I towed an M925 with an M923 the other day. With the air lines hooked up you couldn't tell the other truck was back there when braking. Things did tend to wiggle around a bit, but that is typical with using a towbar. Pretty tiring, plan on a shorter day.

Interesting idea. I have used them when I have a broken stud and don't want to pull the drum to replace it. Never thought they would work as a regular lug nut on a steel wheel. Photos?

Looks like a great dog!

Great ideas, thanks! This is stuff I wouldn't have thought of. Well most of them ;) "pull the engine!" "cut the frame!!!"

There are lots of threads on locking things up. What I want to do is disable my pretty new M925 which is soon to be left unattended down at the farm. I would like to make it as hard to steal as possible. What I have done so far: 1. Locking Door Handles 2. Keyed Battery Disconnect Switch...

Looks great so far! :beer:

Wow, great find! Start with a jump?

If it only weighs 25 lbs I don't see how they can pack enough CCAs in there to turn over a big truck motor. Significantly, they don't specify the Cold Crank Amps those two batteries are rated to supply. Unless I missed something. I would say, no.

You didn't say what the costs were in Michigan, but in Oregon what you want to do would cost $100 per month from the state for licensing, and about $100 per month for insurance. That's what I had to pay.

Call the main number on the Oregon DMV website. They are helpful and knowledgeable.

They are very bright. Not a good idea to stand in front of that truck in the dark when he turns them on. I have a breaker for you, they came yesterday.

Here's a definitive answer. Do an internet or yellow pages search on "speedometer repair" for your locality. There will be at least one local shop that can make up the adapter for you. Then measure your speed at 45 MPH indicated with a GPS and take that data with you when you go to the shop...

I run 35 PSI front and rear on my M923. Considering dropping that to 30 PSI. The lower pressure improves the ride and causes the tires to wear even.

Looks like a great dog. Was he shopping for a new owner out there?

What a great old truck! Thanks for the photos and story. It is fun to see an old war horse like that taken care of.

Of the 7 or 8 939 series trucks I have driven, they all downshift on their own with a big BANG! Except for one which is an M923a2 with an 8.3 Cummins. It shifts like a dream. The others all shift like they are trying intentionally to scare you. I have gotten into the habit of manually...

Here's a couple more.

Yes. I have one of those trucks. An M925 that is mostly tan but big sheets of the tan fly off when you drive it real fast. What a mess. It is going into the sand blast booth in September for a cleanup and return to original pretty green. As for your deuce, how about a paint job like this? My...

Of the 7 or so 939 series trucks I have driven [not very many, but more than one], all have the shift points set differently. Just like the ladies, they all handle a bit different. I too find that the downshift on hills is better managed manually, otherwise you are going to get a hard...

I am using Gringeltaube's font and am happy with it. I use a Xyron Wishblade stencil cutter. It does not do well on card stock, not made for heavy use. It installs as a printer. You make up your stencil in Word or similar word processor and send the stencil to it as a print job. I also cut...
