I have a quick question. Are these two engines anywhere near the same ballpark in regards to horsepower and torque output? I know what is in the manuals but can they be tweaked reliably to perform basically the same?

I know I will get flamed for posting this but if your air dryer lets you down on your M939 series truck, you are done!!! I drove my M923 a few days ago without issue, tonight, it will not build air. I started it up, heard the compressor doing its job and boom, expello valve blew off like...

I made it down to Tampa in my Trans Am. I can haul something small across the Georgia line. In less than a month, I make the same trip but in a Tahoe. If you have any needs, I would be happy to help. If you have a large need, I can bring my M923 5 tont on the next trip. Any item taken will...

I lost a thimble today that was somewhat holding my 14R20 on. Thank Goodness the other 9 were still somewhat tight, well very tight. I then did a loadout today using my truck and another member on here called out CSM Davis in a conversation saying he went up one side and down another as to why...

I have an MK 48/14 combo at my house that I attempted to take it its owners house today. The engine coolant temp gauge reads a steady 220 once warmed up and running down the road. The transmission oil temp gauge reads around 230 and creeps up to roughly 270 before I finally lose my nerve and...

I've searched around a little and have not found a solution. I now have the correct parts to mount an A2 carrier on my cargo truck but it doesn't fit. I understand that the A1 and A2 trucks are about 3 inches longer and I think I know where that space comes from. My concern is that simply, it...

I've searched and not found what I'm looking for so far. I'd like to add air conditioning to my M923 with the 855 Cummins engine. I'm sure I'll use a kit from a HMMWV or MTVR as there are some in the classifieds but I'm curious as to the availability of brackets to mount the compressor to the...

Thanks to member Al Harvey, I purchased a set of uprights at the GA Rally this past year. I finally saved up enough for a cover. Now I just need to touch up paint slightly and get some rubber bungee straps to hold the rear outriggers in the stowed position. Getting there slowly but surely!

I love the search function of this site but I really love the ideas that come from posting. Bottom Line Up Front, I need to get some tires for the M1028. I have got to keep the stock skinny rims so that the truck keeps the period correct look. I'm open to a slightly taller wider tire than the...

An older gentlemen at work keeps telling me my truck has "wet bearings" in my 5 ton. I've explained to him a few times that they are only "wet" if the outer seal has failed and the inner doesn't do much to keep oil off the brakes. He explained to me that there is a way around the Army's design...

I searched and didn't find anything. I've had quite a few NHC 250 powered trucks in my yard but never owned one until now. I took it for a ride around the block today but it took about 30 seconds of cranking to start it. Throttle was responsive as normal once the engine was running so I'm...

Folks, Thankfully it is that time of year again. I've got to turn in my entry for the Leesburg, GA, Spirit of Christmas Parade by the 15th of November. The event is for the 5th of December and so far I've got 4 M35A2's and an M1028. I might get lucky and get a detail of National Guardsmen...

I've got some questions to an electrical guru. My M1028 will not start as the engine turns over very slowly. Known. 1. Both batteries are good to the best of my knowledge. Both show an open circuit voltage while connected to the truck of 12.7 volts. I hooked my "smart" charger to them and...

We've recently within the past few years gotten FMTV's. I have done tons of work on them but there is one thing that I do not understand. Why do they have brake reservoirs and an air over hydraulic booster tucked between the step and the front bumper on each side? My new Wrecker even has it...

It's that time of year again. I've got to turn my entry in for the Leesburg Christmas Parade which will take place on the 6th of December. I got the ugly news that I cannot take my National Guard M1089A1P2 Wrecker again as they got some guidance from higher that their trucks are no longer...

A friend of mine has a truck that develops an issue during a long 60 plus mile drive. The brake pedal will get hard to the point that you cannot press on the brake pedal. The truck has a new master cylinder, new short airpack, fresh DOT 5 in the lines, new wheel cylinder's all the way around...

I've had a M105A2 for a few years now. When I got it, the brake hoses and surge tank were not on the trailer. Since I only pull it with the Deuce, I figured I didn't need them. I recently decided to fix the brakes. I simply ran a line from the actuator / master cylinder to the trucks service...

The cabs look about the same and it should be a pretty easy swap. I see some minor differences between the two and have confirmed with Clinto and PaTracy my concerns. It looks like I'll have to beat a spot welded plate off of the hole for the clutch pedal, cut out the plug installed where the...

Title more or less say's it all. I searched but my primary computer crashed and I can't download anything on a chromebook. My starter is busted up due to the inboard motor bolt snapping. Now the starter is off the truck, we removed the bad bolt but the solenoid is broken away from the nose...

Did the military ever have a flatbed trailer hauled behind a Deuce with a lunette ring? I've been talked out of buying a M931 or M932 A ? more than once by my boss. I can get a 5 ton but I'm not allowed to have 3 trucks and I don't want to sell my Deuce. It's in pretty good shape but Clinto...
