    Best places to look for a reliable 6.5 TD engine? What is needed to swap from a 6.2?

    WOW! Are you sure that is not for the turbo motor? That was the price of the turbo motor the last I checked about 15-18 months ago. If that is for the NA motor, their prices have gone up substantially (and by that I mean more than doubled). A friend bought a NA 6.5L motor from them toward the...

    Best places to look for a reliable 6.5 TD engine? What is needed to swap from a 6.2?

    Eastern Surplus in PA has 6.5 NA (and 6.5 TD) motors for sale. The last I spoke to Bill Peaslee there, I was told they will test run the engine and send you a video of it running. When last I saw, they were asking around $2K for the NA and $4K for the TD...give or take a few $$$.

    Adding pintle hook to front bumper of M923 - Estimated weight capacity?

    I have no idea about an answer to your question, so this may or not be helpful. But, I have had an M932 that was a former USAF truck that had a bumper mounted pintle hitch. They reinforced the bumper at the hitch point with additional slabs of 1/4" steel. How well reinforced the mounting...

    In need of M997A2 rear doors and step assembly

    TNJ Murray in Dover, DE has a complete rear body. It is very nice. It probably won't help you as you would have to buy the entire thing. I believe he wants like $10K, but call or check his website to be sure.

    I'd contact Memphis Equipment.

    Things I need to do before I drive my M925a2 home

    Make sure you bring extra fuel filters with you, especially the little in-line filter, assuming your truck is so equipped. Most of the A2s I've owned at the little in-line filter, but one or two had the m809 series filter retrofitted. Good luck.

    Air condition dash vents

    Mac Motors in PA will have them. I am unsure, but you might have to have a part #.

    Need M101A3 Trailer moved from MT to MD

    Keith, I hope you are well. When I saw this thread, I was hoping you were moving back. But, I know how much you love Montana!

    Rebuilding Troop seats

    Let me know when you are doing it; I may be able to come over on a Saturday to give you a hand. You are not far from me.

    Rebuilding Troop seats

    NDT is correct. I've rebuilt a set of troop seats once. After all of the work, not to mention cost, I decided it is better to buy them. I used to get mine from Rich Greene in PA and John Winslow in NC. Unfortunately, both have passed away.

    Freight Shipping

    Another option would be to check with Fastenal to see if they can handle it. I've used them before and I've been very satisfied.

    6x6 engaged ???? Help

    That is the transfer case lever. The lever that engages the front axle is in the second picture you attached (below and to the right of the light switch). Regarding the headlights, there is a button on the floor to the left as you are sitting in the driver's seat that turns on and off the high...

    have a m925 but a m917 or ?

    Freightliner made an M917A1/A2 for the military, but they are hard to find and will be very costly IF you can find one. I'd plan to spend at least $30K for one, but almost certainly more.
