    M915A2 highway speed

    I know you did not ask me, Adam, but, since I own an M916A1 and an M916A2 (the M916A1 is equivalent to his M915A2) I can say that I am sure the truck brought a smile to his face. They have power to spare...430 HP, 1400+ foot pounds of torque. Unfortunately, no A/C in the M915A2 and M916A1. My...

    Gave my M923A2 a fresh paint job...

    This was the truck from Aberdeen, right? Nice looking truck and great job on the paint! I actually thought the paint on the truck was fairly good, no? Any pics of it before the paint? Thanks!

    Any police issues with driving an unregistered 5 tonner from base?

    No one said they had to file a travel plan. If you are so sure you are in the clear, please PM your next travel route and I will definitely contact the law enforcement agency in your area. You won't do it because you want to skirt under the law. That is my point. If I am mistaken, please...

    Any police issues with driving an unregistered 5 tonner from base?

    Does trailering a truck prove ownership more than driving off the base? I hope someone else asked about that, because I did not. I never questioned ownership. As far as I can tell, this has never been about proving ownership. Does paying taxes prove that a truck is more or less safe? Maybe...

    Any police issues with driving an unregistered 5 tonner from base?

    GE, I specifically said that I would NOT do that. The point, which escaped you, was to consider what would happen if the cops knew your route. Go back and read my post.

    Any police issues with driving an unregistered 5 tonner from base?

    Nice response. Perhaps, you just shut down what I said. Or, not. People need to make sure that THEIR insurance carriers intend to cover their vehicles when they drive them home. Sure, I have assumed the same thing, and it has been confirmed, when I drove a new vehicle off a lot. However...

    Any police issues with driving an unregistered 5 tonner from base?

    Do you feel confident about that? In other words, would you be willing to send me your designated path so I could alert the state police in your area to watch for you? I would never do that. But, the point is made. There is no way you would chance your beliefs about driving a truck home on...

    Any police issues with driving an unregistered 5 tonner from base?

    There is only one answer. Get tags and insurance. Find a state that will let you drive home without tags and insurance and let us know where that is. It does not exist. Could you have an understanding LEO with the paper trail that Kenny mentioned above...sure. However, there is no...

    What is required to bypass M923a2 CTIS

    It is a PITA to change tires on an A2. You have to remove all of the CTIS stuff and then remount it.

    M820 Sparta, WI to Baltimore, MD

    PM sent. I had an M934 hauled out of there a while back. The cost to ship the truck was $2300 on an RGN.

    What is required to bypass M923a2 CTIS

    As someone above said, it is probably a wheel seal. You can check this by slopping soapy water all over the rim. Look for bubbles! With that said, I have never had a truck with working CTIS...at least that worked for very long. To bypass it, simply disconnect the wiring harness from the...

    How Far Can A M923 Run on Just 4 Batteries?

    I assume you plan on installing the belts, right? Why not just bring a good alternator?

    6/8/13 - Breakfast in Eldersburg, Maryland

    I have a suggestion. We need to move this event around the state. I am not suggesting this for me as I may or may not come. However, I have heard from several past attendees that they have stopped coming because the location is so far away. I think we should rotate it from Eldersburg to...

    M923 upgrade to M925 need advice

    Convert your truck to an M925 by adding a winch...find a blank dataplate (they are around)...and re-stamp it with your original VIN. The only real problem...that 99.9% of people won't notice...is your VIN will start with C523...instead of C525 for the w/w winch dropside cargo. MAKE SURE you...

    Parting out military trucks for fun and profit?

    Be VERY careful about trying to export unless you have an export license. I realize these trucks (the M939s...for some really strange reason) are not EUC items. Still, be careful.

    No turn signals on M927

    PM if you'd like. I will give you my cell number. I have owned a number of these trucks as far back as 2001. I have probably experienced most everything you can find on the M939 series trucks. They used to be my favorite until everyone and their brother got one. Not trying to sound...

    How do I know if my M927 was rebuilt

    It is scary what they consider rebuilt. The RRAD trucks have a sticker on the driver's door that says something like "WE REBUILD THE TRUCKS LIKE OUR LIVES DEPEND ON IT BECAUSE THEIRS DO." Not sure that is true is all I'm saying. I have yet to find a rebuilt truck without flaws. While that was...
