I'm about to install a bypass coolant filter on my 923A2. I will be using a Wix 24071 filter with 4 units of DCA. Can I use this filter with standard " Green " antifreeze or should I swap over to the " Red " Fleetguard?

Coffey1 and I are planning on recovering my just purchased 923A2 from SWBradley's place near Dayton this coming Friday, the 26th. We plan to leave Dayton in the afternoon and drive down I-75 with an overnight in Berea, KY. An early rise on Saturday to complete the trip home. Anyone along the way...

After installing winches on my 5 tons I quickly realized what a PIA it was to open the hoods now that the bumper is further out. After finding a few pieces of scrap metal at work, I fabricated me a helping hand. The extra leverage makes it easy enough to open with one hand now. Heck even the...

After talking with Coffey1, we decided to have a impromptu gathering at my house on July 5th. I'm located near Woodruff, SC just off of I26 and would welcome anyone that would want to come over. We can fire up the grill and talk truck stuff or even work on them if anyone feels the need. I know...

Anybody around the Columbus, Ohio area that can preview a 5 ton that may need towed off of the Defense Distribution Depot? Or is ayone available to tow a 5 ton off of the facility if I supply the towbar? I'm hoping to repair it and drive it back. Another option would be to store it at someones...

Anyone ever had a NHC 250 fuel control shaft leak that they fixed? Mine has a drip that causes me to lose prime after a few days and is causing slower starts. Runs fine after start up but is more annoying than anything. Is it a simple repair like an o-ring or more complex? Is it worth a tear...

After owning a Deuce for several years I really missed the glove box that it had when I got my first 923. The box behind the seat is nice but not quite as handy. So I started looking around for one that might fit in the 5 ton. I found one made for a boat with 2 cupholders on Ebay that would...

After reading 05blackduramax's thread on converting to an A1, I decided to post some pictures on how I accomplished mine. I installed an A2 spare tire carrier and boom assembly with minimum modifications. The first picture shows it before I cut and rewelded the grab handle. It has to be moved...

Anyone know offhand what size socket I need to pull the bearings on a 923 front axle inner seal change? I'm thinking I saw 3" somewhere but I can't be certain. Thanks.

I have been doing some research through the TM's and online about how the fan clutch actuator is supposed to work on the 923 but haven't been able to find a satisfactory answer to MY scenario. I have two 923's. On both trucks I can spin the fans without the trucks running and feel the clutches...

I won 2 trucks on 06/07 and paid with a cc. According to them my card is bad and it got declined twice Friday. After literally an hour of arguing with them that can't be the case, I called my cc company again. They told me both times no charges were attempted let alone declined. I frantically...

I want to install a generic keyed start-run switch in my 923. I want power off to the battery switch unless the keyed switch is on. Looking at TM 9-2320-272-24-4, would wire 81A going to the battery switch be my best choice? Or 81 coming from the starter solenoid? I have a constant duty 24 volt...

I'm considering bidding on a M923 which will be my first experience with GL. The ad doesn't state who made the truck and what year. I asked GL through email if they could tell me when the truck was built and by whom. Their reply was " Data plate does not indicate date of manufacture or...

Anyone have the civilian part number and store availability for the return spring on the shoes for a deuce? I opened up my rear axle for a cylinder change and found a few small pieces leftover where it had exploded. Hate to wait a week+ on mailorder. Thanks.

I just installed a new tan vinyl cargo cover and have 2 questions for those wiser than I. How do you secure the 3 steel-buckled straps over the rear bow when they appear to be three times too long? And what are the 4 square ports or windows ( 2 forward, 2 aft) that can be somewhat opened and...

I just started working on the 2nd of my two newly aquired dueces this past weekend and found out that it won't shift into reverse or first; like it's locked out. The stick comes over against the spring pressure but I can't get it to move forward or backwards into either gear. The others are...
