    M931 highway speeds?

    I think the 40 MPH was an ABS thing. Lots of search info on the subject. Good info even with the ABS. When it doesn't test right how fast should you drive and why. I digress. Sorry.:deadhorse:

    Safe Driving Speed and Tire Size on M939 Series Trucks

    I gotta agree that every time you go over convoy speed you are rolling the dice not only for yourself but all those around you. These are huge trucks designed to cross the roadless battlefield. As somebody said, "good common sense sure helps". Drive safe out there.

    bought truck through government liquidation, need help

    Good luck, Whatever you decide to do. If you have a smartphone I recommend Tapatalk. Not while at the wheel though. If you are in a big jam some guys will call you a dumby but most will do what they can to help getting you back on the road. Fuel is expensive and would not even consider...

    Securing trucks for Civilian Usage - how to?

    The low lifes in most cities can get into the snapon truck if you leave it unattended. These are the guys you are supporting when you buy those cheap tools from the guy your brother-in-law knows. Paint it like a MV and they might not mess with it in daylight. Good luck!

    Using a Mule in theatre

    Saw lots of mules when flying into firebases in Vietnam. I doubt that any went outside the wire though. Great machine to carry ash and trash around a small area.

    converting a tractor to a dump

    I have a 932 also. For $1800 you can get a 24v lift kit from C&C. I don't know the specs but they have put several on dueces and 5 tons. I have the 5th wheel and ramps off mine. Looking for a drop side .

    Winch cable

    Just about every descent sized city has an OSHA approved sling and cable shop. A cable snapping and coming at you at a zillion miles an hour is not the way I want leave the forum.

    M818 vs M931A1 head to head

    I liked the comment about the 931 being a lady's truck (auto & ps). The seat also sits well forward.
