I maintain a nice 920 for a county, and I serviced the truck last summer, they don't drive it much, I went to start it and it would lope at about 450 RPM up to about 750 max no matter what the throttle position. I put on a new fuel filter, and ran a line from a bucket of fuel direct to the...

Drove the 923A1 around 3 or 4 times in the last 3 days, shut it down in front of the shop for a few minutes and it won't start. The battery switch didn't energize the gages for 3 or 4 tries, and finally did, hit the start switch, and it bumped the starter oh so lightly and dead. Batteries and...

Finally got my top on from popacom. Got a complete set of troop seats over the weekend, which had been holding me up. The paint on the truck doesn't quite match the camo on the top. 435 miles and 26.5 hours from a Ft. Riley KS OH

Can anyone give me a quick answer on what type hyd oil the winch takes? I have a 916 I need to kick out the door monday and it's low. Thanks.

SS doesn't have A CASSPIR page, so I thought I'd post up to the 5 ton guys. This is a 2004 MkII, Made in South Africa. It has a Mercedes OM352A 5.7L Turbo Diesel, and a 5-speed manual. It's the grand-dad of Mine-proof vehicles, and has pretty heavy armor. It will withstand a triple mine...

I have a Casspir MKII with the South African OM352A engine. It has a remote oil filter, canister type, and I can't find a filter for it. It's about 7.5 inches tall, the openings are about 2 1/4 on each end, and about 5 inches across. it had a number on it 7533-0022, that's a south african...

Today was the day for Albert/M35A2-AZ and his lovely wife to drop by and drop off my new 5-ton rear cargo cover kit from Popacom. Brand new in the box, excellent price. Turns out, I had to move 2 old C-130's so Albert and I set to work. Due to where we were moving them, there was no way I was...

I always thought of this as an airplane, not a MV, but I guess it is... I purchased this T-6 in 2006 and restored it. Took about 3000 man hours to complete. It still has all the original skins, and will just blind you in the sun. It's the only restoration I've ever done, just because of the...

I couldn't find this mentioned on any search. The Allison guy I talked to awhile back regarding a fluid change and filter on the M923A1 mentioned the Allison Polyester filter for 600 series Tranny's. it's a sort of service bulletin to change to this style in the Allison shop whenever they open...

Are there any tricks to getting the plastic cooling fan off a HMMWV? I see it has an external line to the clutch assy on the nose of the shaft. I can't see inside the radiator shroud enough get a good idea. Any tips would be appreciated.

Took the Van Truck out finally for a day of fooling around in the desert. The M1078 was delivered in 1998, and I rolled over 1400 miles while out in the desert. It had a bad knock under the cab, it was the intercooler piping hitting the tunnel, easy fix. everything works, even the CTIS. These...

I took delivery today of two slant back units for the local sheriff's dept to check out before they use them. They both have 600 some miles on the odometer, very nice shape, one an 87 model with V-belts, one an 09' model with the serpentine belt. Both are set up for the .50 and have nice ring...

Just got back from KS and spent some time with an ag operator that runs the same tranny as the 900 series trucks in big 3500 gallon spray rigs. He's running C4, and said he has 6400 hours of hard pulling on one of his 120 foot liquid sprayers without a hitch, just changes the fluid and filters...

My Buddy drove off in a 923, and didn't do a good check of the fluids. It got hot, discolored the paint pretty bad on the heads and down a couple inches on the top of the block. I got it started later, there's coolant in the engine oil, it makes quite a bit of white smoke, has a dead miss on...

I delved into the Allison manuals today and came up with some basic info for all Allison Automatic Tranny users. The earlier 1990's Allison manuals say that Dexron III is suitable for "On Highway" The suggestion is made for C-4 fluid for "Off Highway" C-4 #30 Weight is suggested for "Severe...

Got my New, and I mean New M923A1 Picked up my new M923A1 today. 22.5 hours on the Tach, and 404 miles. Came out of a rebuild in Ft Riley KS in 6-10, and I can hardly find anything on this truck that doesn't look brand new. the only nicks in the paint are from the front clevises being...

Hi gang. is there a way to tell the year of MFR from the ID number on an M-923A1? Also, is there anyone who knows what the different MWO codes are? I am going to look at a 923 tomorrow and wanted to be able to decipher some of that info. Thanks!

Need some help, Sheriff's office wants to trade M923 5 ton for some FM radios I donated for their airplane. I think the M923 was from DRMO to an LEA on a Demil code Q6 but they want to trade it to me for the radios. Any idea if this is doable? Do we need an EUC, or get an SF97 somewhere? The...
