When mine starting leaking last year, I removed it and went to a local truck parts supply house that I use regularly. Almost all of the replacements used 1/8" NPT threaded ports, where the stock one requires 1/4". We finally found one that matched up close enough and bought it, but didn't...

Find a local electronics store (NOT the big-box type, but a good local one with knowledgeable employees), they should stock the tools you need and hopefully pass along some expertise as well. Sometimes you get lucky and find an employee who has past military experience with rebuilding/repairing...

In reference to the original posting that started this thread, I have consulted NRS and several other DMV & NHP sources. Changes were made in 2015 legislative session to NRS in regards to various registrations for these trucks that some people were using to save money; restrictions were added...

My local MVPA Chapter is working closely with NV legislators and DMV brass, trying to introduce a new Military Vehicle license plate statute in the next legislative session ("Historic Military Vehicle"). M939s CAN be registered as either personal vehicles or commercial vehicles in the state of...

Woo-hoo! Can't wait to see how this comes out, great job Wes!! Sure wish we still had a popcorn emoji....

Have you tried a Parker Hydraulics shop by chance? My local one (All-Hose) has managed to match every difficult threading/tapping but one for me, and has done some remarkable custom brazing in the instances where either the threading/tapping was unobtanium or too expensive. Just a thought...

When brake fluid gets hot enough to boil, you are now inducing condensation (aka moisture) into your braking system and rust will attack anything & everything within. Lose-lose all the way around.

Available through NAPA. I love this stuff.

Since I started using "The Right Stuff" to seal threaded connections on fuel, oil, air lines, I haven't had a single problem with those connections. I no longer use any kind of tape to seal threaded connections. They are easy to unscrew afterwards if necessary, but TRS helps seal against any...

Welcome aboard! I won't be around Sin City for much longer, so we probably won't get to meet (I'm too busy trying to escape this place). Fellow member NV555 owns an LMTV (I believe); you shouldn't have a problem with the Las Vegas area DMVs, as long as you are listed on the SF97 or buy from...

Time to buy a bobbed Deuce to tow that 105 trailer....if you can find one for sale that has the K-J dataplate, it would still be a "Jeep." :mrgreen:

I replaced the turn signals & rear brake lights on my truck with commecially-available LED units, and the stock flasher seems to work just fine for me.

But they're worth taking the time to read through...you'll pick up a LOT of other info about your truck that way. I have a lot of them in a separate Subscriptions folder. Most of your electrics will be 12-volt; the starter, slave cable bracket, and military trailer plug in the back of the cab...

My M920 is a 1980 model and has almost the same exact problems as yours. The only possible cure I have found is with the headlight switch; it can't effectively handle the load of all the lights on, especially when dash lights are dimmed. Previous threads mention to leave it on all the way lit...

Welcome aboard, Devil Dog!

My 931A2 (RRAD rebuild 2005) had this exact same problem; removed the front driveshaft & found that the front output shaft was broken off inside T-case, and pieces were lying on bottom inside case (per 98G I put some strong magnets on bottom of case to hold them in place while driving). Noises...

Barstow Truck Parts used to have a few of those, until they were shredded for scrap several years ago (along with many other rare trucks). I'd say snap it up; 6x6 trucks don't come up for sale often, and you should still be able to get parts for it. You could always upgrade the motor to a...

Lesson learned, never pull into scales again! :mrgreen:

The only problem I could see with turning it all over to the Feds, is that they'd be all too happy to eliminate any non-commercial exemptions and require a CDL (physical, driver logs, IFTA, etc...) for EVERYTHING over 26K-lbs.
