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...
I have been helping a friend of mine do a frame off restoration on a 1952 M37. I know the trucks well as I have three that I've done the same to. Well it seems my friend left it outside of his garage this past month to make room for something eles and the unusally cold sub freezing temps we had...
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.

I've seen alot of tire/rim combo's coming out from the g'ment....none going as cheap as i would like to see, makes me wonder what the customer base for this item is. Any thoughts ??

Ok...so the A2 was getting very tough to start where the days before it fired right up. Traced it to the fuel solenoid that was going (gone) bad and i pulled the bad part off to replace it. With the solenoid off it starts up perfect like before and i can stop it with the kill cable ( just...
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 ?

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...

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...
Hey guys i just won a m923 from Huntsville last week. Truck looked really good on the pics/video....running vehicle with troop seats and duels. Only 260 miles since last rebuild and the markings looked like it came from an MP battalion. Someone wanted it as bad as i did and made me pay so @...
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.

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...
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...
My son who is on his third tour in Iraq sent me a few pics last week. I thought i'd share one. He gets to play with all the FUN stuff.

I have a 1973 M561 gamma goat for sale. Truck was used at the Space and Rocket center (NASA) in Huntsville, AL. It still has the "Property Of" stickers on it. Truck was Rebuilt by the Army prior to being released to NASA. It has 4300 miles on it since rebuild.
Runs and stops great. This is a...
