    Best 24 Volt Source on M1009

    Go to the passenger side of the firewall, remove the cover from the 24v distribution bar (the top one I believe with all of the heavy red wires attached to it) by unscrewing the two nuts and hook your wire to any of the big lugs. The one below it is ground. The top one is where the starter...

    M923A2 came home with me today!

    All the 900's I've seen have had the air-shift. Maybe it has something to do with them being slush-box trucks? I can't speak for the M54's or the 800's not having owned one. Thanks David. I'll try to get another vid of its maiden voyage ;) I'm sure your truck is no wall-flower! Mine will...

    M923A2 came home with me today!

    Right now it looks like I put in a switch to make the front wheels fall off ;) No, it's just the usual air-shift front axle switch. Mine had been chopped out. Anyone know where I can find a pressure switch for it? NSN 5930004539367 P/N 11609301 I cross-checked the M35A2 one and it's...

    Poll Spring or Box Seat

    Great idea on the drink holder Kenny. I need to make up a couple of those for the convoy! I like the spring, except on the really big bumps when it has been known to bang my head off of the soft top ;) The adjuster was frozen on my M35A2 and the shock was prolly worn out too. I am anxious to...

    M923A2 came home with me today!

    Here's a few more pics: The first two are of the PS ram assist project. The first is with the stone shield off. The second shows the ball stud that the ram attaches too. The stud is also the pin for the leaf spring. The guys who were robbing parts started pulling the pin out, then they...

    M923A2 came home with me today!

    Thanks for the congrats y'all! No "magic smoke" from the dash, Chad. You did just fine ;) It was a great feeling. The only thing better will be if me and my brother can get it rolling under its own power this coming weekend. We're close. I can smell it. The radiator and the hub are the...

    M923A2 came home with me today!

    Well, my radiator bracket, fan shroud and PS cooler didn't show yesterday. I'll have 'em next week though. I took my fully charged batts and some other parts for a work session today. After I got the batts in I cranked until I had fuel coming out of all the pump lines. I tightened down all...

    M800 series Automatic

    Well, I wouldn't say they were basket case trucks, but they were missing a few items and could not be driven off of the lot. My truck was missing a more parts than 75% of the trucks there. That's why I could afford it. There were 3 that were worse off than mine either in body damage or...

    Well boys, here she is.

    Looking good. Glad you got it on the road!

    M800 series Automatic

    My M923A2 came right through DRMO to GL to me. The SeeBees got new trucks and sidelined their 939A2's. Not sure why they didn't get picked over by FEPP folks first. Maybe because all of them had a few or in some cases many parts picked off of them while they were sidelined. They were all...

    Batterys

    Exide made the 6TMF's in my truck. If you think it's fun to get 2 over the fender of a CUCV, you should try lifting 4 over your head into a 900 series ;) It's a great back and shoulder work-out!

    Aberdeen 2007

    Re: RE: Aberdeen 2007 Oh man, I need to get busy on the 923! I don't care what it looks like so long as it is road-worthy! I can't wait to hoist the GP medium and commence to celebrating a successful convoy 8)

    M800 series Automatic

    You might try emailing or calling the folks at Roscommon Equipment Center: http://www.roscommonequipmentcenter.com/ They don't list that project on their website, but that doesn't mean they haven't tried it.

    M923A2 came home with me today!

    I had a couple of hours to work on the truck after work today. The first thing I did was to try and get it started on 2 batteries. I got rid of the 2 bad batteries and wired up the 2 good ones. I had juice at the top of the yellow mark. I flipped the starter switch and she was crankin! I...

    M923A2 came home with me today!

    Here's the pic of the batt switch from the wiring diagram. The 569 terminal gets 12v from the batt. box. 81A taps into 81 which goes from the control box to the starter solenoid and then branches to 81B which goes to the diagnostic plug. 369A goes through a circuit breaker and then to the...

    Reworking a vinal top

    Man you wet my appetite and then the photo album didn't work for me. Thanks Gimp! :P

    A nice surprise

    Fantastic! Their blundering mistake protected the plates from years of UV, rain, filth, etc... that could have seriously degraded them.

    M923A2 came home with me today!

    I finally tracked down the last of the important bits today. I found a take-off lower radiator mount, a fan shroud and a power steering cooler. That should be all I need, aside from some the occasional NAPA part, to get it on the road. Hopefully it'll arrive in the brown truck before the...
