Goldeneagle, I never said to park our trucks and only use them a lawn ornaments. The problem as i see it, alot of these trucks are being bought and used by new owners who have never driven anything larger then their pickup truck, let alone a truck weighting 32,000 pounds. So the point i was...

A few weeks back there was a BIG thread on here by another member who brought up the question of how the public views us and our trucks. First and foremost to me is safety when i drive my truck, and like that other thread pointed out if you have a accident in your truck it can and will reflect...

Not in Arizona too, the vin on the title is the same as what's stamped into the frame. The biggest problem i had was not with the title, it was with the dam insurance wanting to add zeros to the end of my vin. It seems that their computer system did not like the fact that my truck only has 15...

Gimpyrodd, yes i can hold my hand on all the hubs, the rear axle is a little uncomfortable but i can hold my hand on it as long as i like. The thing i found odd is the fact that the front hub was the coolest of them all. Maybe its because that hub sticks out in the airstream, but to me, since...

After reading other members here talking about checking their axle hub temps i decided to check mine. So today, after driving my M925 for about 20 miles none stop i checked all my hub temps. First i check the front axle hub temps, they were right around 98 to 100 degrees. Next i checked the...

Higgs, when i first got my truck i had the same problem with the E brake air switch. Mine was stuck in the up position and my truck wouldn't move an inch. Once i flipped that arm with the roller on it down the brakes released. From time to time mine will still stick, but i now make it a practice...

Just a question, in your first post you said your engine was overhauled in 2011. So was the overhaul done by the Red River Army Depot?

I know this will sound funny, but the military has a manual for every piece of equipment they use. So the best idea would be to sit down with the TM's for your truck, go over the instillation of your top. I know it seems like a simple job to install a top, but by using the manual you will know...

One of the first things i did when i got my truck was to download all the maintenance, parts, and operators manual for it. I have spent hours reading them, getting to know all the different systems on my truck. The problem with only having them on my lap top is i really don't like using it...

The best thing to do, to find the correct price for your "extra" truck would be compare your truck with other trucks for sale in the S.S. classified section. Look for trucks with the same amount of miles and equipment as yours and price your's the same. Why don't you just buy a premium...

Look up your model of truck using the correct TM's for that truck and trouble shoot your problem. Now if it's a M939 series of truck you will find a complete trouble shooting guide in the TM's to help you pin point your problem. I used the TM's to help solve the exact same problem your having in...

Well, i watched 8, m936 trucks today,most were M936A2's, the auction for them was at both Fontana and Barstow. On the low side they went for 5 grand, and on the high side they went for a little over 7 grand. Now the ones that went high had most, but not all of their BII kit. During this same...

Well, i wanted to say thanks to everyone for their ideas, i was finely able to get the side boards out tonight without breaking a thing. I used Karl Kostman idea, but instead of using wood i used an Aluminum bar to bridge the gap between the two stakes. I then used two "C" clamps to clamp the...

M16ty, thanks for the info on diesel engines, i know gas engines real well but still have lots to learn about diesel's.

Could the injector or injector feed for that cylinder of gotten restricted or plugged, to the point were it cut the fuel flow down causing a lean mixture. The mixture got so lean that that cylinder developed very high temps, causing the top of the piston to melt, the top ring land on the piston...

Okay, i have to pick up a big item in about a week, so i need to remove my troop seats. I went to the TM's, and per the manual it states to remove the seats to just slide the lock pins out, and then using soldier "A" and soldier "B" to just slide the seats out of the bed. The troop seats on...

About a year ago there were about 10, M923A2 trucks that came up for auction at French Camp, and all of them had the winch controls mounted in the cab. Along with the controls they all had the Hyd. tank, pump, filter and hoses mounted on the frame, but not one of them had a winch mounted on the...

I own a M925 too, so far i have only run what's listed in the TM's. The TM's list 10 weight motor oil for the trans and i have to say when i first got my truck (only 6 hours on hobbs and 38 miles on speed o) the transmission shifted hard from 2ND to 1ST,so i was thinking about changing to...

Great show, with lots of vendors!! If you were looking for parts and didn't go to the show, boy did you really miss out.

Porkysplace, ask the question, what are the restrictions to registering your truck historic in the state of Arizona. The answer to that question is in the links i posted, but in short they allow no commercial use of the truck at all, the benefits to registering it historic is i now never have to...
