    No Longer Stuck here w/no primary air, safe to drive home?

    Verified no air at petcock on 2 of the valves. 2 other valves have pressure.

    No Longer Stuck here w/no primary air, safe to drive home?

    I have secondary air but no primary air with no air leaks to be found. Can't leave it here, do I gamble with only secondary air? Worked fine 8 hours ago and just sitting in the parking lot. Tried starting, turned everything off then started again but still no primary air.

    Updated pg #5; I now own a 1990 M923A2.

    I would have put money on DHSMV coming through today and my permanent license plate arriving in the mail. I would have lost money on that bet. Used the time working on my camo and bumper numbering. Really looked into and planned out what my bumper numbers would mean; since they were going to...

    Florida DMV Trip

    Well, DHSMV called me to inform me that I owed them $1.35 and that my new tag would not be mailed out until they received payment.:D Quick phone call and a credit card number and my tag has been shipped via USPS (I verified by running my VIN and seeing the tag info listed now). I felt like I...

    Updated pg #5; I now own a 1990 M923A2.

    Still have some tan parts to paint underneath; not to mention a camo pattern to apply... but I'm really enjoying this truck. Tallahassee has cashed my check for my tag transfer but the last time I ran my VIN, it still doesn't show up with a tag number yet. Since I have the tag already, as soon...

    painted my M923A2 today

    Good grief; I've been painting mine for weeks... a little at a time. I'm at 6 gallons so far and I'm still not finished. Yours looks great.8-)

    Well, I can safely say that it is more green than tan now. Can't believe how hard it is to cover such a light color, I'm at 3 coats in some places and have used 5 gallons of slightly thinned paint. Forgot who said it earlier but he was right, it's not a sprint... more of a marathon (or...

    Florida DMV Trip

    Just thought I would relate my trip to the Florida DMV in regards to my 1990 BMY-HARSCO M923A2. My trip consisted of transfer of Florida Title into my name, sales tax for the purchase, and moving an antique tag from a 1969 Fairlane onto my recently purchased M923A2. My M923A2 has never been...

    Updated pg #5; I now own a 1990 M923A2.

    I've broken one socket trying to loosen the rim half bolts. Cheap sockets to begin with; off to Sears for some impact sockets. Thanks for the info just the same.

    Updated pg #5; I now own a 1990 M923A2.

    Would someone please tell me what size socket I will need to remove the tire from the axle? Also, what size socket to remove the two halves of the rim so I can replace the O-ring?

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    Well onto my way to transforming from tan to camo. Pressure washing then wire brushing with wire cup brush on the angle grinder. I think having paint so easily available and cheap, it's the way to go for me.

    Moving forward with the color change. 3" wire cup brush in the angle grinder is slow and back breaking but I know the paint will stick when I'm done. Got tired of the water always pooling on the canvas top and made some temporary bows out of PVC to tighten up the top.

    Updated pg #5; I now own a 1990 M923A2.

    Making progress, oil filters and oil changed, large air filter under cab replaced, pressure washing the entire vehicle for prep for color change to camo/woodland paint scheme, completely wire wheeled and de-greased the entire bed and have rolled on bed liner. Long way to go but I am in no hurry.
