Try Dueceman51 in SD, he has a couple parts trucks, not sure if he has a M916, M917, M918, M919, M920 that would have the switch but it's worth a shout out.

I was going to suggest Methanol however there are concerns with using alcohol in the air system. Particularly in those that don't already have a alcohol tank, because the system was designed without one. Alcohol is bad for the air lines, and dampeners in the ABS system, it also reacts poorly...

Sounds like the desiccant in the dryer needs changing.

Yeah, I have the manual, it's got a pretty tall set of gears. Honestly I think my plan from a few years back, using a used Volvo is the best, but that limits rear drive. I've searched around for Converted M2's and International 4x4 and 6x6, but there isn't a lot available. At least not for a...

I think some are taking the term RV to meet their personally defined parameter. RV or Recreational Vehicle isn't one type of vehicle it's many, Class A, Class C, Pop-up, Camper, Travel Trailer and 5th Wheel are all RV's. In my case I'm referring to 5th Wheel. Most of the alternate vehicles...

Is that with those new tires?

For a few years now I've been planning, on paper and in my head mostly. Converting a truck to be used as an RV hauler. With a growing family and larger RV's now available, I've been looking at using one of the big boy's. Freightliner, Kenworth, Peterbilt or a Volvo as a replacement for the...

Yes, but I have limited storage.

CCC was never owned by AM General, it is and has always been its own company. CCC won the design bid on the trucks for the army, however AM General won the build contract. The original plans submitted to the Army by CCC are owned by the Army upon submital. The first gen trucks had CCC on the...

Pictures would help determine which trailer you have.

I've see them up on Bisman for double what they went for at auction. I've seen M915's go for 5 times what they got at auction and M916's go for 4 times. Oil has everyone thinking they have a gold mine. It's worth what someone will pay.

They won't touch them cause they are probably bad order, out of inspection or no one knows how to service them. Those journal bearings are probably dry as...well dry. And those journals have to be manually packed... Old rail equipment is cool, but it's more expensive then vehicles...I think...

He wanted ot sell you his product. Nearly every Over the road truck class 7 and 8 use a 5th wheel for use with a 2" pin. People do it all the time. The issue most people have is tail swing on the tractor hitting the trailer, that and the electrical connection.

the 5th wheel on the M931 will work for a 5th wheel RV, however the pins need to be the same size IE 2". Pretty sure all RV's are 2" so you should be good. The other issue is clearance the distance PIN to rear of truck on the M931 and your pick-up aren't necessarily equal. So unless you have...

Love the new! Need a build thread on that bad boy!

I've toyed with replacing my unit with a commercially available model. Air filter housings can be had of used wrecked trucks pretty cheap.

Yeah I wasn't worried about breaking them...
