The army is dumping all 900 series trucks.

I have a 1985 M923A1 with VIN C52309965 and the new truck is a M925A1 C52503012.

Besides the dash mounted data plate, is there another place on the cab or frame to find the year of manufacture?

Alright then. Once I get the seals from Eriks I will attempt to find it from a auto parts store and report back.

Eriks has them for 15.00 NAPA could not cross the number. I like Eriks, I'll just get them for him. His prices are the best I've seen.

Hey, that's a good idea.

Sweet, how much were they each if I may ask?

If no one had a NAPA number I was going to buy one and look into it. My guess is many of these trucks have grooves on the output shaft. Of the twelve possible seals leaking I need to replace 6 of them. One is really bad and the truck only has 500 miles on since it's pmp.

Has anyone found a NAPA seal that will work for the pinion seal? I'm going to need 12 of them at some point. And of those who replaced them was it successful or did it still leak?

That took some time but found the problem. This truck had a brand new dash harness put in at some point. When they pluged the power wire into one of the dash lights they missed the female hole on the back of the light and jammed the power wire between it and the outer grounded rim. When I turned...

Funny they were working last night. I noticed the headlight switch does work hard, does anyone know if those are common to fail?

My A1 has a tag from Red River. It is a 1985 but the engine was new in 2010. The A0 is a 1983 with a 1983 engine. Unless they dropped in a rebuit engine and left the old tag Id say it is original.

That's what it looks like. The nice thing is they left a giant file full of all the maintenance records. Even at 31,oo miles the engine oil was very clean.

Wel I just got back from Indy, 14 hours of driving and I wiped out. As for the hour meter versus the engine data plate, well, I was not so lucky. The engine is dated the same year as the truck so its original. Besides a giant hole in the muffler filling the cab with exhaust the whole time the...

Hmmm, you may have something there.

I was just hoping that there was some protocol like say if they replaced the engine they would reset the hour meter or put a new trans in it amd reset the odometer. I hope shes a good one too. Thanks for the post.

I have seen a lot of trucks have badges that show they been refurbished at some point. The 923 i got out of Sparta was refurbished by Red River. The weird thing I have noticed about the trucks out of Indianapolis is many of them look refurbished with like new paint but it is not noted like...

How you like to be sitting in the back of that thing?

Honestly, would be better contacting CM systems. You will pay 400 ish for them to rebuild yours and it will come with a warranty. If you buy a used one you will pay almost as much with no warranty.

Does it power up?
