Hello all.This is my first post on this site. I have been a member for about 2 years and information I learned here inspired me to buy a 5ton truck. I picked up an M925A1 with 22K miles on it at auction. I had it picked up at Fort Hood and delivered to me. We have 163 Acres, and we have driven the truck about 6 or 7 times. My 11 year old son asks every day if he can drive the truck again :)I am a former paratrooper and never drove one of these in the Army despite having made many tailgate jumps from them :)I found a problem with the engine temperate gauge not working. I disconnected and reconnected the wires on the back of the gauge and it started working.I am currently troubleshooting a Failsafe warning and will post the specifics on that in a new thread later. I just wanted to say hello to everyone here.

Hello from Victoria, Texas. I too, just bought my first 5 ton in April of this year, a M925A2. I had an issue with my failsafe warning device also, I got lucky and it turned out to be a bad ground. Good luck with troubleshooting.

Thanks two.fiveM35, I haven't had much luck running into folks with MV's around here yet. Talking to the lady at the register's office a couple of months ago when I was getting my title, she mentioned the Sherriff's department, a local VFD, and a retired Marine were the only ones that had MV's in the county? I sure there's others. Let me know if you ever head this away and have a few minutes to visit sometime.

North Houston? You living in Greenspoint now?

Okay, that gave me a good chuckle! The first thought that came to mind was that I do not own enough small firearms to live in Greenspoint. However, since I commute into downtown Houston daily for work, I still consider Montgomery (55 miles north) to be just north of Houston.

Welcome to the site and the 5 ton club from Cape Cod, MA. I purchased my M923 back in April also and completed a lot of work (see some of my other posts). Am having a good time working on the truck and driving it so enjoy. Lots of good info on this site.
