    Jump 5 ton( 4 batteries) to 5 ton(4 batteries)?

    Just want to make sure I'm not going to ruin anything, I tried starting one of my 5 tons, apparently the quick start system must have a leak somewhere, I can smell the ether but it didn't even twitch the NHC250. Now the batteries are pretty well drained. I can hook up my other 5 ton to it with...

    Odd M923A2 at a local car dealer, is this up armoured?

    Saw this at a local car dealer(you know the ones that want $12,500 for a M931A1). Took a quick peek in it at 3AM, nice and clean 15K on the odometer. Has a big escape hatch on the roof, I didn't look underneath. Is this an armored 923A2? It has a big tubes holding up the roof.

    Long drawn out honking from CTIS M923A2

    When I first start up my M923A2 the system builds air and honks normal when it reaches proper PSI. I then drive it, park and shut off the engine somewhere. Come back restart engine then the CTIS does a long drawn out sick cow honk, I hit the hwy button to stop it, it's kinda embarrassing. It...

    Gunner hatch cover bracket?

    I could have sworn there was a metal bracket holding up the vinyl cover when I bid on this truck, but alas there is no bracket. This cover makes a lot of nose inflating and deflating driving down the road. Is there a mil standard for holding this vinyl cover upright? Or do I need to keep using a...

    Is there a preferred side/designated side for the 939 series? I'm thinking right side for cable convenience? I notice on the deuce it will have to be left side but that's down the road, right now need to start drilling holes on the 923A2.

    Won another 5 ton this week. What is on the front seat?

    I'm out of control, is there a cure for this madness? Is that some kind of strap wrench on the front seat and what is it worth? I have a feeling it's not going to be there when I retrieve the vehicle. M923's sure are going cheap IMO, guess everyone wants A2's? I got this one for $2150

    Bought a couple antennas, sugar scoops and fender mounts. Is there any other methods besides fender mounting that is standard for 5 tons or deuces? Where do the antenna's get tied down at for movement on 5 tons and deuces?

    M923A2 overspeed light issue

    My A2 overspeed light on the dash flashes pretty much any time I go over 55mph even when the highway selector has fully aired up the tires and is a steady red on the highway mode panel of the CTIS selector. Anyone else have that issue or a clue to why it may be flashing? I understand it's there...

    My recently acquired M923A2 has one tire that is wearing much more than the others(middle axle drivers side), the spare looks like it was dragging( I'm guessing instead of fixing the problem they just changed the tire). My question is what do you guys think it could be? Only thing I can come up...

    Need a favor from a M923A2 owner with a micrometer.

    I need the telescoping arm of the spare tire carrier boom mic'd, just the outside diameter. Mine didn't come with it, I bought the arm from a M931 and it's slightly too big of a diameter to fit in the boom on my M923A2...I would've thought they would all be the same, silly me.. I'm going to...
