Aight folks, well hopefully I won't have 500,003,043 posts before the actual finish product is complete but I thought I would go ahead and show my next project since this will be a pull out and overhaul more than likely. ODO in the 915A1 says 133,000. Was a Kansas National Guard truck. At that...
Alright well my extra tank from Deuceman showed up this morning on truck freight. Was a nice pretty afternoon after it has done nothing but rain for the past few weeks. So I got to work installing a M915A1 fuel tank on my passengers side on my M923. It turned out to be pretty straight forward...
This was a simple upgrade being that the "Purest" air dryers from Haldex were a big seller last year but have all but since dried up in supplies with that I decided to upgrade to this unit.
If you have already upgraded to the Haldex Purest dryer that has the Triangle bolt pattern on it then...
Well ok sports fans. It has come that time to upgrade the transfer case cause I am bored and let's face it. We all like mods. So going to swap in a Oshkosh 55000 from a HEMTT. I acquired this unit from Silversate55 a few months back. Impulse buy and I didn't even have to wait for the EUC to...
Ok well some of you have to deal with your local code enforcement as in regards to the military hobby or our "junk". This is a spectrum as to how to approach it. Some will state. "No military trucks, equipment, or surplus shall be kept at a personal residence. Military surplus items can not be...
Aight so after a few months of reading and taking observations on my truck I decided to go ahead and install a small fuel cooler for my next trip I'm taking. I have noticed on my trips when I get stop to get fuel there is a lot of steam coming out of my tank. This is to be expected when the...
Going to be heading out of Cookeville in the next 2 weeks headed northbound. I can divert to Cincy if needed but planning on going up 65 to Indy then across to just northeast of Bloomington, IL.
I can bring tires along the way up and even MEP 802A generators.
Shipping on each 395 tire is $20...
Someone mentioned they had saw someone talking about having a fiberglass mold for a 939 series top. Anyone know who it may be?
Well my thought on this is that I had a local fiberglass company that said they would make me a hardtop for around $650 plus tax. Which is fairly reasonable in my...
I decided to go over to an aluminum radiator that had an intercooler and oil cooler attached to it. I removed the intercooler since i do not need it at this point.
I used one square foot of aluminum. 1/2" plate. Cut it in half and welded it together. So it was 1 inch thick overall. The...

Please PM me with any additions so it is not pages of parts and the link is hard to find. I am still working on this. I have about 4 pages of part numbers to run.
Mod can you please make a...
Ok, so most people complain about how gutless the NHC250 is even with a turbo. Even with 5 speed or Allison they still just have that gap between 3-4 and 4-5 and then there is the top speed in question based on what tires you have. Bigger tires may help you go faster but you do loose that low...
So I have had just a manual control valve on a switch to turn my fan clutch on and off when I want. I also have electric fans so it isn't really needed with an empty truck. The issue with the normal stutterstat I do not like is that it is generally a 185 setting. Meaning that any truck with...
So we all mostly got this email? Mine had 3 trucks listed but they were all the same trucks and not others i had bought.
EUC filed before removal of item. Little late.
This a hack? Or what?

I will be making a run from Memphis to Asheboro to Raleigh to Bragg to Lejune to Suprman's place in CT. Pretty much loaded going up, can handle some small items. Tires can be brought over and as far as Raleigh I believe but I would like for it to be Wheelspinners. Coming down from the...
I received a call from a guy that bought a transmission thru a fellow SS member about 6 months ago for an A3. I just found the transmission and took care of the shipping. I inspected the transmission and the tag on the transmission showed to be a 1545. The broken transmission was not out so...
Mods feel free to move this to an appropriate section if you believe it needs to be there. It is not any item I am selling but simply for print so that is makes logistics a lot easier for all of us rather than text wars or the need for 4 phone calls in 10mins.
For the next 4 months I will be in...
Will be departing the Massachusetts area around the 3rd of march headed back towards memphis or anywhere along the beating path. Will be empty with an empty 20ft trailer. Anything big or small.
