    Air system question

    Picked up a M923A2 a few months back and I have noticed that as I have ran it to build air pressure it makes a loud honking sound , sounds like a pissed off goose, from underneath the truck. Sounds like it comes from the air dryer area . Only does it a few times during a half hour idle....so...

    Fuel Tanks A2 type

    Has anyone replaced their old 1985-90 fuel tank with one of the newer ones? My understanding is they will not fit due to the old style brake arrangement. Just wondering if there is chance they might work. SEMPER FI !! keith

    No Primary Fuel Filter

    My most recent purchase of a M923A2 has no primary fuel filter. It has a little inline filter before the primer button and the final filter on the engine block. It's a Air Force truck from Tinker AFB. Just wondering if this was a common mod for the air dales ? SEMPER FI !! Keith

    M923A2 Transmission Question

    I picked up a nice M923A2 from RedStone this week but have found it seems to have a slight transmission issue. After a few minutes of operation the truck is VERY slow to come off the line in 1-5 but once it starts moving it seems to gather speed fairly quickly and shifts normal. On the drive...

    M35A2C vs M923

    I have a deuce is good shape and just picked up a 5 tn (m923). I'm thinking about selling off my deuce but i'm not sure the M923 with it's automatic can come close the pulling power that turbo multi-fuel has. I've pulled some large logs around my property and wonder if the 5 ton could handle...

    How long have you had your HUMVEE

    Just a general question for some of you humvee owners...i bought mine in 2002 with 12k miles on it. Only put 6k on it since i've had it. It was in awesome condition for a barstow truck. So far just basic repairs to keep it rolling....nothing major for a 1987 truck. SEMPER FI ...

    Lower Radiator hose

    My lower hose sprung a decent leak last week while running @ idle in the yard. It was swelled up fairly large from age so i can assume it had been on there for a LONG time. I ordered the parts (new hose / radaitor cap from S&S) and checked the forum for those folks who had taken this project...

    M1009 electrical problem

    I have a stock (unmodified) M1009. Truck has been flawless until the amp gauge stopped working. Vehicle will cycle thru glow plug warm up as normal and the alt lights go on and off as normal. So i figured bad gauge and put it on the list of things to do. Went out to start the truck a week...
