    Florida to Missouri, M923 pickup

    I figured that, Phil, but keep me in mind if you need anything.

    Florida to Missouri, M923 pickup

    Phil, I assume you won't be coming through MD, but, if you do, please know that I am here to help (or if you need a place to stay, a hot meal or shower).

    M101/105 steel bows and corners

    I concur with CARNAC. Used, but complete metals bows run about $20-25 in my estimation based upon what I've paid and sold them for. Brand new, I'd have to think they are worth AT LEAST that.

    8V92s all over GL

    I would like to add that there almost always are reasons why a motor gets pulled. Very infrequently are good motors swapped out for no reason. They almost always have problems like low oil pressure, or other signs of wear. I did hear that they swapped out a lot of perfectly good stuff (e.g...

    Straight stacked my M923

    While the Michelin XLs LOOK to be directional tires, Michelin asserts that they are non-directional. I usually like to mount my tires all in the "correct" direction. However, I was told by a guy in the military that they often do this purposely so your average enemy soldier won't have any idea...

    936 has a new home

    He did not tell me. I expect he paid about $2-2.50/mile. This is what I have paid recently.

    936 has a new home

    The truck was shipped. I know this because he told me. Sheldon, sweet looking truck.

    Looking at 923's

    Using reverse in low range can grenade the transfer case. There is a warning about this on the data plate in front of the steering wheel. I have even had trucks with cards hanging near the steering wheel warning the operator about this.

    MK48 for my MK17

    I just deleted my post since it quoted the post in question. Thanks CLINTO!

    How many people get incorrect titles?

    Do you rely on the VIN # listed in the auction info? I never apply for a title until I have the truck in front of me and I can personally verify the titling information. I have not had any title mistakes, but I'd complain if THEY made a mistake and they tried to charge me to fix their error...

    Straight stacked my M923

    Yeah, but did the owner's manual or, as in this case, a sticker or data plate indicate that this would happen with your Autocar? If it did, that might be evidence that it was designed this way. Why? I have no idea. It could be for the reasons you mention. Or, it could be for some other reason...

    Bought an M931...now what?

    It is not just that it is slow going in low range reverse. It actually means that you might damage your transfer case if you use low range reverse. I have even heard of transfer cases cracking! The data plate with the max and min speeds (directly in front of the steering wheel) actually says...

    Straight stacked my M923

    I took a look at a sticker on the door of my recently rebuilt M927A1 and it reads: Air cleaner restriction gauge At 1600 engine RPM, red indicator must rise at least to green line. When red indicator is latched to top at any speed, filter service is required. I have owned many M939 series...

    817 dump truck question

    Make sure the hydraulic fluid is topped off, too. Still, it is probably a linkage issue as others have stated.

    Why M939A0 and M939A1?

    I have never heard that the Army made any attempt to upgrade M939A0 series trucks to A1. If they would have done this to the M939 series trucks, they would have done it with the M809 series trucks in inventory, too. The USMC did, but I don't believe the Army did. A particular unit may have...

    M939 series Radios

    I have an NOS M939 radio mount kit, but I have not even pulled it out to look at it so I don't know how it mounts. Come to think of it, I don't actually have it in my possession, as a fellow SteelSoldier brought it from Aberdeen last year and still has it. If I EVER get over to pick it up...

    M936A2 rear winch control valve

    I am not sure if the valves are the same, but they probably are. Even if they are not, I am sure you could adapt the valve from the earlier M936 since the controls for the M936, M936A1 and M936A2 are all located in the same location.

    mutt tires

    I paid $125/tire for new tires about a year ago. I got them from Army Jeep Parts in PA.

    I think CUCVFAN has them. Check with him.
