Do they have NAPA in Belgium? Or any of the other large US auto parts chains like CARQUEST, PEP BOYS, ADVANCE AUTO PARTS, etc.? If they do, I would think they should have the filters. Stick with good brand name lubricants. For oil, go with 15W40. For the gear lube (t-case and axles), use...

If the past is any indication of the future, they will probably be trickling out for another decade. It is almost as if Uncle Sam has no idea where everything is. I have seen M123 tractors come out in the last 5-8 years when they were supposed to be out of inventory in the 90s. Also, I saw...

After talking to guys who had to give up their M114s because they bought they from museums or other organizations that had gotten them without release paperwork, I'd suggest steering clear of it. Sure, it is a dream vehicle (I share the same dream!), but without paperwork, you'll always be...

JUANPRADO, you are in LA and it is b**** hot much of the year...and fairly mild the rest, right? :-) Does it really get cold enough to warrant a heater? Just curious. Jason Frisch (HALFTRACK), also located in Metairie, removes his heaters as soon as he gets a truck for this reason. I'd check...

I would look into the problem a bit further to determine where the coolant went.

Well, I applaud your ingenuity and I am happy you are home safe. I can't wait to hear the rest of the story.

I'll second what DOGHEAD said. I, too, have GULFWAY insurance and I don't think they insure our trucks to haul trailers. Be careful, and double check that. If you get into a jam, it would suck to find out then that you are not insured.

I am sorry, but I no longer have the truck.

I am curious about the type of trailer you used.

You probably did this, but, if not, I suggest filling the filter with fuel before you put it on.

That looks like CARC to me. In fact, I have never heard of a military truck coming out without CARC in recent years (at least trucks that were in recent service...I suppose there could be some exceptions). I would figure it is CARC and take the appropriate protections.

The older M809 series filter was considered an upgrade if you can believe it! These trucks originally came with just the spin on filter. Most were then upgraded to include a small in-line filter. I have not found any documentation for this, but I believe they found that the little in-line...

Yes, the A1 and the A2 look almost the same. There are outward differences, however, most notably the A2s have four front lifting shackles, CTIS on the rims, and the bottom of the differential housings are flat (rounded on A1s). There are confusing things, though: I have seen a few rebuilt...

I have never heard of an M939A2 having lockers. The Army did not use lockers, and the USMC never used the A2s. The Navy did and they normally followed the USMC with lockers on earlier vehicles, but a USN Seabees truck that I had did NOT have lockers. I was hoping, though!

I am sure you are correct because I don't have any personal knowledge to the contrary, but I thought I read on this list that some deuces that came out somewhere (maybe HI) that were so equipped were used for prisoner transport. I believed it at the time because I had no reason not to, but that...

As far as I have been able to tell, the USMC never used the M939A2s, but the USN did. Perhaps, they rebuild trucks for the Navy. The Navy Seabees, in particular, had a number of them. I once had a Seabees M925A2.

Yes, Lane Young in Michigan purchased an M149A2 for this same purpose. I am drawing a blank right now on his screen name. Perhaps, someone from Michigan will chime in. If I think of his screen name, I'll post again. If you don't have any luck, PM me and I'll give you his phone number.

Yup, I've seen such trucks. I have never seen such an M915, but I've seen M915A1s so equipped. I bid on a few of them that came out of WI.

I bet you'll be safe. That is in the right range at the very least.

The M939A2s were made from 1989 through 1992 so that should limit it some. I have seen a few A2s listed as 88s, but I don't think that is correct from the people I have spoken to. I know the guy who bought out BMY after the A2 run and he has all of the records. While I will try to help find...
