Update: I've had some time in between projects to pull the "Buffalo" out and diagnose issues. She had no power to anything so I've been jumping the starter relay directly. Mechanically it's happy and sounds like a good running M939A2. I've managed to get 12v power to the cab internals and all...

Ramdough and I did a winch swap from an M1083 to a M1083A1 and it's much easier with the front shaft removed. Do youself a favor and buy a tigertool (or knockoff) and a big impact which makes the job incredibly easy. You'll need to unbolt and drop the cross member under the bellhousing too as it...

You should have 3 poles for the M49 or M66 setup: 2 behind the cab and one front right near the exhaust. If the poles are a correct set they should be easily identifiable as to which goes where based on adapter plate and bolt holes. The cab reinforcement kit is encouraged (someone had kits for...

I'll only relay what I've been directly told. The government is working at reduced capacity due to the 'Rona and their focus is on clearing any EUCs they can. SF-97s take a back seat. Anything more than that is speculation on my part.

SF-97 and titles are on hold. Direct from regional sales manager of GP and confirmed by operations assistant manager.

How did you wire in the eyecon lights? I have that exact setup but the project has been set aside for sometime now and I need to finish it.

My store wont. I just made 4 gallons 383 green and 4 gallons 686 tan from stored account info. I tried to cross reference the lusterless deep forest that another SS member was asking about but it wouldn't find it.

Bought a wrecked M1078A1R and parted it out so nothing but time and labor.

And it was SO CLOSE TOO!!! rofl

Quick updates. I replaced the air compressor with a newly rebuilt one and that unit ended up having an oil leak.. so i traded an internal leak for an external leak. :mad: It had a 1 year warranty so I swapped it out and am insanely quick at the process now. If only other M-series trucks were...

KREDD has been a source of good info. He speaks highly of these units despite the military's abuse of them.

Thank you! (y) 14.00 Goodyear AT-2, nothing special. I tried to keep this unit stock since it wasn't abused too much.

Got this girl all dressed up for work. I need to finish the cab interior then off she goes!

I agree, go with the aftermarket unit. I scouted around for about 2 week looking for a good used or NOS unit and people are wanting $600 for one. Ugh..

It's a total gamble, who knows until you try it. Make sure you remove the valve cover and check the injectors. If they're stuck the engine will run away on you.

Less than that, maybe half since it's a non-running core. Someone on the flebay is selling a complete engine for $1250. There's also another person selling 6 engine/transmission/radiator sets for $2k each so there's your price points. If you don't plan on using it why not try to start it up and...

I didn't want to assume you had a power disconnect box as shown in your picture. Only later model A1 trucks and some early ones that went through a rebuild got it and it's a great feature. You could tap into it for your high amp draw or use a slave adapter if you don't want to modify anything...

I almost bought some property in Krum some years back so you're right m715mike. Thank you for the kind words. As for 12v tap for high amp draw it depends how high of a draw. If you're wanting max allowable power draw you can tap directly into the reverse polarity box behind the cab (behind the...

Update on my unit (thanks for the bump Scrounger): The compressor was indeed at fault for putting oil in the air system. I was fortunate that a local compressor place could order a Haldex replacement compressor for a reasonable price ($370) with a 1 year warranty. It wasn't an exact replacement...
