    Goldneagle's M109 (MDMORGAN CUSTOM) trailer recovery 2-16-2013

    Started the road trip at 7:00AM in Slidell, LA. Destination Greenville, AL at 12:00PM. Truck ran great the whole way. No signs of over heating and the gauge reads properly. Average speed was 56MPH. Got there 15 minutes early. While waiting for the Morgans to arrive we checked the oil...

    goldneagle's M923 recovery and modification thread

    Good news today. I took the truck out for a quick spin (about 10 miles) and everything seems to work great. Engine temperature stayed around 180 or less according to the gauge. I also checked under the truck and no oil leaking. I loaded up the winch and a small gang box on the cargo bed...

    goldneagle's M923 recovery and modification thread

    Had an oil leak from the new oil filter adapter I just installed last week. Saw it the following morning, but could not look into it due to rain every day since. Finally had a chance to work on it Thursday. I put an oil pan under the truck to catch the oil from the filter. Unscrewed the...

    military antenna sugestions

    I may be wrong but I read somewhere in here that the frequency range of the military antennas is not compatible with the CB radio. I am installing a 102" CB antenna on my truck. It will look a lot like the long military ones but the frequency is correct for the CB set.

    Garage door size

    I recommend a 12' by 12' door. That way you can drive any MV inside.

    M923A1 shifter stuck in reverse.

    Cable can't be broken if the shifter won't move... Sounds like a binding issue.

    goldneagle's M923 recovery and modification thread

    It was kinda wet out today so I couldn't do a lot on the truck. I was curious what kind of tool cases i could put inside the new tool box. Storing bottles of fluid in there would be a waste of cubic feet of space. I tried some containers I already had in stock. Noting I had fit without a lot...

    Want to put A/C in a M925A1... anyone got pictures of their install?

    The fan clutch THERMAL/pneumatic switch is air activated, not electrical in nature. That is why I described inserting T's into the air lines.

    Thank you for the compliment. Would love to make some extra cash on some of the mods. If you want to bring the truck down we might be able to do some work.

    Want to put A/C in a M925A1... anyone got pictures of their install?

    You can steal the air from the fan clutch thermal valve (switch). Tap a T before the thermal switch and another T after it. Put your 24 volt solenoid between the T's. You will basically have 2 switch to feed the same fan clutch.

    Want to put A/C in a M925A1... anyone got pictures of their install?

    Well I have 2 solutions to the fan clutch issue. 1- Use the bolts provided to lock the fan on all the time. 2- Install an inline T into the air hose feeding the fan clutch and attach a separate air feed to activate it. You can control the new air feed with a switch on the dash or some type of...

    Hacked wiring M1008

    I would clean or replace the rusty terminals and nuts in the 3rd picture. Rust is not a good conductor of electricity.

    Sounds like you thought it through. That's good. Keep up the good work.

    Want to put A/C in a M925A1... anyone got pictures of their install?

    May i suggest that you may want to mount the condenser to a fixed part of the truck instead of the moving hood. Same location, but to the radiator support. I am worried about all the flexing that thee hoses will have to do each time you open the hood. Its only an observation since I have...
