Towed a half track home yesterday with M923a2. Flat towed, in the snow. It was interesting. Could have used some chains.

No argument with you there.Had to lock in the front differential coming up from the valley close to my house on an unpaved road. It had a couple inches of snow and a 100' drop off with no guard rail. Thought it best to not wait til it was too late to lock it in.
I would check your hose clamps.Plugged the block heater back in for the nasty cold coming again. I see there is coolant leaking from somewhere by the oil cooler. I see a small pool of coolant on the ground under the truck also in the same area.
Anyone have any idea what it might be? Its too **** cold to go try and hunt down the leak.
Have parts in stock sir!Hose clamp is what im hoping for. All i felt like doing in the cold was grabbing it and checking the hose for tightness. It "seemed" tight. Supposed to warm up in the next week i should be able to get out and check it out.
Its been exposed to - temps several times this year im hoping the oil cooler didnt crack or somthing a long those lines.
I'd appreciate a write-up. My surplus guy has one that I planned on picking up for the same purpose. The data plate showed it pulls 28A though. If it creates much better heat and volume I'll give it a shot.Got tired of changing heater blower motors, this is the 4th ruined motor between 2 trucks. Used a mrap vent fan, will do a write up when I get to building the 2nd motor. 2nd photo is a comparison between old and new motor sizes

you are correct on 28 amps, the heater CB is 30 amps, so just squeaked under. I only run mine on low, high speed sounds like its going to eat through the fire wall, but this is also the first run, so there will be upgrades.I'd appreciate a write-up.

Given the temps, did you check for dihydrogen monoxide in the lines?Replaced one of these;

Funny how one little part can shut down the whole operation......

Ha, good one! It was oily though, inside and out. Undetermined if 90w or motor oil. Mind you I have seen nothingGiven the temps, did you check for dihydrogen monoxide in the lines?
