From a rebuild standpoint, the M939 are not actually rebuilt. I sent for a complete description of the actual recondition process and wasn't too impressed by what they do. To use the term rebuild couldn't be farther from the truth.

I'm going to try and make it! Won't be there too early as I'll have the family with me. Not sure when I'll get there, I've got a board meeting in West Olympia around 1300 hours. May try and it before or after the meeting. Plus I'll be finally buying a M101A2 tomorrow morning as well.

Brad must be coming back soon.

It was common practice in the older deuces to put the headlights low in NON-winched trucks. Then around the early '70's they started relocated the headlights topside on ALL deuces.

Welcome aboard!

Looks like a ton of fun

Congratulations on your newest acquisition! You'll love it and will be looking for another to keep your lonely truck company.

I punched a 1/4-1/2 hole in radiator on my deuce. I drained it and used an acid flux solder (plumbing type stuff from Home Depot) and a butane torch. Two years later, no issues;-)

Unfortunately the castle nut is correct on this towbar Brad. I say unfortunate because it's very difficult for any one man to lift the thing. Doesn't make for an easy break down of the towbar. I bought a NOS one of Craigslist for $40. Well it still sits where I slid it out of the back of my...

I paid only $131 for an M939 PCB from a really really popular auction site;-). It's being sold directly from the gov't manuf of the item.

If anyone is planning on buying a tan 5 ton truck from somewhere in the Pierce County area. GO INSPECT FIRST!!!!

Looks great! As the paint gets rinsed (rain etc) the paint will get flatter. During the first few rinsings, you'll get dark streaks in the paint. No worries as that's an ingredient in the latex paint that'll rinse out (would otherwise be absorbed by wood). Do not get her wet for at least a week...

Have you checked the pressure relief valve on top of the axle first? I found I had a leaky axle on my deuce and thought it was the seal. Later found the pressure relief valve was plugged, thus causing a build up in pressure within the axle...forced fluid out through the seal.

Great looking truck. I know it'll be different from state to state, but my SF quoted me $33/month for a commercial policy for my M925A1. Since I don't use my MV for "work", I have them registered under their "Classical" Policy for a mere $22/6 months (or $3.66/month) for my M923 and M925A1. With...

Welcome aboard from the north! Do a search for "2013 VIN". There's a fellow SS by the handle CARNAC that can look up the VIN of your truck and provide you with year and the last Army Unit she was assigned to for a small donation.

Ahh, you're a late riser Scott.:driver:Oops, I thought it was on a Saturday. Sunday's my day for God. I won't be there.

EGT will help determine that.
