    939 abs ?

    With the standard 939 ABS, each control valve controls one side of each axle, with the back axle being the sensor wheels. If you bob (neuter) a 939 and plumb one wheel to one valve and the other wheel to the other valve, if the abs activates, it could cause a spin, so how about plumbing both...

    LMTV towbar pin SIZE

    Just for those that plan to use a standard medium towbar on the front of one of these trucks, the 1" PINS will NOT fit the tow holes below the lift shackles, either it is the paint or the hole is to small, you could "maybe" drive the pins in but do not think you can.
