True but the brakes on the m923 should not be as grabby as they are. At least I don't think they should. When I drove it home there was no issues with them stopped fine but after it has set a while they are super grabby. I didn't think about surface rust like some of the other guys mentioned I...

Sorry you asked about my dump truck and in my mind I was thinking about my "bruin tractor, Detroit diesel baby lol" as that is the dump truck I have lol. The M923 I have is not a dump truck it's just the flat bed with flip down sides. I have not looked at the brakes on it so im not sure it's...

The dump truck has cams we run it all over the farm and wedge brakes will load up with dirt and have to take extra care to keep them clean when running it off road. I'm a little lazy so don't want to have to worry about that all the time. I am in no way a mechanic but in pretty handy, I have a...

The brakes were smooth on the trip home no issues at all. The truck sat for a while and was then moved back on the farm that was when they were "grabby". It wasn't driven enough to clean any rust off I didn't even think about that. My dump truck sits for long periods of time and they don't seem...

Now that you say this I bet this may be the issue as the truck had sat for a while. I'll drive it for a bit and see if it smooths up. It needs to just warm up some so its easier to start. I should have thought ahead when i parked it so it would be close to my shop. I really don't like using...

Thanks for the warnings guys, I assure you I am very proficient at running this truck and machinery far beyond the scope of this little thing lol. I have farmed and ran a vast variety of machinery in my life from farm to excivation to semi. My coment where I said "believe" is I have not messed...

I'm well I saw that but didn't use it because I already did a Google search. So i tried the advanced search function with out much luck. Good to know that is forum specific I had no idea thanks guys

I have no idea how yall found those. I searched the forum "advanced". And I did a Google search that only produced a million places to buy them. And your link looks way different than my google search,

A lot came up when i searched block heater. But I didn't see anything specific to the magnetic type block heaters. There is a ton of info regarding the kat30101 style block heaters but this truck might get moved twice a year when it's cold so I was looking a a option outside of installing a...

Ya we have a pretty good ins policy and we are a LLC that "rents" my farm for the use of it which protects the farm. My business partner is a lawyer lol.

Ok I have a m923, it has air brakes I believe. My problem is this the brakes are super sensitive and when I'm just creeping around slow on my farm and touch them the truck stops pretty hard. I will be using this truck for a hay ride and as it is now it will throw people down if they are...

Anyone using this magnetic block heater? Should I stay away from them? I don't want to hurt my truck in any way. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000BOABS6/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1420783106&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX200_QL40

Well I had a fuel leak in the injection pump. I got it fixed thanks to Dixie diesel and she is up and running great. I still have a little air leak at the bleed off valves I plan to just replace all 4 of them and be done with it. I'm pretty sure I can find them fairly easy. Now to get these...

Haha I have plans to paint it John Deere blitz black, it's a "satin black" if you haven't seen it before. It should look killer

Well after searching for a bit I found what I feel like is a solid truck and brought her home last night. It made the 3 hour trip home with out any issues "well almost no issues". There are only two things I think needs addressed and neither are huge issues I don't think. One issue is a small...

Just to clarify I am in no way a "zombie's taking over the world guy" it's just something I do for a Halloween business on the side of my farming. I am not wanting this thread to go that way, Not my intent at all. I was just simply telling what my plans were for the truck I want to buy so you...

Haha no that was not me.

I did have a plain white Chevy van no writing or anything on it that I used to haul beef in a freezer. I raise and sell all natural beef. But I do not own the white van with the bear on it if that is what you mean.

This is cool I didn't know anyone in my area had any of these military trucks. I'm actually pretty close to Dover and Dickson. I'm actually outside Clarksville in the country "Cunningham" off hwy 48/13. If y'all have heard of "Clarksville zombie hunters" that is me. I'm going to use the truck to...

I need to auto trans so my guys can drive it.
