any brand and number on the gaskets from the truck supply? We are trying to figure out why my friends 923A1 system isn't working. Got a new bottle, but don't think he replaced the gasket. I have a 923 and have to work on my dash switch, as it goes in, but does not want to come out. Tried the...

You do beautiful work with all the electrical stuff. I am glad there is someone out there that knows what to do with those pieces. You are saving a unique piece of the Military vehicle history.

Stacks aside, be thankful. In WA you would have gotten a ticket or maybe a first warning for not having mud flaps that extend down to the middle of the rear axle housing. part of the safety feature, so you don't kick up rocks to the person following.

Hope you all get to go. It is always fun, but be sure to get on room reservations if you need them. My best bet may be to head over later, when the festivities have died down. But it is great to see all the vehicles that are brought out for this event.

Tobi, my situation is in doubt. Where we thought we were staying, outside of Carentan, has been booked up, without us getting a room. There still seem to be some rooms available here and there so am working on that . We were looking at going to Brussels for a couple days, then head to...

Looks like a great set up. Hope your heater is on in the garage.

Anyone planning on going for the 72nd? The 1SG thinks he wants to go this year so am starting to look at options. Our Belgian friends are tentatively planning on going from 3 - 6 June. If you are going, maybe we could meet up and chat somewhere over there. This may be a slightly less hectic...

We ended up with 4 trucks. MB, M715, M923 and M923A1. The weather broke and was dry during the parade. It is still amazing to see the crowd that turns out for this event. Saw a couple of others from our group that came out as tourists. Plan on it for next year. Around the second Saturday...

Mike, if you need to go that way, there is a place in Chehalis, Industrial specialties, 360-748-0247. They make hoses and tubing and can make just about anything you need. I had them make the air line off the compressor in the M54, just a bit over 6 feet long, stainless braid with kevlar...

Getting that spring suspension figured out, really improved the trucks enjoyability, once that darn squeaking was gone. The only other thing that I have to watch is to make sure that I cover the exhaust stack when not in use. It rains quite a bit here and it is somewhat comical to see peoples...

had a similar problem on the M54 with the spring suspension of the exhaust. It squeaked to distraction when driving. I found a stiffer spring (think it may have been a bit longer too), also put a couple nylon or teflon flat washers in between the spring and bracket, and put it back together...

looks like the same pin to hold the hood stay on the 5 ton.

Drat. It rained during light up, but during the parade it cleared up and was nice right up till the end.

I think the next major event is Armed Forces Day at JBLM. We will be doing a Desert Storm display there. Keep an eye on the upcoming events thread. I try to post most of the things we are doing.

Went well except for the downpour during light up time. The jeep was a 43 MB. It is a brother and sister team and they are both retired. They had that thing lit up 2 weeks before the parade. Keep an eye on us, you are certainly welcome to join in, however possible. We are trying to get...

Parade is a go. Bring your truck or come out and watch. If you have any questions about this one, please give me a call. 360 870 0706 Peter I am going to have breakfast with the Vietnam PBR guys in the morning and then maybe work on their projects for a couple of hours, then home to light up...

Anyone have a recommendation on how to modify your M923 under the bed tool box to keep it dry inside? I have looked through multiple threads and can't find a similar question. The top hinge looks like an issue and there are four drain holes in the bottom, and of course the bolts going through...

we are having some minor flooding issues right now, but as far as I know the parade is still a go for Saturday. Think we have about 6 vehicles lined up so far. I am pumping water, but the water is going down, so should be good to go on Saturday.

Scott, take a look at the upcoming events section, but date is 12 Dec. Parade is at 1800. Or be at my house about 1400 for truck decoration and we will have some hamburgers before we go line up. Wolfen, I am not that familiar with OR, but if you don't mind working outside, you might take a...

Wolfen, what type of work are you looking for? On the CDL, if you go to Worksource or whatever Oregon's equivalent is, sometime they have some funding available to help with Certificate training such as CDL. I am on the construction side and this time of the year is not the best for that. SR...
