    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I also moved my spare tire to behind the cab. It was tight as it is a 1984 M923. Had to move the intake piping and I will be widening the braces for the rack. It is just ratchet strapped in place now. I replaced the electric oil pressure sender with a mechanical gauge as I thought the oil...

    Show us your Military Trailers

    M923 with a M105A2 Here is my M923 pulling a M105A2. First time I hooked the two up together. All the lights worked but didn't hook up the air brakes. Used it to haul some fire wood. Towed great behind the truck. Only thing I had to adapt was to put on some 5/8" shackles so the tow hooks would...

    New guy from York, PA

    Welcome from Cape Cod, MA. Hope your hunt for the trailer turns out well. As others have said, thank you for your service. But be careful. Getting the trailer leads to having to have the right color truck to pull it:driver:
