I will be there. M915 probably.

Sounds like the guy ran Quaker State oil. My dad did in his car and when I rebuilt the engine, I had to scrape the caked oil/mud off the INSIDE of the block with a puddy knife before I could get it hot tanked.

Remove the nylon screw from the alternator with the Transpo regulator. I'm pretty sure that regulator is adjustable.

The hydraulic pump runs off the transmission PTO on the M929.

Some are going to jump up and down but if and when I do a complete job from wheel cylinders to master I switch to dot 3. Dot 5 is way over priced. I can change out the dot 3 five times a year if I wanted to for the price of dot 5 once. I did this also. The wheel cylinders in my M35A2 were all...

I use a needle fitting on the grease gun.

By the time you figure all of your expenses, it's going to cost about $1 a mile to operate a M939 series 5 ton. You will get 6~7 mpg if you're lucky. Wear items will eat you up and if you have pay someone to work on it you will need a large limit on your credit card. If you have enough $ and...

I had similar rust issues under the floor mat of my M1028A2. I just removed the mat and as much rust as I could by scraping, needle scaling and wire brushing. Then I used Ospho to treat the rust. After washing off the powder residue from the Ospho, I used red oxide primer over that. I have...

I have done this in the past. It's not hard.

Once you finish with all the details and finalize the part numbers, post a new complete part list with any other info you need to put at the beginning of the thread and ask a mod to update your original part list post or put this info in the first post. That way the important info is in one...

None of the MVs mentioned so far are as comfortable or as efficient as a newer one ton dually pickup. That said, I enjoy driving my MVs. But, I would have been hating life yesterday if I was driving my M35A2 up and down the 10% grade of Teton Pass towing my 28ft RV instead of my '99 F350...

Don't wimp out on us now Scott! There is not one person who has turned a wrench that hasn't had something go in the toilet or grenade for no obvious reason. You just need to step back, take a break and evaluate the problem. A second set of eyes looking at a problem is also a good thing as...

It's going to be somewhere between what the big surplus equipment dealers are asking and what you see from the classifieds here. The prices from GL/GP are usually a lot lower because you are rolling the dice as to if the truck has major problems or even runs. If it doesn't, too bad. If you...

Looks good Ray. Make sure the gap around the drawers is smaller than the smallest thing you put in them so items can't launch over the side or back and be hard to retrieve. Or in my case, my wife puts something small enough to hop on the edge of the drawer and get stuck when you pull the drawer...

Thin the WVO with diesel. 50% will be fine. If you are in a warm climate use less diesel.

Yeah, SS (Steel Soldiers) ain't like AA (Alcoholics Anonymous). We don't provide support to end an addiction, we are enablers! I can only speak for myself of course... First I got a Deuce, surely this isn't too much I thought and I can stop here. Then I wanted a M818. OK, power steering is...

Thanks Artisan, but my M915A1 already has AC and it works well!

Ray and Ray’s next Adventure Well, this is a little after the fact because I don’t have internet where I am now unless I go into town. I won a M373A2 from Ft. Stewart in early June, two days before I was leaving to go to North Carolina for the summer. There was no EUC on this auction so after...

You can look for serial numbers that are close to your's in auctions of the same model truck and figure out the year that way. I determined the year for one of my trucks this way.
