There is a common misconception that LEO actually has time to "catch more" people breaking the law, or that they sit around corners anxiously awaiting the unsuspecting law breaker cross their path. The fact of the matter is you can pull people over all day long for legitimate reasons, without...

I saw your thread about transport first, then read this thread. Every post. I knew from the transport thread, who sold you the truck. I was thinking the entire time that this doesn't sound right. They are amazing people do deal with, about as honest and fair as you'd ever meet. They are...

Left and Right tanks only, no "off". Switching tanks can be done while driving with no issue. The only issues appear to be, as other have stated, when the o-ring is damaged from sitting OR if you run a tank dry. As many of us have learned the hard way, if you run a tank dry, switching tanks...

I fell for this also when I first got my M931A2. There are two problems with the "looking around" approach. First, if you've ever driven a Ford F250 stake truck from the 80's, which I drove for years, the tank selector is on the dash, so when you see the tank selector on the dash of the 939...

I found it funny was that the OP and I had exactly the same parking job, 3 deuces and a 939.... I've got more iron not pictured but definitely not as much as you Jeepsinker! Mikey

Your avatar is awesome. Here is a picture I took 2 weeks ago from my yard... Great minds think alike lol... Mikey

I get my interstate blems (1100CCA) with a 1yr warranty for $45. At that price and with 7 trucks, I'll buy the blems all day long and won't even complain if I get the random dud that only lasts a year. Mikey

Jeff, Thank you. I'm so glad I started this thread. I was getting frustrated searching here, Google, eBay etc... I have a 54 REO M108A2 (MF)... I'll PM you the SN this weekend. My thanks also go out to Kenny and for Dennis for helping you, which ultimately helps me. It's nice to know...

THANK YOU!!!!!! Mikey

There are always true "parts trucks" out there. I bought two deuces from my first auction. I wanted one runner and one parts truck. They both ran and were in great condition. I didn't have the heart to tear apart a good runner, so I bought a parts truck with no title. I still have both...

I was hoping there was a trick to remove the pins. I'll splice them. Thanks Mikey

I always check the level when the truck has been running for at least 10 minutes, but I find no reference to "operating temperature". Yes it registers a temperature and yes it's below 180f when the pictures above were taken. As per TM9-2320-272-23-5: Withdraw dipstick slowly to prevent a...

I have read the TM's and searched the forums, but can't find an answer to my question. When checking the trans fluid for my M931A2, my truck has OE/HDO 10, I start the engine, let it warm up, put it in neutral with the parking brake on and I check the fluid level. I get the same result every...

I have an M931A2 from Red River with the J and B pins reversed on the female NATO plug at the rear of the truck. Because of that, every military trailer I connect to my truck has the turn signals reversed. I looked at the rear of the plug and tried to remove the J pin with a little bit of...

All of those features would be nice EXCEPT the power widows. I have enough problems buying these trucks with one woman in my life. Mikey

The market will dictate the prices, not the seller. Look in the classifieds here at some trucks with ridiculous prices. They sit. The thread gets bumped coming down $1k per bump and they still sit. The seller does not dictate the prices, the market does. I don't care how much you THINK your...

Thanks guys!!! Mikey

Anyone? Anyone have a scrap M108? Any sites to have them made? Any photos of the data on them? Google, eBay, TNJ, Erik's, Saturn are all no help. thx Mikey

I also own an M931A2. You said the ABS worked on the front but not the rear. I believe that's due to the lack of weight / traction you have in the rear. The back of these trucks is so light that I sometimes need to engage my front axle just to get around my yard. Sometimes I laugh at the...

Does anyone know where I can get data plates for my 54 REO M108 wrecker? Thanks! Mikey
