Impulse bid in the neighboring state... i didn't recognize the city, but how far away could it be? Now I know... It's ~500 miles each way. Redtruck is down with an oil leak and a slipping clutch. So I loaded a spare and some tools and jumped in the gladiator yesterday afternoon and made a mad...

That's not unusual. There's a bunch of threads on the topic.

The Macks are generally considered rare and exotic and are more highly prized than their multifuel counterparts. If you and Dennis end up making a deal that involves driving it from AZ to MO, let me know....Maybe I could provide a ride there and a chase vehicle back.

Every time steel soldiers gets a new member wanting to get a truck, we all live vicariously through it...

@firefinder might know about MO's CDL requirements.

I'm 5 hrs from you. I've got an M936A2 I'm in the process of swapping wheels and tires on, and an M818 that needs a t-case. Neither of these are for sale, but they'd give you a side by side comparison of cab dimensions. The M818 isn't driveable. The M936A2 should be fine once I get wheels...

Regarding tire change tools... Here's the ideal set up - Military issue geared lug wrench. Large ratchet and 1.5" 6 point impact socket. Two 20 ton bottle jacks. Plenty of cribbing. The geared wrench breaks them loose. The large ratchet spins them off. You need two jacks because you need...

I was going to say "it isn't a total loss. Subtract the value of the punch from the cost of the re placement tire."

Well, you outbid me to get it... i hope it's seized. (I'm kidding! I simply ran out of risk tolerance. My guess says it went cheap because there were only four bidders total. One of them only threw the token opener at it. The next one was out at a nonserious ~$200. The only ones who "meant it"...

Having had deuces and 809series and 939series... And having a strong preference for manual transmissions myself... There's really a lot to be said for the bigger cab and full airbrakes on the 939s. Drive both, before taking the plunge. There's no urgency...

Four used XZLs 395/85 R 20 + One XML with 100% tread. $1100 takes all. Possible delivery between Ft Riley KS and St Louis MO around 04 JUL.

$440 each. Less than 30% of new cost. Located in Warrenton MO. Will deliver reasonable distances.

Same exact trailer with same exact springs. The only difference is the number on the data plate. The difference in load capacity is a mere contrived difference, not an actual one.

The farmers in this area use 5ton cargo trucks for silage trucks. I had one a while back who needed a couple of 14.00R20s urgently, so I allowed myself to be talked into pulling a couple off my M936A2. So my wrecker has been sitting on its outriggers for quite some time. 16.00s will lose...

Nice truck! Dare I ask what you towed it with?

So do you think you missed the pump rod? Why isn't the replacement mechanical lift pump working?

Keeps the truck running until the filter on the firewall clogs. Designed by geniouses, for idiots to operate....

Facing the control panel, it's a switch toward the right hand side down low. It s referenced in the start up procedure. Lift up on it and make it green. What it does is energize the main output lugs. Be absolutely sure you have phase and voltage properly selected, and that your plug is...

Forgive me for asking, but did you close the contactor on the control panel of the 802?

Agreed. I went through a similar issue last year with my M998. I was absolutely convinced it was the lift pump and so I replaced it, along with the fuel filter. That didn't fix it. Mine was the sock on the pickup in the tank. I don't think the sock is your issue. If it were, it'd run for a...
