Got an M931 about a year ago and like many others was refused a title transfer by the DOT. I was wondering if anyone has had sucess getting MV's titled since rule changes went into effect last July. I started going through the DOT requirements to meet the "substantially in compliance with...

???? ----- These two batteries are newer but still could be weak....don't have a load tester handy to check them.

Installed two batteries this afternoon....test meter showed 24v at starter. Tried cranking, but got nothing but solenoid clicks. Thought I found the problem....had loose wire on solenoid, but it didn't help. I had the batteries all charged up and cleaned the cables, but I suppose the batteries...

Quote: "There are usually 2 more leads as well that are ABS related on most M939 trucks. " I was wondering what the other two wires were for....I'll have to be sure and get them hooked up right too.

Thanks NDT, Truck has been sitting since last spring and I need to get it up and going.....Then I'll see if I can get it past the IA DOT's new regristration process.

I'd like to wire my M931 to use 2 batteries instead of 4. I have two good batteries and two bad ones and don't want to spend big$ for new ones. I don't think it will have any trouble with cranking power...I use (2) group 31 batteries to start a D6 dozer without problems. Anyway, check the...

Was curious if anyone in Iowa has gone through the process of filing a "Certification of Compliance" With the DOT since the new rules went into effect July 1st. I've got an M931 that I need to get registered. Doesn't appear that there is a lot that has to be done, but not sure how picky...

Checked my M931...has mark on driver's side windshield (laminated glass) and on both side windows (safety glass)...rear window also had some kind of mark, but no mark on passenger windshield. Suppose it wouldn't be too difficult to change out one side of the windshield. BTW....think you...

Spoke the the IA DOT today....they were aware of the law change, but ouf course they don't have any idea what new guidelines will come out of it. I asked about the situation with my M931 and was told that they don't title any vehicle without the federal safety sticker. The DOT asked why my...

Acvolt, Thanks you for your efforts and also anyone else involved. I only became aware of the problem after buying an M931 this January so hopefully I won't have to wait too long.

Unfortunately the language specifically says that the bill doesn't apply tracked or combination wheel/track vehicles. Are they afraid someone is going to damage a road or are they worried about an armored vehicle? What about a WWII half track? Would that be grandfathered in?

IA Dot still refusing titles... Well, the IA DOT isn't on board yet...just yesterday they rejected issuing a title for my M931 5-ton tractor. So far the local office gave the reason that is was produced under contract for the govenmnet and therefore it isn't eligable for title. Aparently the...

This may have been discussed before, but I ask: Just got the SF-97 back today for my M931 which came as an Arizona title (since that's where GL is based) Took the title to the county office and all was well until the computer rejected it because it didn't have a 17-character VIN #...only has...

It has bango axels...I looked in the TM and found that the -1 or -2 serial number suffix without a letter designation indicates that it came without a body from the factory. I hadn't noticed that before. Mine has an all steel cargo body but isn't painted same as the truck. No doubt it was...

So, now that I've started work on my CCKW, where are your best souces for parts? Doing a 2 1/2 ton isn't like doing an MB where you can pretty much build one out of reproduction parts. (did one about 17 years ago) I'm starting with the engine (as posted in another thread) so those are the...

Can onyone tell me what year this truck is? S/N CCKW-353 185195-2

Found it! Found the s/n under lots of paint on passenger side frame rail, between the front spring mount and the shock absorber. Anyone know what year it was made from the number? I'm guessing '43 or earlier since it's a closed cab. Capt Pat, I looked around the floor pan for a data plate...

Found this no. on the driver's side frame rail just behind the front spring mount. Is that it?....seems strange that it isn't anything like the one bradcckw posted. I didn't see anything on the outside of the frame on the passenger side, but I'll look again.

I've got a closed cab CCKW that I need to get a title for. Can anyone tell me where to start looking for a VIN #? The only thing I've seen so far is a small tag on the driver's side firewall above the voltage regulator. It's difficult to read with all the paint. There are data tags on the...

When I go to pick the truck up I'm thinking I'll take along (4) group 31 truck batteries in case it's batteries are dead (pretty likely)....they don't have some odd type of battery terminals do they? Wish I had another truck and a slave cable to start it with. -------------- After 3 or 4 phone...
