    Rust on my 923A2

    I just picked (last week) up my latest entry a M923A2. After driving it 1400 kms home I got to looking at some strange paint that turned out to be black silicone. I started poking it found out it was covering holes! The holes were indented like damage from shrapnel (hope I spelled that right)...

    Picked up my M931A1 today. My first MV!

    I had some fuel problems with my 931A1 when I got it. I found out MANY do also. It drove me silly till I changed all the lines and it still was not perfect. I added a 24v inline aux pump and no it runs right.

    Engine Never Seems To Get Warm

    What kind of anti frezze are you using? I agree with the others that you are going to need to block that radiator some. My 931A1 has the same problem but my 923A2 does not. I drove it over the austrian / Swiss alps last month and I was turning the hea off! Im not use to this but did like it....

    M923A1 Allison Hard downshift into 1st

    Im looking in the TM for this section. Its not so hard to do. I would first change the trans oil and filter. I know many people who did only this and were very happy with the results. When I get the TM page i will send it.

    M923A1 Allison Hard downshift into 1st

    If I had only one truck with a allison I would be confused but I have a M931A1 and it has never done any of these. I have heard what many on the site saying military 10w is military spec but 10w has no adatives for auto trans use. Plus Dex3 tried and tested. My M923A2 arrived with 10w and the...

    M923A2 fuel Gauge problem

    Thanks for the help. I tried touching the ground wire to the ground at the sending unit. It will move from under empty to the E mark. I removed the sending unit and see all the contacts seem to be touching and even tried the power wire direct but nothing. You think its the guage? Tomorrow I...

    M923A1 Allison Hard downshift into 1st

    Are you having the same hard shift issue? What oil are you using in the trans? You will see a big difference using Dex3 over the 10w military oil. Plus ck the adjustment on the cable that works with pump. This cable goes down to the trans and changes the shift points. I leave mine slack. I dont...

    M923A2 fuel Gauge problem

    My fuel guage has stopped working. I do see it move when I switch on but only to the "E" mark. I removed the sending unit atr the tank and the contacts are touching and it seems to work. Is there anything else I can check?
