15W40 oil. The brand is up to you. I buy whatever good name brand is on sale, but, all things being equal, I like Rotella. I have used Valvoline, Delvac, Rotella, and others. Regarding antifreeze, make sure it is rated for a diesel...cavitation (little bubbles forming to erode the metal) is...

Another member on here...I'll let him chime in if he wants...HAD trouble with a branch office. But, he was eventually able to get it squared away. I don't know the details, but I believe he said it had to do with the off-road only issue.

I think he meant M939 series trucks. I actually would prefer the M939 series trucks off road, specifically the A1s or A2s. The 1400s, with the air shift front axle, would be preferable and I can't think of a situation where that would not be the case.

I don't have my manual in front of me, but I believe it is 80W90 gear oil in both. That is what I use in the M44, M809, and M939 series trucks.

There was a kit made for the M915A2 Freightliner tractor (they did not have AC) that could be adapted. I had one, but I no longer have it. ZEBEDEE in upstate NY now owns it. Perhaps, you could contact him, or he may respond, so you could get more information on it. Or, someone else may have...

Great save!

By the way, you probably realized this, but I made a mistake...I meant FLD120, not FL120. :)

That truck is sweet, Derrick! CUCVFAN also has an LSSV. I think he'll also know the paint color. Good luck with it, and great score! I love the crew cab!

I'd love to see pics of your truck if it is an FL80.

Derrick, do you mean FL120? The M916A1, M916A2, and M916A3 are all FL120s. I did a Google search on FL80, and I have never seen a military truck of this model. That doesn't mean they don't exist. Perhaps, you have something I have never seen! :) If it is a modern truck, and by the sound of...

Congrats! I think that truck looks fairly straight. Let us know if you when you get it running! Good luck!

I hate to say it, but I kind of agree. I have rarely gotten good use out of my 6TLs. I am sure a lot of it has to do with how most of us use these trucks (i.e., they tend to sit for extended periods of time). However, I drive my M925A2 a good amount and start it regularly...every month for...

Very nice. I think I remember another thread where you discussed this, no? I don't remember if you said this...why six batteries? Four were not enough cranking amps? Six at 780 or so CCAs seems like quite a bit...but I am sure you have your reasons. Curious about this.

I'm a Goodyear MV/T fan based upon looks, admittedly. I have the Michelins on my truck, though, because that is what it came with.

Check out Walmart 24Fs for around $93 each. They generally fit into the stock location on an M939 series truck (I recognize this thread is about FMTVS...but I'd check them out). They are not a perfect match by any stretch, but they fit width-wise...they are just short length-wise. Still the...

I had an M1028A2 dually that I bought from a fellow member that had a decent rubber pad on the pedal that did not look replaced. Who really knows, though. Still, I believed the mileage...93,000 showing...based upon everything else about the truck. The engine was clean, the seat showed no wear...

I'm going with 147,000 miles. It's a guess, but check out the brake pedal. It looks like the rubber is worn through. I have a 1997 Chevy diesel crew cab that has 83,000 miles, and the pedal doesn't look anywhere near as worn as the one in the picture. The rust, in and of itself, does not say...

You can usually hear it when the fan comes on.

Welcome! Looking good! I am originally from Bethpage.

The alternator pully is a tough one to find. I got one from John Murray from TNJ Murray in Dover, DE. When I got one (several years ago), John told me that he only had one more. Perhaps, he got more or maybe he never sold that one. It is worth a try.
