It is supposed to spin all the time on the M939 and M939A1. The difference is that it spins slowly and can be stopped (with a 2x4). When it actually engages it makes a load noise that hurts your ear if you are close to it. It is a distinct sound that can be heard when you are driving and it...

I have some nice tires already mounted on 16" rims that are made for dually application. Power King 8.00R16 tires. I got a total of 9. 5 are new and 4 are 90%.

I know reverse polarity happens in NiCD batteries when you run them down too much. It happened to me in the past. That was because we were told to discharge the batteries totally before recharging. That was bad advise by the tool manufacturers. Once the battery reverses polarity it will...

Mine all got replaced when I did the lift to the truck. Mine is a Southern Truck so no road salts to be concerned with. There are some pluses to living below the snow belt (rust belt)

If you got 2 dead batteries out of 4, why not just use the 2 good batteries in series for 24 volts. We have had many members here testify that they only need 2 batteries in their 5 ton truck to run them.

I measured and drilled the flat stock I painted yesterday. i got a chance to use the reconditioned magnetic drill press I bought a few months back. Wow! That drill press drilled through the 3/8" stock like butter! I wish I had bought one years ago! The annular cutters are very aggressive in...

I appreciate your concern and bringing it to my attention. I was an electrical contractor in the past so I am aware of the necessity for proper grounding. I will be adding several grounding points from the generator chassis to the trailer and to copper ground rods. I am also thinking of...

Thanks to my friend Dug (Trailboss) I got a nice MEP-002A 5KW generator to install on the trailer. It has 2440 hours on it and was reset at Ft. Hood in 2007. Here are some pictures of the generator: So far all I had to do on it was replace all the Ty-wraps that were dry-rotted with new...

I am sure the lawyers will be coming out of the woodwork to try to get the case.

I made up a stencil with a wolf's head to paint on the doors of the truck. I used stencil adhesive to help hold the stencil to the metal while I sprayed the brown CARC substitute paint. Got nice sharp line with now overspray!

Finally got some more work done to the truck. With the help of my friend Allen I managed to upgrade the alternator to a Leese Neville 100 AMP 24 volt alternator.

You weren't there? I didn't notice. :-P Actually we did talk about you. We were reminiscing about the Hobbit shelters you used to build for the rally. :grd: Why was the sailor in the brig? He took a dump on the POOP Deck. :recovry4x4:

I had an awesome time Friday and Saturday. The weather was perfect. I enjoyed the chats and checking out all the member's rides. Some very impressive and ingenuitive work. Thank you Tim and Pam for your hospitality and for putting up with me. The food was great this year! (Tim cooked) He...

I will be bringing some wrecker vise mounting plates. Also bringing sample of the underbed truck boxes and Kipper Mechanic's tool kits. I also have 1 driver's side door for M35 and 5 ton trucks in very good condition. I also have 9.00-20 and 11.00-20 NDT NOS tires. I have 9.00-16 Superlugs...

What are you asking for the seat?

Are you sure it's not the temperature sending unit? Had that happen on my M931. Gauge would show it hot but fan did not kick on and IR gun read no signs of overheating. Yes the fan does engage properly. I road tested it. Usually comes on after climbing a long slope, then shuts off after a...

I believe one of the fluids recommended was trannny fluid.

I have an update to the setup we were originally discussing. My friend Allen came across (2) 100AMP 28 Volt Leece-Neville alternators at $60 each. Could not resist getting one at that price! We had them both tested at an alternator shop. Both tested good. My friend Allen installed one on...

I am interested in the 5KW MEP 002A generator.
