I know I can search this, but please forgive the directpost. I still have some daylight so i'm asking for help immediately. Using my phone so not sure if phto will display. I'm in my M923 A1, the air dryer has constant air being released from the very bottom most part of the dryer. Any thing I...

Yesterday was the day that I finally attempted to fix that slow tire leak on my M923A1 (14.00 x 20 tires). I'll admit, I decided to go the easy route and travel about 2 miles to a local tire shop -- I've seen dump trucks and 18 wheelers getting their tires service there. Uh...this was the...

This may be common knowledge, but it may save someone a bit of time. When changing and refilling the fluid in my differentials and transfer case I initially thought I would simply use my finger to feel the 1/2" level below the filler. That didn't seem to work; especially, after loosing some...

I was pretty lucky. My first Military Vehicle was a M923-A1 2010 rebuild that I got from GL with only 14 hours on the engine -- very clean, beautiful. For quite some time things just kept on working perfectly so I just monitored the fluids. I thought it strange to read several posts on the SS...

I don't have a 450 pound torque wrench, but if I use the formula Distance = Torque/Force, I should be able to stand on a cheater pipe 2.43 feet from the lug wrench with my 185 pounds of weight and create 450 foot pounds of torque. 450 torque divided by 185 pounds (my weight) = 2.43 feet. This...

I'll soon be disassembling the exhaust stack on a M923A1 in order to clean some small rust spots and apply paint. I see in the TM that there are 3 gaskets. Is it standard practice to replace the gaskets when one disassembles the exhaust piping, or are they reusable if they look good? Any...

I can't stress this enough. Yes...I did it. I was being so careful working beneath my M923, then I had to get something out of the cab and left the cab door open. I crawled beneath the truck, crawled back out, stood up, and BAM! I hit my head on the opened door. Man I know I got a...

While driving my M923A1, I stopped at a tire shop and the owner asked me if I could identify his truck on the side of the building. He showed me the truck pictured. I couldn't find any identifier plates attached on the dash in the cab. I told him I don't know, but I know who does -- this great...

Do you happen to have the link to the 900 Series Pre Start Inspection Military Video? I saw the video posted once before on SteelSoldiers; however, my search on SS and YouTube hasn't been successful. Thanks.

First, yes...let me state the obligatory "I have searched and I've read the TMs", but I still can't find out whether or not I just keep pumping grease into the front wheel grease fitting indicated on the attached photo until I see grease coming out of somewhere? I realize you pump most grease...

This may be common knowledge, but just in case it's not, I'll take the risk and post this. When I first got my M923A1 I thought the truck downshifted pretty hard -- lunging forward a bit too much. But then I remembered something I read years ago while studying how to drive emergency response...

I first searched Google and Steel Soldiers but didn't get a hit. This is a simple question, but each time I give a newbie a ride in my M923A1 I have to tell them, "Please don't open the door all the way. It will hit the mirror and possibly move it out of proper adjustment". Do any of you know...

I realize this is a simple question, but I'd like to ask y'all for advice. My M923 didn't have the bottle jack, handle, wrench, nothing. So...what would you do? Would you try to find the OEM components or simply buy a socket, extension, breaker bar, at Northern Tool, etc.? I have a glad hand...

The turn signals on my '85 Am Gen M923 A1 work great until I actually start the engine. After I start the engine and then activate a turn signal, it blinks only once. The turn indicator (light) on the steering column remains constantly lit (not blinking) until I of course manually return the...

Hello everyone, I'm going to pick up my first M923 located in Georgia next week -- l.o.n.g. drive. I plan on taking oil, water, tools, etc. Any other advice? I pray I get it home without any breakdowns. I've downloaded the manuals and will try to determine what type of transmission fluid and...
