Yep, I bought a couple sets of those myself that I plan to mount on my M931A2

Looks good!

Saddamsnightmare, You seem to be the one trying to make trouble. Maybe if you focused on the truck instead of trying to become a catalyst to an argument we can enjoy this thread.

I find it funny that Swift trucks have such a bad reputation that they are known across the country as a problem. I hear truck drivers complaining about Swift trucks all the time here in Texas.

Can you record a video and post it? This would provide audio of the sound you are hearing.

Any issues with the oil breaking down the rubber in the tires?

Check the TMs for some basic measurements. How you plan to attach the box to the frame is another can of worms. Suggest you load the camper in the bed or take a serious look at the way they mounted the bed. The bed is not hard mounted to the frame so the frame can flex without twisting the...

What kind of problems are you seeing on the m939a2 trucks? I think a list of specific issues would add value to this thread. Especially if you fixed something more then once

Not arguing that the deuce is a more simple design that is very easy to work on (i.e., not complex). I thought you were saying the M939 was junk, and was wondering if I missed a failure issue that I missed in my research. I did not mean to offend, just wanted to tap your knowledge of what I...

Justin, I'm confused, you are worried about cost of a few less mpg, then you talk about fabricating a cabover for a deuce??? (8 to 10 mpg in the M939A2 (not A1) and maybe 10-12 mpg in the deuce.) Jeepsinker, I have two deuces and love them, and I'm fairly new to the M939 series (i.e., one...

:) I must be imagining things. :)

So you are saying that distilled water is bad to use for coolant? (wonder what the TM says. :) ) BTW, your link lists "DI water is as pure as the distilled water or even purer", but I'm guessing that the difference, IF ANY would not be detectable in a military trucks radiator.

Use distilled (i.e., no minerals in the water) or buy the 50/50 premix stuff as suggested.

I agree. The cost of those upgrades will cover a lot of maintenance on a 900 series, and you have a lot more commercial parts on the M939A2 trucks.

I believe he is recommending that you remove the valve stem and test mount it before you modify. Then check clearances and take pictures. Pictures will allow group input if there are follow up concern, etc. Also will allow us to see how they align, etc., for those that may follow.

always amazed by the generosity of members. :)

I've had the outer bearings repacked with new grease and the inner bearings untouched (old and corroded). Don't know if it was bad service or that they just stopped half way and put it back together before surplussing it.

Sounds like the question you need to ask is more about running a truck in Alaska at those temperatures. Being from Texas, my view point on these trucks is a bit moot, but I am sure there are members in colder climates that can provide more relevant info on Arctic cold weather running.

I second that. A m939A2 would be my choice. I bought a m931a2 and plan to put a m109a3 box on the back.
