I recent bit the bullet and got all my seals and hoses replaced. The one seal I could not source at all is the wiper seal to keep the debris out of the cylinder. I took it to my local hydraulic specialist who services everything big and small and they didn't have anything for it nor could they...
Can confirm NDT's post. My m915a1 got 6.5 mpg bobtailing at 60 mph and 4.5 mpg flat towing a 5 ton at 55 mph. I have since stepped up to 395s on it but have not taken it for a long enough drive to get accurate mileage. The mileage is the mileage on these beasts.
If your state accepts the sf-97 then go with that. Some states require a title for these MV's and nothing less so that's where the Florida title comes in.
I'm running 395s on my 915a1 and they are excellent tires, I recommend them. I will try to get a height measurement for you today if I can break away from work.
Turned a non-runner into a runner. Had an 06 RRAD rebuild M923A2 with 41 miles since rebuild and it ran like crap, lots of white smoke but new IP. Turns out the timing was 360 off and now it runs like a beast, even turned the fuel up a little. Saved another one.:jumpin:
I've been averaging 6-8 weeks to just get the SF-97 with no EUC. I touch base with the titling department weekly and they said they have 600 requests backlogged as of this past week. This bottleneck costs us, the buyers, money from late fees and etc when we file it for the title.
I'll do 63-66 on the flatways with my M936A2. She's a little slow on the getup-n-go but the pump is stock if not under tuned..it did come from a hospital unit with only 200 miles since rebuild so I doubt they did much of anything with it.

Read-read-read! Everything you need to know about your truck and to answer your questions in great detail. :clinto: If the Army did one thing right it's these TM's.
Double check the brakes as they are a...
Update:
I bypassed the PCB box with jumper wires and still nothing from the starter. I'm having a shop take it out and see what the deal is, hopefully just a bad unit. I'm fearful of the engine being locked up but even if so the starter would try to do something.
Howdy and congrats on the truck. I had an M52A1 a few years back and she was a tough old truck. The LDS is very similar to the LDT in deuce and a halfs so most parts are cross compatible. Check the parts reference sticky on the site for more info. There's a lot of conversation about going to...
The location you are thinking of does have cheaper trucks as of late but you must do your own inspection work from the video/pics and take a gamble. So far I've noticed most trucks from that place were turned in for rebuild or rustproofing and have sat a long time. I have 6 sitting in my yard...
I'm having two trucks do this to me currently, one has power to the gauges and the other doesn't. I installed a known good box to simplify the situation but still no-start. I've tried the percussion maintenance, cleaned the contacts, and checked voltages to the bendix and starter it self..all a...
I do it for the "lulz". My m1028 from Ft. Hood had just over 2K miles on it but it was a rebuilt unit that was given to a TSC (test support contractor) for on base use. Telling people you own a 84' chevy with 2K miles makes their head spin haha!
