When a particular GL site says "Vehicle drained", does that mean they drained the differentials, transfer case, transmission, engine, power steering? Surly not the batteries!!

Can you believe this:

I’m trying to decide what to do with my M109A3 deuce and my M923A1 5 ton and I’d like to hear from anyone who might have something to add. BACKGROUND I bought the M109A3 with the intentions of fixing up the box as my off-road camper to be used primarily in the Rocky Mountains. HOWEVER, it seems...

I just finished (almost) driving the M923A1 823 miles from Dublin, to Denver, CO. For the last two days it showed symptoms of trouble in low gear. It would buck and jump until it got into second. Because of logistic issues, we left it 16 mi. from the storage yard and came back 2 days later...

With the oil on the dipstick a little below the HIGH mark, when I start the engine the oil pressure starts out at 90 and stays there until I start driving. It begins dropping until after an hour it is right at the edge of the '0'. I put 2 quarts in so that it is 1/8" over full and it stabilizes...

The short story: It has sat for 13 months after a trip from Georgia to Texas. Batteries were dead. I disconnected them and connected them up into a 12v parallel string and put a regular car charger on them. I charged them for 14 hr., but it was like they were half dead and won't turn the engine...

I'm going to be roading an M923A1 from TX to CO, but first I have to deal with a blown tire on a duel. So that I know what tools to take, what are the lug nut sizes, front and back? I'm probably going to help the Chinese with their economy by shopping at Harbor Freight.

I will be driving an M923 from Ft. Worth TX to Denver CO between Christmas and New Years. GL places within striking range are Hooks, TX, FT. Worth, TX, Ft. Sill, OK, OK City, OK, Norman, OK and Ft. Riley, KS. Let me know if hou would like help with a pickup and delivery.

During the week of Thanksgiving, Nov 24 - Dec 1, I will be traveling and will have room in an M923 5 ton truck and an M101 3/4 ton trailer. I will consider reasonable off-route trips and I will only charge what it costs me extra, BUT I will have a chase car. That means gasoline at 20 MPG and...

Does anybody have a recommendation for hearing protection when driving a truck? While driving my M923A1 from Georgia to Texas I started out using my shooting muffs, the $50 variety. I found that when I was traveling below about 35 MPH they were great, BUT when I got above 40 there was a low...

I would like to gauge the interest in a Rocky Mountain Rally, let’s call it the Great RMR. My vision would be of a multi-part rally starting in Utah or Western Colorado for Westerners and Eastern Colorado for Easterners. The RMR would culminate in a large campout somewhere in the high country...

The US started out with the original Jeep in 1941 and part of its requirements was that it had to be small and transportable in a C47 Dakota. Since then requirements have changed and it got bigger in the ‘50s. Then it got much bigger with the HMMWV. Didn’t we lose something? It seem it’s a...

Some great videos for M9XX series owners: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gW7mdL9Bhs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQ99iSmVZ5E http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3HoBqAToqM and one you should enjoy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MfTH6YN2Eo The last one reminds me of driving through a...

Can anyone tell me if these wheels fit an M923A1? The bolt diameter sort-of looks right and the center hole looks kinda big.

I am considering converting the tires on my M923 from 11.00 R20s to 395/85 R20s with wheels to match. I have done a brief search about how to do it and didn't find an answer (If my search wasn't good enough, go ahead and yell at me). I assume that I need to make the back singles. My question...

I'm confused. A few weeks ago an SS member sent me the link for TM 55-2320-272-14-1 which I copied into my own folder of TMs. BUT I wanted to send a reference to it to a friend, rather than trying to email the HUGE file. I cannot find that TM in the list of TM. What am I missing? Arlyn

I'm starting this thread early so that I can have a URL to send to friends before I leave; will edit. On Nov 19, 2012 I have a date with destiny, GL pickup at Ft. Benning GA., a "Vehicle does not start" M923. My wife and I are leaving this evening. We will spend Sat. night in Memphis TN and...

I just won the bid on an M923 and will be roading it, either Thanksgiving or Christmas, depending on the EUC to Denver, CO. I can haul or tow and I can pick my route. PM me.

Can anyone tell me if there is trouble titling a deuce if “Data Plate Has Been Removed”? There are a bunch like that on GL right now. Arlyn
