    M939A2 series Oil in Rear Hubs

    When I pulled the hubs on my M929 there was oil in the hubs also. It had a regular oil seal on the inter hub and did not leak. A member told me that the axles were originally designed as a wet hub. He told me to leave the outer grease seal out, but since it is also the washer for the hub nuts, I...

    Reversing with the transfer case in low range

    It's only a problem if the front drive is engaged. Remove the washer from the transfer case shift rod or turn the rod around so the washer doesn't activate the front drive air switch when the transfer case is put in low. You can engage the front drive with the switch on the dash when you need it.

    Runaway Starter M1009!

    Check the starter first by pulling the wire at the solenoid as J says above. That's the easiest thing to check and is probably the problem. You can just replace the solenoid if the stater bushings and brushes are in good shape.

    No starting issue

    If you end up pulling the starter. Remove the solenoid and disassemble it. I had a fastener come off in the solenoid on my M929. Easy fix, in my case. You can just change the solenoid if it has a lot of wear or burning on the contacts.

    I will have to tow 1031A - Anyone tried (what do you think) a tow dolly?

    I towed my M1028A2 home with the rear driveshaft removed (u-joint caps taped on and driveshaft tied up) using my '99 F350. Transmission was in park, transfercase in neutral. Make sure the front locking hubs really are disengaged (pull forward and check the front driveshaft for rotation) because...

    24 Volt systems

    Just make sure whoever tests the original alternators puts the tester ground lead on the negative ground post, not the case. Otherwise the alternator will not work.

    M1009 Passenger Alternator short to ground

    You can probably get it at Napa or other autoparts store. You may have to settle for a red one. The stud and insulator are separate items.

    Oh no. Another one with a problem with the 12V alternator 1 (driverside)

    Imagine that. Glad you got it figured out.

    Oh no. Another one with a problem with the 12V alternator 1 (driverside)

    You say you swap them from side to side and it works on the passenger side. How can the problem be in the alternator? If you followed my test procedure, The alternator would have worked on the driver's side assuming the B+ and B- wires were connected to the battery. Forget about the light for a...

    Oh no. Another one with a problem with the 12V alternator 1 (driverside)

    Make sure the ground is connected to the isolated ground terminal and not the case ground. Is the ground wire damaged, is it connected to the front battery? I know you said the alternator works if you put it on the passenger side, if that is true, then there is no ground to the alternator on the...
