    IronPlanet.com Selling Military Rolling Stock SOON!

    Perhaps they should file a claim.

    Trying M813s and M939s at Tractor pulls

    Only pull with what you can afford to fix, that way you won't be disappointed when and if it breaks.

    Bobbing complete. Injector?

    Possibly sucking air in one of the fuel lines or fuel filter housing (gasket/top square washer). Pressurize the fuel tank with just a few pounds of pressure and check for leaks.

    Possibly No More Trucks from DLA

    I noticed that all of the M1070 HET's are now gone from GL that were there yesterday.

    M923A2 oil pressure

    Test it with a manual gauge, I thought several of my A2's with the 8.3 had low oil pressure at warm idle until I checked the oil pressure with a manual test gauge.

    M925A2 Delco Style Alternator

    The alternator worked fine with no issues for about a year and half, then I sold the truck. I never hooked anything up to the "R" terminal, originally I had planned to wire it to a cigarette lighter socket to charge phones or GPS usage. Spider Marine was very good to deal with when I had bought...

    I want to take off the CTIS on my newly purchased 1990 M923A2

    The outer holes in the axles for the air fill lines on the CTIS were the same size as hydraulic fittings with straight threads (on my truck), not tapered pipe threads. Go to a place that sells hydraulic hoses and fittings and buy the hydraulic plug fittings with a gasket to cap off the axle...

    M939a2 intermittent starting problem

    Sounds like the PCB (power control box) might be acting up. Sometimes you can tap them with a hammer with the master switch on and they will make contact and start working for a while.

    My new M923 A1

    I had the fuel fired heater in one of my 925A2's, it was almost too hot. The TM's recommend using heat before defrost to prevent cracking the windsheilds.

    5 ton fuel tank selector valve cleaning/rebuild

    Make sure that your manual fuel shut off is opened all the way too.

    5 ton fuel tank selector valve cleaning/rebuild

    On one of the trucks I have now, it has a Schrader valve on top of the fuel filter instead of a petcock valve. It works well to bleed the air out when you pressure the fuel tank with about 5# of air pressure after a filter change out. You can also pressure up the fuel tank to find suspect air...

    5 ton fuel tank selector valve cleaning/rebuild

    On the M818, you can loosen the brass head on the selector valve after the handle is removed and then unscrew it the rest of the way after you drop it down. Not sure if the M931 valve is identical or not. I took the valve all the way out because my hoses were all in bad shape and I wanted to...

    Differences between M923A2 and M925A2

    GL is good at rearranging numbers.

    Differences between M923A2 and M925A2

    Sounds like a misprint, although I've heard of several M923 trucks equipped with hydraulics and a PTO. Or else someone has done some major mods or switched data plates.

    M989A1 Trailer Brake Hose Length?

    M989A1 Recovery FYI, Trailer recovery last Wednesday went fine from Lansing to south of Chicago. At 11K empty weight, you know it's behind you; however these trailers do pull good. It was nice to have the right length air brake hose to replace the one that was missing. Thankfully we missed...

    M989A1 Trailer Brake Hose Length?

    Could someone with a M989A1 trailer tell me the length of the service/emergency brake hoses. I believe that they're 3/8" hose with a 1/4" adapter that goes into the trailer. I'm picking a trailer up that's missing one hose in the pictures. The TM manual showed the hoses; but I didn't see any...
