I picked up two group 65's from Costco for $110 each and they crank my M923 just fine. Costco batts are Interstates and have a 3 year no questions asked replacement warranty. Unless you plan to go deep in the boondocks or move to the frigid north (ie- anything above Waco in my opinion), two...

I'm slowly building my pile of tools and items to super single out my M923 with 16.00r20's. I have all the tires and wheels but still need the shoulder lug nuts for the front HEMTT wheels, new o-rings and air stems for regular combat wheels for the rear axles. I tried to breakdown a couple...

Charlesmann- You could to mount the upper elbow on the up-pipe like a muffler delete in a tempary fashion just to see what the sound is like. But I'm also sure your A2 will sound much different than my old school M923. Wes- If you say there is no alternative, there is NO alternative. Thanks

Aaahhh- that's explains why I didn't find much on my search as I was using 'muffler gasket' versus 'exhaust gasket'. Thanks for the link! Memphis only shows one gasket for bottom side that connects with the flex hose. Is there also one on top? And since I have two trucks who need...

I'm replacing my muffler on the M923 with NHC250 (I think same muffler regardless of engine?). It's the typical rusted out around the bottom and a safety hazard. Anyone know a civilian part number for the gaskets? Or a way to use some other sealer besides the OEM gasket?

Singling out my M923 to 1600r20's. I have two HEMMT wheels for the front and the two piece combat wheels for the rears. Latest 'right' answer I saw was to buy the shouldered lugs (pic attached) on the fronts for the HEMMT wheels and then re-use the original front lug nuts for the rear combat...

btw- what is the hydraulic set up for a M929? I heard the hydraulics for a M925 (or any other M939's with winch) is too low pressure to operate the hoist on the M929 so curious about the system. And really curious then how the M930 (dump w/winch) is set up on the hydraulics. I know the...

I think part of problem is the M929 is on the short frame wheelbase (same as M931) and there's not enough room to have a decent size bed and room for a spare. If the extra foot of M923 wheelbase was incorporated, the load would shift forward

Help me understand a bit more of the extra length statement. Are you referring to the length of the frame that extends past the rear axle? I know the wheelbase for a M929 or M931 is the short version at 13' 11" and the wheel base for the M923/M925 is a foot longer at 14' 11" but I'm guessing...

I agree that drop sides are a good feature to keep. Luckily, my M923 with troop bed and drop sides is in pretty good shape. My M925...well, it's not so much in good shape. It was used as Volunteer Fire Department water truck and i think either they used some type of fire retardent or had a...

Ahh- your truck has ABS and ASB. Anti -lock Brake System and Anti-Squash Bar I like it

I'm referring to the added steel I circled in red in this pic. I'm assuming the item circled in green is a guide for the bed to sit square but I don't know what's circled in red.

That's a really nice setup and your shop does quality work. I see the box guides sticking up from the frame but did you also beef up the frame? I can't make out what was added to the frame in the lower right part of the pick...just to the right of the box guide.

Very cool. I'll probably do my own mainly because I don't know of a shop around me that could do the conversion to my spec. But doing it myself also means it might be a while... tobyS: I can get easily get take-off 14ft and 16ft dump beds so agree I have to be careful. Not a bad thing when...

Nice truck. Is that an electrically driven pump or did you tap off the transmission PTO or engine fan belts? PSI of system? What size reservoir needed for that multistage cylinder? I know, lots of questions, but that is pretty much the exact setup I'd want.

I hear ya, Fasttruck, and agree with your concerns as there are idiots out there that don't comprehend limitations of their equipment. Worse yet, are the clueless ones in the average size car or small SUV who will speed up and zip in front of a fully loaded truck plodding safely along in the...

Thanks, Wes, for pointing it out it the TM. It was so obvious, I forgot it was there and just remembered folks discussing it. Looks like adding a commercial bed to a M939 series can add significant capacity over a M929/M930 and in a safe manner which matters a lot to me.

I saw the tables that show the weight per yard of various materials but it doesn't help me understand the true limitations of the M929. I agree with Wes's point of adding a commercial dump bed to a M939 series is a great solution. I have a M925 project truck that would make a great project...

Is the yardage limited by the dimensions of the bed or by the hoist? The truck itself should hold a lot more weight wise than just 5-6 yards when not on rough terrain.

I’m assuming quarry mode is named because of the raw unscreened rock and dirt fresh from the ground? And the purpose of quarry mode means a mixture of large and small things or sticky things like snow can flow over the over instead of jamming up trying to go below the top hinge?
