I'll be getting in later than I want (very late Thursday night or early Friday). Ed and I will be in our usual spaces just to the right as you come in the main gate. the spaces are right where the pedestrian gate is.
I'm looking for:
A low air warning buzzer for an M44/M809 series truck
A...
I think that since the engine would generally cost more that the truck itself I'd call a Cummins dealer and get the advice from the horse's mouth.
If things go as planned the stock air filter on my M915A1 is getting yanked out and a filter is going either on the fender horizontally or...
I'm not familiar with the spring base in the M939 series but in an M44/M809 cab the spring base with an M1009 bucket seat give me a few more inches of headroom and about 3" more lap and leg room in addition to being pretty comfortable. (6'4", 230#)

I've bought a number of M1009s and M1008s, some listed as running, some not, some unknown. Some were previewed and some not. The only one we couldn't drive home or onto the trailer was listed as non-running. It had two bad batteries in it. We dropped batteries in it and it fired right up but...
Bill, one staple of life is missing from your list. There's no gun shop. As a plus, if anybody gets ornery Tractor Supply sells cattle prods... :-D
What time do they start b-fast?

Good luck with the new truck.
Take a rag to stiff into the back of the transfer case and some zip ties to fasten a...
Danl, if you look at the side of the tranny behind the battery box cover you'll see the data plate. It will confirm or deny what tranny it is. I've never heard of an M915A1 with anything but an HT-754 CRD but who knows what could have been done over the years.

I don't know about Muncie but Chelsea clearly states that their constant mesh PTOs for the Allison transmissions we're talking about here do NOT need shimming and claim that fact as a benefit that makes for easy installation. Still, if you are concerned then that's why they have technical...
Ferro, I suspect the issue is that the GI trailers don't have running and clearance lights so a civy trailer is drawing a lot more amps than a GI trailer with just tail lights. I guess you could use the regular light switch to trip a relay and let the relay carry the load.
I'll have to ask my...
There are some thick triangular gussets running from the side rails to the rear rail over the pintle that may be in the way. I'm looking at putting a flip goose neck ball on my M915A1 and will likely have to weld a plate between the gussets of be prepared for some fabricating.

Ditto. From the limited view it is the part of a 4 seat soft-top humdinger cover that boots up to the short piece over the front twp seat. It covers the rear two seats and the cargo bed.
