    M939A2 Truck bed

    Living out here there isn’t anyone coming up your rear unless it’s me in my 5 ton, I actually am the one catching people driving down these gravel roads to town faster than the locals of the 50 miles out here. Though when traveling to another town over that is a good idea.

    M939A2 Truck bed

    I have turned the engine up, got a pyro gauge, replaced fuel return valve with adjustable one, getting ready to go with 395's and next is to toss the flatbed off to shave some weight. How much does that flatbed on the back weigh around? Need to haul a backhoe (9,000 lbs) 1200 miles and I...

    So who has bumped the power on a 6CTA cummins

    Attempted to today, but seems the 8mm plug is seized on the injector pump to the point it just stripped out. Time to break out the cutting torch...

    Wipers have never been functional. I get so much wind in the cab anything over 20 mph blows out the Buddy Heater I had riding up front. I'm going to fabricate something to fix the gaps if that's how the door windows sit. Got my pole barn ready now for working on her, won't start on it till I get...

    I have a new windshield the old one is damaged, rusted and seals dry rotted beyond repair. Someone dropped something on the roof and it doesn't sit right either. Ran out of time to fix anything as I have nowhere to work on it last winter so I drove it as is. Spent all my time getting pole barn...

    No there isn't one, we thought of calling her Lucille in name of one I lost to "Type 63" 107 mm missile round, but we decided best to move on from the memories and create new ones in the civilian world.

    When all hell is breaking loose is when I show up to save the day with the rig, and the rig works for it's keep. Won't push her too far as I know her limits. Soon she will be bringing all the materials in for a passive solar house for me to build. No matter if it is -40 or if it is 115° she is...

    Largest alternator for 8.3 that's a direct swap?

    Only going to have 1200W of solar for a 20kWh battery and you are worried about an alternator having enough power to quickly charge a lead acid battery more than .1 C rate. Never mind I’m moving on, I’ll find the door, though I will leave this here…

    Largest alternator for 8.3 that's a direct swap?

    So you are trying to charge a 24VDC battery bank @ 20kWh which equals around to 833Ah if I am not mistaken at a C rate of .1 a 140A would be sufficient even with all the lights on the rig on. That means you are running around with at least 8 GC's or (12) 2V batteries which means powering up a...

    m923a2 recreational vehicle upgrades

    Seems to be easier to just buy a A1 and put everything over from the A2 on it minus the engine with few mods.

    Just put lockers in the front rear axle only.

    M923 & M925 questions

    I didn't dig deep, though thanks. Just wonder if chains would act the same way. Would be heavy as hell with chains and not easily taken off just like those tracks.

    M923 & M925 questions

    Be afraid one slips and snap the chain, plus the weight. I put duals on my semi and they are heavy with limited room due to a flatbed I have on my semi. Thanks for the visual!

    M923 & M925 questions

    Anyone with a M939A2 running 16 R20 wheels know the distance between the two wheels in the rear. Wanting to replace my 14 R20's and get a set of 16 R20's cause of how deep the snow and mud get here and also put at set of chains on at least the front rear axle and the front axle itself. Going up...
