    M939 Wiper Arms & Blades...

    I find the replacement civy wiper blades for the M939/A0 A1 series but not the arm itself. Will the Anco/Trico replacement arm for the Deuce work on the 5 ton or is it a different item unto itself? Thanks... Mark

    NHC 250 Oil Pressure

    In looking at the AM General M939 series trucks on GP, it seems that every one of them seems to run a different oil pressure, anywhere from 35-95 PSI., low or high miles/hours notwithstanding. Is there a "normal" oil pressure for the AMG M939 series or do they really vary that much?. All I can...

    AM General Engine Questions...

    Did the M939 series AM General 5-ton trucks, specifically the M934, all come with the same engine? I've heard that they were either the HC 250(?) or a Cummins '8.2 liter'. Anybody have the definitive answer? Mark

    A Warranty? S-U-R-E...

    When replacing the stock oil filter canisters on my M185A3 with spin-on units, I noticed the labels attached to each. On one canister it mentioned a "warranty". I wonder what type of "warranty" Toole Army Depot provided on their rebuild and to who? The other label seemed to indicate that the...

    More Random Questions...

    A few things that I need answers for regarding my M185A3: 1. Has anybody built one of the Canadian cab racks as shown in the TM's for the M35? If so, was it worth the cost of materials and labor and did it fit without resorting to 'adjustments' with the sledgehammer? 2. What would cause my air...

    It's A Thing Of Beauty...

    The holiday breaks gave me enough time to scrounge thru, unload and work my way to the bottom of the pile of NOS parts that I negotiated for when I bought my former M109A3/current M185A3 truck. So today I'm down to the bottom of the stack with only 5 rims with shot transport tires, a rusty...

    What I Didn't Know...

    Not really knowing what to look for to differentiate between a M109A3 and a M185A3 prior to purchasing my truck, and which the past owner(s) weren't aware of either obviously, as the truck was always titled and advertised as an M109A4, it wasn't until I checked the data plate upon receiving the...

    M185A3 Parking/Emergency Brake Issue...

    Attached are pictures of the parking/emergency brake handle on my '66 M185A3. After reading prior posts on the forum, I'm thinking that this handle is the "early" style. What I'm not sure of is if there anything missing from it, like a cylindrical adjusting cover over the cable stem and bolt...

    M35A2 Battery Cable Size(s) & Lengths...

    While checking out the batteries on my M185A3 today, I noticed that some, if not all the cables coming into and exiting the battery box are dry, cracked, frayed and probably not too long for the world. I've read on the site to use 2/0 welding cable for replacement, but is that size for all the...
