    M923 - Reverse Shifting

    Ah yes. But you can tell ~me, can't you? :beer:

    5 ton bedliner

    In this case you will probably want to use what Steve and I are going to... We have bought the product but haven't installed it. Same stuff that goes on aircraft carrier landing decks. Will do some hunting and find the web address for you. We bought it from Sherwin Williams but it is not their...

    Papabear said "I'm getting worried about you"

    Looks like a nice little pickup truck. All it needs is some pretty green paint and all is well. :beer:

    How to deal with this rust on fender

    That Millermatic 200 is a great machine. I wore out several of those. If the drive rolls are spinning on a wire welder, replace the rolls and the liner too. The liner gets filled up with gunk and won't let the wire through. Don't forget to keep a fresh tip in there too. They wear out pretty...

    5 ton bedliner

    Yes. Yes it does. You could call it Duraliner if that isn't taken.

    stuck drain plug on transfercase

    Exactly what he ^^ said. You can just grind down a larger tool to fit. Smack the plug a sharp blow with a hammer before you start, to get it's attention, and spin it right out.

    Thought my Deuce was almost ready to go....

    That is a pretty cool looking truck in your avatar. Whereabouts in Springtucky are you? I get through there once a month or so, and friends who live there have reported sightings of your fine motor vehicle.

    GL asked help for client

    Good on ya Papabear! That was a very kind thing to do. I made the mistake of buying a running but clapped out Honda quad a year ago for $1000. Big mistake. I would have spent way more to get it right than a good one would have cost. I sold it to a farmer that just needed it to get through one...

    818 now with turbo and pics.

    It appears not, but I am about to. In the parts collecting process at this point.

    What neighbors have to say about my new M1009

    3 out of 20 or so neighbors didn't like my trucks. The closest one moved, and the guy who bought her house likes to come over when I am outside working on them and regale me with his tales of driving a deuce tanker when he was a volunteer firefighter. Great guy and a huge improvement. 1 down...

    wsucougarx's M923 acquisition

    You're the only guy I know with SIX sugar scoop antenna mounts :beer: And they are all a pretty green color now.

    M923 Gear Ratios

    Your top speed is about right. Mine runs 59 MPH at 2150 RPM. You still need a hard top?

    Installing a Grover Emergency Stuttertone Air Horn on an m923

    I'm keeping the original air horns for now. Will see how much room there is after I stuff the turbo in there. Still have some plumbing to do before I can test it.

    NHC 250 needs more power

    On any turboed engines I operate I try to keep the EGTs to around 1100 deg f.

    wsucougarx's M923 acquisition

    Thanks. Any pictures of it with the antennae mounted and tied down in the manner you described?

    Behr Paint. Time between coats?

    That makes sense to me as it seems like the Rusty Metal Primer uses a heavier thinner/solvent that takes some time to finish out gassing. Would you say that after a week of curing the Rusty Metal Primer needs to be scuffed again to give the water based top coating enough tooth to adhere?

    wsucougarx's M923 acquisition

    Was great meeting you and your son, Mike! Those Don Pedros breakfast burritos are addictive. Glad to see the Door Opener has a new and appreciative home. So on the fender antenna mount, how are you going to tie the antenna down when under way? Seems like the mirror would get in the way of that...

    How to Add a Winch

    If you need a pump, I saw a new takeoff at the used truck parts place yesterday. It was all pretty and had fresh green paint on it, and looked just like the pump on the m925s.

    Installing a Grover Emergency Stuttertone Air Horn on an m923

    You're correct. I know the difference but was real tired when I wrote this up. Will edit, thanks. That's coming. Have one more bracket to fab and some plumbing to do. That's a great idea. I was wondering about that. We don't have that many flying bugs where I live but I can certainly see how...

    Hose Reel Inside M923 Toolbox

    I am thinking the same as you. I think a standard residential deadbolt can be fitted to the truck doors very easy, and keyed alike to your house door. Also your toolbox padlocks can be replaced with locks from McMaster-Carr that can also be keyed to your house key. I haven't figured out how to...
