I know right? They could have just tossed the batteries into the ocean for the electric eels instead. The EPA finally gets a win from surplus. rofl

I run several of these machines daily in a commercial capacity. Yes they are a Dresser 530C. They will handle 10,000 lbs and freely move over most terrain. They can dead lift about 14,000-16,000 by static load before the rear comes off the ground. You will not be able to steer them over 14,000...

It only does this when slaved so there is indeed 24v going to the starter but only at that time, otherwise it cranks like a 6.5L should. I'll check the voltage converter again. The 24v gauge shows nothing unless I put the truck on a slave and it senses the 24v from the master vehicle so...

My truck cranks insanely fast when on a slave (Twice as fast as when on two fresh batteries). The 12v gauge pegs over 19v and my 24v gauge barely moves above the resting position. Thoughts?

Welcome to the site!

It's different for sure. The 7 ton AMG Prototype I have has the exact same dash too. All the knobs are mechanical too so I suspect they use the same cabling as the M939 does for the air intake, defrost, etc.

I want to know more about that! Also you should demonstrate your new crane by lifting it. :mrgreen:

What's the data plate on the differentials? I know the old M915 were 4.44 so I'm curious to know what else is out there that deep. It looks like a quality job.

Send photos and details for the airbag setup please. I run these all the time and they ride rough unloaded.

I managed to pick up this 5 Ton ESP (5TTR) truck today and it's unique. Cat 3126, 7 speed allison, M923A2 axles/cab/hood, and future 7 ton intake/exhaust system. Time hasn't been kind to it but all the oils are clean and tank is full of diesel. The hood, fenders, and doors are absolutely ravaged...

If you think of him let me know. I have one too I'm about to post on.

The dash cluster grounds through the cluster panel and bolts that secure it to the dash. Clean them all and reassemble. Test.

Not enough data known. The best we can conclude at the moment is the one in the photo.

I have it now. It's different than this one in many ways. It's much closer to an M939A3 than anything else. M923A2 + Cat 3126 + Allison. I'll know more later this week when it arrives. The elements haven't been nice to it.

I was skimming an old military vehicle publication circa 1997 and found an interesting truck. It appears there was consideration to remanufacture the 5 ton trucks like they did the M35A2 -> M35A3 ESP (Extended Service Program). The blurb says it has the same Cat 3116 and Allison 1545 as the...

I could vary by location. At LZ Phantom (Formerly Ft Hood) everything with red tape was "divested" and property of GP. I remember when they used the white window markers but they were not easily recognizable and some items got "lost in the sauce".

Tape means they're tagged for GP. Pretty common unofficial method used on base. Primarily look for body damage and rust. They're hardy trailers and beyond a wheel bearing problem you're pretty good towing it home. I've had 60+ of them and only 1 had an issue that I couldn't tow it some safely...

It appears to be throttle based. Turn in the screw on the injection pump shutoff solenoid to eliminate the electrical portion of the problem. Report back if any changes.

I woke this one up yesterday and it must have a story to share. Data plate shows M942 W/W Chassis, Truck. So it was special purposed, has the upgraded 100 amp alternator, winch, and just the odd designation of "W/W" which they didn't normally do for the M939 series truck. What were you??

It's been hinted at that there was some "tomfoolery" on both sides including GL suing after the contract awarding, but the thing that sold Uncle Sam most on the original two contracts (basically rolling stock & non-rolling stock to keep it simple) was the % of return to Uncle Sam. For the...
