    M939A2 series Oil in Rear Hubs

    I tore down the rear axle hubs to inspect and repack my bearings, I popped the axle shaft off and oil ran out of the hubs on the left side (probably gonna be the same for the right side as well. The outer bearings were not coated in grease, either bc the oil eventually dissolved the grease and...

    M939 series diffs

    To leave the M920 diff thread alone. Has anyone swapped out the R&P on the 5 ton axles to a more OTR ratio? I would think ring & pinions for Mack trucks could be swapped into the rockwell housings. Are my assumptions wrong?

    M936A2 Drag winch clutch

    I know the A2 doesnt have an oem, free spool for the rear drag winch. Has anyone adapted some kind of clutch or freewheel unit? I know some of ya’ll use an electric winch or maybe a smaller hyd winch to help pull the main line out. That is not what i want to do. Id like to either divorce the...

    M936A2 aftercooler removal

    has it been successfully accomplished of permanently removing the aftercooler without installing an intercooler? Or would installing an intercooler be best? reading in the -10 TM, it says the aftercooler cools the air prior to entering the intake. Is coolant temp of 200+F cooler than the forced...

    tire removal and air leak on M939 A2 series

    2 fold query. first off. How the heck do you get the dang tire/wheel off the axle? i got the front tires off no problem, but getting the rears over the axle/hub flange seems to be a booger. any easy ways? couple pipes over the studs then slide it off on the pipes? if there is no easy way, there...
