So I am digging around the web tonight and I run into the following
and thought I would share it w/ others.
I did a search here and I could not find any info on this, and no one
has ever mentioned it to me. . . ;
Shutdown procedures should be
closely followed on all M939’s
equipped with...
When I first saw green and tan mixed I didn't like it, but
it has kinda been growing on me ever since I have seen
pics of what appear to be MV's in current use by the
military w/ misss-matched color parts.
In your case I think it would look good. Things will be symetrical...
No matter...
I think I might just grab another TC chep someplace.
THAT rebuild would be a big deal.
Conversly, you can find a used one for $300 bux places
like HERE.
prob 250-350 for shipping and call it almost done except for
change out.
Your truck was probably ridden hard and put away wet.
There...
Hmmm,
I am no mechanic but I wonder if you have frozen water in your air lines
someplace. The govenor is suspect IMO. How hard is it to pull it, bring
it inside and let it thaw and examine it or how old is it? How about
just pick up a new one? I know throwing parts at a problem is
not real...
I am no mechanic ...having said that If you install an air hose
fitting so that you can pump air into the system w/o the engine running
you have a way better chance of finding an air line leak.
Additionally have you done a C.O.L.A. test?
You prob have a bad air chamber diaphgram , JUST...
I might add to smell fluids as well...
If things smell burnt...move on or prepare for R&R
That MT654CR ( I believe ) transmission is prob running motor oil and not DEX 3 FWIW as well.
Before you cut buy some PB BLASTER, they sell it at Home Depot now.
Just a lil squirt maybe once a day for a week+ or so then grab some wrenches.
Give it time...That bolt is expensive! Might be hard to replace as well.!
I have been told they are outstanding in all flavors of weather by a 70 year old
man whom lives eats and sleeps these things. He has towed in the snow
as well. Just flip the front axle swich in high range and power on. I was
also told that there is no reason for chains. Personally i will not...
So your saying basically that any MV truck we buy from GL after 2015
that has a diesel, and is older than 2010 model year, we have to
pull the engine and put in a SMOG Legal engine?
If that is the case then I see the price of MV's w/ diesels pre 2010
dropping HUGE. Of corse they can be pulled...
Here is what I was talking about, pg 369 -10 Op manual 2012;
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
CAUTION
Do not allow the M939 series vehicles to exceed 5 mph (8 km/h) or M939A1/A2 series vehicles
to exceed 6 mph (10 km/h) when transfer case is in low and the transmission is in 1 (first)...
These manuals are so big...I saw someplace it said not to go over 5-6 MPH in 1st in low.
THEN I saw a diagram of sorts and the speeds allowed in reverse in low range were BLANK, no info.
I would LOVE to get it directly from a MotorPool Supertinendants mouth exactly as to what the deal is.
I am...
The PS mirror will need ot be re-afixed if you are to drive it,
prob missing parts. If you could determine what is there and maybe
buy the rest, needed or not, you will have the bases covered for
little money. I lust looked and I can not tell if it is just missing a couple
1/4" bolts and nuts...
I was told and I believe it true that if it is cold outside that you will
run that truck for at least a 1/2 hour before all oils and metals
come up to temperature. Additionally it takes some time for
the tires to get loosened up. You will see a difference
in the overall feel of a warmed up vs...
If you have bee here a year I would say your well on your way.
I think i was here constantly for 'maybe' a month and I bought an M925A1.
I planned HUGE before I picked it up. I got all kinds of tools and suvival
gear in case I broke down and I hit the road, drove clear across the state
of WA and...
