    Any easy way to get pins out of door hinges ???

    Oil a little heat if necessary and try to turn them a little bit with a vise grip or something like that then just use a punch from the bottom and drive the pins out the top. KK

    Looking for Advice

    Welcome Erich! So your looking and considering a 923, First I see that you live in Orange County CA, I am not sure how the folks in Orange County think about LARGE Military trucks? (I could care a less) but possibly something for you to consider? Concerning the 939 series truck (923 is within...

    Might buy a Deuce. opinions please.

    Even though a Deuce is capable of towing more than 10K, its all about STOPPING, and you could very likely have your hands very full trying to make that happen under the best of circumstance this sure sounds like a job for a 5 ton and probably a 939 series truck, they are a lot more modern than...

    To change, or not to change? That is the question (fluids/filters)

    If there is any doubt about the quality of the lubricants or filters in your truck you need to change it, oil is pretty cheap along with filters especially when you look at what COULD happen, That is not so cheap! And this way you KNOW what you have in the truck and it gets rid of all doubt! KK

    Newbie here

    welcome Caboose you will enjoy this site immensely! Looking for a Deuce, I am guessing an A2? I do not know what your budget is but for around 5K you should be able to find a pretty nice one, the things to look for are going to be how does it run and start, what is the rust/corrosion situation...

    Turning up governed RPM
