    what is this?

    I just bought one for my truck off line and you just need to check the pressure setting if it is not labeled and sealed with a lock wire. When I got mine it was screwed down all the way for a pressure setting that would have been too high. Just hook up air from a compressor with a regulator that...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Hey Swamp Donkey, lots of nice work there. With that panel having a bilge pump switch and lights it must be from something amphibious, possibly a tank. No drainage on those beasts!

    Charging the batteries......

    I would also charge them individually with a fleet type battery charger. Just disconnect them and start with one and move to the next when it is sufficiently charged. Take a photo of the current set up as you will forget how they were originally wired, don't ask how I know! The 12 volt hook up...

    I have the itch for the five ton

    Hey Tankmaster, welcome to the site from Cape Cod, MA. Good luck with your truck search. They are a blast to drive and not too bad to work on, just heavy. Remember these truck are 25-30+ years old and will need regular repair and maintenance. Just be ready for it with a lot of studying the...

    M923 to M923A1 Spare Tire Carrier Swap

    By the way using the original tire davit is a little tough too as it is a little short when adding the chain fall length. I may try to figure out a way to modify the davit to make it a little easier. Maybe increasing the height of the top section. Maybe your A2 davit top section will fit on the...

    M923 to M923A1 Spare Tire Carrier Swap

    Hey sandcobra, I have put the spare, 14x20, in the original tire rack made to hold the 11x20. I added some 2x4 wood to the bottom of the rack to raise the tire and added spacers to the diagonal braces to fit the tire in. I also removed the tire stop to allow the tire to move more toward the...

    2016 Weare New Hampshire Rally

    Looking forward to the rally. Hope to bring my M923 with my M105A2. Can I leave the truck parked in the display area over Friday night as I have family nearby that I'll be staying at?

    "91 m923A2 won't start after sitting overnight....

    Hey Shorty, my truck had the same issues and replaced filter and rubber fuel lines. Didn't really change anything. I decided to pull the pickup tube from the tank and touched the tube at the fitting and it just about fell out of the fitting. Resoldered the tube to the fitting and reinstalled and...
