    Just won my first MV! A 1990 M923A2 from Fort Hood. -Have a few general questions.

    I would check the front tires. If they have cracks or wavy sidewalls I wouldn't take it over 55 if that. I pushed 65 a couple times just to see what it would do but the majority of the time I was running 50-55 with good but wavy tires. If they are cracked or badly wavy I wouldn't do over 45-50...

    Mission Success! Just got in with the much needed tool loans, and knowledge of davo727. Truck runs great and has almost all new serviceable parts. I'm dead tired after leaving at 4am and getting in now. Will give details and a couple pictures tomorrow!

    Just won my first MV! A 1990 M923A2 from Fort Hood. -Have a few general questions.

    Yes that is a good point. I intend to stay over night insuring everything is up and running and that I have time to charge the batteries. Aside from the middle tire condition being unknown everything appears to be covered and will be inspected before moving. I am used the having to air up 2-3...

    idahosinker - you are the second one to say that. I will make sure I take them off and charge them first. Thanks!

    Just won my first MV! A 1990 M923A2 from Fort Hood. -Have a few general questions.

    You are definitely right, however, that would not be nearly as fun! All tires on driver side are inflated and appear new tread. - Assuming usual cracks. Spare looks unused. Mid passenger tire is flat. hoping it will air up. - If not, I will tow. I should be able to swap the spare for the...

    Thank you for the info on the air chuck. - I will pick one up. The batteries will be fun. I will figure out something for charging them so I don't hurt the alternator. - Really appreciate that notice.

    Thank you for your rely! I've left a couple myself but they don't appear to be posting. Looks like a 3/4 set for the tires. - I will pick that up with a jack and stands at harbor freight and take someone with me along with the fluids and batteries. Do you know if in Texas a class B is a must...

    @ mkcoen Thank you for the quick reply! Good to know. @ fuzzytoaster Thanks for the details. I'll take a batteries just in case as well as all of the fluids. Would water be ok with our current temperatures? Planning to flush when I get it home anyway. Any idea on the lug size? @...

    Haven't driven one since the guard in late 90's - early 02 and never purchased one so I have a few questions! Didn't expect to win or I would have been better prepared and started researching earlier. My first question: I have previously bought items that required an EUC that was clearly...
