    M923 Upgrade to the Single tires?

    If you are doing all this to get more speed out of the truck be aware that most of the super singles are only rated 55 MPH max. The Goodyear 11.00-20 G177 are rated 65 MPH max. All the 14.00-20 get you is lower RPMs at 55 MPH VS the 11.00-20s.

    Adding driver side fuel tank for duel tanks ?'s

    I would set it up using the tank selector valve like most of the tractors have. They sell it at boating stores. They also use a 3 way switch to go between the 2 tank sensors -so they share the same gauge.

    goldneagle's M923 recovery and modification thread

    I looked over the truck some more this afternoon. Looks like there is a oil leak below the balancer on the front of the engine. I did not see where specifically it is coming from. It might be where the large hydraulic hose attaches. I will look another time once i get the batteries fixed and...

    My Deuce is dead :(

    Sounds like clogged fuel filters to me. Had that happen on a trip to Hattiesburg to participate in a parade. Changed out the filters and all is ok.

    goldneagle's M923 recovery and modification thread

    Yes it is all settled now. If you call DMV special tags unit and ask for Tabatha, she is the one who did mine once we got the approval from the DMV lawyer. We pay a 1 time registration fee and we get lifetime tags for the 5 ton trucks. The M931 will probably cost you a few hundred dollars to...

    goldneagle's M923 recovery and modification thread

    I saw a bunch of those triangle plaques on the truck on the drivers side door panel. They say 2005. There is also a Red River Plate riveted on the dash by the passenger side. The date is missing. the date on the batteries is April 2010. So we know they last messed with the truck in 2010.

    Separating water from oil without a heat source?

    Didn't you hear, water and oil don't mix. If they sit without agitation they will separate on their own. Don't make it any more complicated then necessary. They guys gave you some very good advise.

    M35A2C vs M923

    2-1/2 ton VS 5 ton which is stronger? I think the numbers spear for themselves.
