is a 2006 rebuild with the same stickers and I can confirm there are no lockers in the axles, just what is said below;

    Heating a S280

    An M109A2 box arctic diesel heater would do the trick. :whistle:

    M923a1 muffler question

    I've had the same issues on many of my trucks and a flap will solve the issue after a replacement is installed. Good used ones are about $75 and new are $150 ballpark so not too bad.

    Any Texas rallys?

    There's usually a monthly San Antonio but since Airbornbandsman got deployed things have slowed down. There's the annual rally here in B/CS as well as the Louisiana rally. A few smaller museum and club based activities in DFW that I hear about too late lol.

    questions about m923a1

    Ditto to what 98G said. I am a big deuce guy but the single circuit brakes on the M35s concern me too much to enjoy the ride sometimes (call it what you will) and they are all getting old. The M939s are an easier, faster, more capable truck to operate than a deuce and it won't leave your arms...

    questions about m923a1

    If you're really lazy just leave it in Reverse and no one will drive off with it, heck, even you'll forget and break out the TM to find why it isn't starting. rofl

    1990 M921A2 Tractor, lights and ignition start problem

    Could be a bad 3 way switch, blinker box, and/or turn switch. I'd start in that order.

    Will Combat Wheels work on the older M915 Trucks like the M917 and M920

    The m939 combat rims will fit the m900 series trucks. I know the largest tire you will want to run is the 395/85r20 on the M915, the others can run 16x20s but you will need to run hemtt rims on the front and do some machine work to get everything to fit just right. There will still be some...

    1990 M921A2 Tractor, lights and ignition start problem

    Sounds like a bad PCB (black box) for the starting issue. I've had 2 bad boxes that click but don't power anything up, broke them down and one was vibrated to death and the other was corroded. Try a manual bypass with two jumper wires on the PCB plug (cant find thread for the how-to). If it...

    Ft. Hood Recovery Caution

    You are correct 98G, most of my trucks from Riley have been damaged in that way and GP has just applied their deductible to the damages to zero out any reparations. Glad you got a good "non-runner" there haha!

    M923a1 Fort Riley pick up

    I've bought a lot of trucks from there and so has 98G. The guys are friendly but you need to schedule everything through GP's main office. There was a recent management change at Riley so YMMV. Best plan for a few bad tires, dead batteries, and a little bit of murphy but otherwise I bet you'll...

    LST-178A-85 Lube Unit Slave Plug

    Has anyone added a slave port to their lube unit? I know the modification wont be hard but I'd like to see if anyone has done it before and where they put it.
