    PA - Military vehicle registration....

    When I requested my SF97, I chose 25k as my GVWR. GL sent a title (Arizona) with that as the GVWR. When I went to flip the title, I had to get a GVWR verification at a licensed mechanic. The PA title (which I have yet to receive) will state the actual GVWR. Fortunately, I've chosen to get...

    PA - Military vehicle registration....

    This information is 100% accurate. Unfortunately, PennDot locations are not always aware of the rules. You can request the non commercial Class B OR Class A. I have a non commercial Class A permit because I want to pull a trailer (NON COMMERCIALLY) behind my M931A2. The permit is often...

    Like new 931a2

    I won an M931A2 out of DE. It was overhauled on August 28, 2012 at Red River Army Depot. It still had the overhaul papers on the floor. It had 2 full tanks of fuel, CTIS works flawlessly, SEVEN brand new tires, with the nipples, new paint, including overspray on the treads and not a scratch...

    M931A2 won't start

    Yes, operator error. I was not aware of the fuel tank switch on the floor. I've driven dual tank trucks before that had a single switch on the dash. I was expecting that switch to change tanks and fuel sending units. The batteries are charging now, I've filled both tanks. I'll prime it...

    M931A2 won't start

    I have read that spraying ether through the mushroom is a bad idea because it doesn't distribute it evenly through the cylinders as the ether injection kit does. I'll pass on the ether for now. I have a plan to follow and some great ideas as soon as the batteries are charged and the weather...

    M931A2 won't start

    I searched "Emergency Shutoff" and had the same result. Based on PP's post, I think the search to reset it would involve the term "fuel pump shutoff valve", although I did not search further because the step to reset it was provided in this thread. At a quick glance, I thought all the relevant...

    M931A2 won't start

    Toby, I was not referring to anyone in particular. Just how frustrating the TM's and troubleshooting can be when I've never even seen under the hood of this truck before buying it a month ago. I'm no diesel mechanic, but I feel comfortable enough around an m35 multifuel to do a lot without...

    M931A2 won't start

    Awesome advice. Thank you! Not spit or sputter, nothing. Here is an off the wall thought. I noticed when switching tanks, for troubleshooting, that the driver side tank is full (on the gauge) and the passenger side is empty (on the gauge). During the recovery I topped the tanks off half way...

    M931A2 won't start

    There are two. The big can under the drivers side fender in front of the firewall is NAPA 3401. On the passenger side there is one that looks like an oil filter for a car. I have NAPA 3472. I've gathered these from other posts, but have yet to install them myself. Good luck! Mikey

    M931A2 won't start

    Kawgomoo, Excellent posts, thank you. The TM's are frustrating. Yeah, of course I'm reading them. But they don't have pictures, and many of the diagrams like the one PS linked above, must be from the Cummins 250 because it looks NOTHING like my fuel pump and solenoid on the 8.3. I provided...

    M931A2 won't start

    Again, keeping in mind that I'm brand new to the 939, let me verify how I believe this works. At rest, vehicle powered off, that lever SHOULD be to the rear of the truck, where it currently is. When cranking, the solenoid should close and the lever should open towards the front of the truck...

    M931A2 won't start

    That cable is disconnected, according to porky's first post. I'll find the instructions for resetting it and see if that helps. Thanks

    M931A2 won't start

    Searching "emergency" in all three parts TM's produced only lights and couplings. I'll try other terms for the emergency stop cable. And I did just notice two more parts TM's for Depot Maintenance parts. I'll search those as well.

    M931A2 won't start

    I've read A LOT of your posts regarding the 939, thanks! I'll have soldier B tomorrow. I'll check the solenoid while starting, then drain the water separator. Then I'll prime the system and go from there. Thank you! Mikey

    M931A2 won't start

    Obviously that's not the current fuel issue, but yes, it looked like it should go through that hole. But of course, that just pulls the lever towards the driver, the position it is now, to stop fuel. But good to know it was "disabled" for some reason and I'll reconnect that while I'm under the...

    M931A2 won't start

    I did not switch tanks when it died or anytime within the last week. I did switch tanks a few times, since recovering it without issue. I did read the threads about cleaning the tank selector as that is known to let air in. Step 1 for me was inspecting the emergency stop cable and the...
