    Does anyone know what application the M925 heater core came from? I assume it has a civilian application

    1985 M923A1 Over Heating

    I first noticed it in the early spring. I took the truck on a 50 mile trip in 50 degree weather. Seemed to run hot considering the weather. About 200-210. The truck was full so I figured maybe it was normal. About a month ago I took some friends for a ride around a country block. At the end of...

    Red River Refurb over heating...

    So I noticed the truck running warm a month ago. (ie 220) But I had it full of stuff and didn't think much about it. Then after using the truck to pull out a tractor I drove it around a country block and noticed it was almost to 240! I made an assumption that it had a bad thermostat. It seems to...

    Where to put a locker?

    If you had to pick which axle to put a locker in which pig would get it? Or would you put one in all three? I've got stuck three times now and need to make an upgrade somewhere.

    Got the 925 out tonight heard something I did not like.

    After sitting all winter I decided I take it out and go around the block. Compared to the 923, the 925 has what sounds like a bad bearing noise in the drive line while under power. It is a Red River Refurb with 50 hours on it. Hope its not the transfer case. Any one have an idea how to isolate...

    Which Machine Gun did the 939 series carry?

    Will be pimping out the 925 with tinted windows and a machine gun ring but wondering what model did they carry typically? If money was no object I would go for the M2 BMG 50 cal. But was curious if some of the ex military folks here knew which model was the standard gun for the 900 series trucks.

    I think there is something wrong with my 923A1 fuel pump....

    I was combing through the TM's when I found the touble shooting catergory that says surging idle. Which is what I have. All it says is that if the it can not be adjusted with a cable adjustment to contact DS maintenance. I was in the middle of adjusting the kick down cable when I disconected the...

    M923A1 no start.

    Ever since I have had this truck it has had a bit of an erratic idle. It got better after a long trip so I figured it was just dirty injectors.Unlike the other 5 tons upon start up, the idle would always go up by its selffor a couple of seconds and then come back down. The other odd thing. When...

    Kickdown adjustment.

    I've been paging through the TM's and don't see anything on the kickdown cable adjustment. Is it listed under something else? Is the adjustment in that little box just above the trans pan on the left side of the vehicle? My 923 up shifts way to quick and doesn't down shift going up hill.

    Data plate location

    Besides the dash mounted data plate, is there another place on the cab or frame to find the year of manufacture?

    Is there a NAPA pinion seal....

    Has anyone found a NAPA seal that will work for the pinion seal? I'm going to need 12 of them at some point. And of those who replaced them was it successful or did it still leak?

    Funny they were working last night. I noticed the headlight switch does work hard, does anyone know if those are common to fail?

    Trucks out of Indianapolis......

    I have seen a lot of trucks have badges that show they been refurbished at some point. The 923 i got out of Sparta was refurbished by Red River. The weird thing I have noticed about the trucks out of Indianapolis is many of them look refurbished with like new paint but it is not noted like...

    M923A1 fuel pump to far advanced.

    Has anyone here had issues with what sounds like spark knock under acceleration with there NHC250? This moter only has 57 hours on it and maybe still needs to wear in but under acceleration I can hear what sounds like a faint metalic banging.

    M923A1 shifter stuck in reverse.

    Well, before I go out in the cold to repair. I thought I would see if anyone else has had this happen. I was parking my truck and when I went to shift out of reverse, the selector would not move. My hunch is that the cable release is simply not moving far enough to allow it to come out. Anyone...

    Anyone have any videos of 900 series trucks mudding?

    Youtube has surprising little videos of M923's and M925's going through deep mud. Does anyone here have any good videos?
