    M923 AM General 2004 - Buying question

    Hi aztron, The M923 is my truck and I'm confident in the vehicle's condition. I picked this one and a few "sister" trucks up from Kansas Overhaul Facility at Ft Riley, Kansas. They were still in the factory yard and one even I broke the paint seal when turning the door handle, talk about...

    Issues with SF-97

    Mine cleared late last week and I had a shipper get it to me yesterday. I figured 97 days was long enough, no sense waiting 2 weeks for getting it moved. I'll be avoiding EUC items until the wait time is <30 days or the system is changed to put a holding deposit on the item until it clears...

    M923 Prime Loss - Air Bubble

    I did this as well when I replaced the line, someone stripped out the 90 degree elbow so all that was replaced.

    M923 Prime Loss - Air Bubble

    I've got an atypical issue I've not had before and looking for input. I've got a m923 that keeps getting a small air bubble in the line near the lift pump when the truck is off. It doesn't drain down to the filter, it just forms a bubble enough to stall the engine from a start. I've swapped all...

    M35A3 Weight/GVWR for SF97

    Look in the TM or on the data plate, it's all there. If she's just for fun go the FMV route. $55/5 years + antique insurance. Cheap cheap. If you want a guide to register it as a FMV PM me and I can send my guide to you. NO CDL required due to no air brakes and and under 26K lbs.

    New Texan here. M447 mounted on a M923 ?

    Howdy neighbor! The m447c will be too long for the frame with lots of over hang, the M927/M928/M934/M935 all have the extra long frame which you would need. It's easier and cheaper to just buy a van from surplus than starting from scratch. If you're dedicated to the M923a2 then look for an M109...

    M270 Gets New Shoes!

    Here's my tail lights. Clearly they're the older style with 3 total cut outs, one for the blackout light on the right. The ones below are 12v added by the military as this thing was only recently surplussed. I'd have more photos posted but the SS site uploader is being problematic. I hope this...

    Urgent need of tow bar! My Deuce is broke near Seguin, Texas.

    I'm just NE of Flatonia, about 1.5 hours, in Bryan. I have a complete medium towbar setup you can borrow

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Picked up my M270A1 today and passed Tornadogt in route with his m915 after he got his dry van trailer. I took a stroll around the yard and saw some black vultures keeping a sharp eye on me as well as an omen for the many M920s there destined to be torched. Still kind of neat I think.

    M934A2 with 6CTA 8.3L Turbo Diesel will not run

    Make sure the fuel cutoff solenoid is fully retracting. Try zip tying it back or even removing it then give it a crank. If it's losing prime then try pressure bleeding the system and look for wet spots. More than half the A2s I've had in my hands had rotten rubber lines.

    2016 TX MV Rally

    I'm looking into it, it overlaps on a possible trip that has yet to be confirmed. This is of course assumes my freakin' EUC clears for the 8x8 before then. :driver:

    Made it home in M934, Ft Riley to Keller, TX!

    Did you try putting her into 6x6 to see if the vibration went away? If it does it's the front drive shaft..likely the slip yoke. Common issue.

    New 5 Ton for the new year

    Check the front drive shaft too. A few of my A2s have had slack and vibrates at 40+
