Truck starts and runs solid. But when I let off the throttle to turn a corner or such, the engine rpm drops below idle and sometimes dies on me. Not a fun time when turning so I generally keep the throttle pressed a bit. I looked through the forum but only found the this thread that says the...

Like I mentioned before, we have an account with McMaster and they do a great job. They have slipped a bit because now you don't know the shipping costs and delivery until after you 'pay'. I've realized for small, lightweight items (gaskets, o-rings, etc.), it's easier and cheaper to not use...

That is really good info I did not know. Luckily I bought the Titan ones- thanks!

Nice try but I recommend using the search function before posting a query (as was the advice given to me here). Wes has already done an amazing job of cross-listing most commercially available parts for the M939s in the old 5-ton forum (Mods- please move it and other relevant stickies to the...

Some of you are taking this request waaaaaay too extreme. I specially was asking for a source of commercially available 5/8-18 flange nuts....not necessary the government versions with NSN's. A lot of us ask for similar sources on o-rings, oils, greases, tire valve stems, filters, commercial...

Dang- I even searched eBay and didn’t see those. Thanks Wes!

Looks like those are the distorted version where they slightly compress them to make them out of round enough to become self-locking. Are the OEM version on the LMTV/FMTV like this? Not that it matters...just really really curious what the standard issue was. I'll call them in the morning- thanks

Looking for a source of quality flange nuts for studs that LMTV wheels together. Need at least 60 but will take a hundred since 20 per wheel. Any recommendations?

Amazon has the 475lb torque sticks for -$80. Same range as the Klutch multiplier Wes shows in his video.

Second on the above. Supporting our own is a good thing. On the flip side, I purchased two new M939 mufflers off Ebay for $90 each shipped to the front door in 3 days.

Yup- good idea. For the cost of the torque stick or decent breaker bar, I can buy a torque multiplier and keep it in the truck. Nice video for it too. And I generally coat all lugs and other high torque items with a copper anti-seize as you mention. A little bit of it goes a long way.

Forgot to add two items: First, if you want a 'better' grade of battery, go with industrial series (for rigs and heavy equipment like dozers) as they are built to withstand lots of vibration. The internals for industrials are built heavier than than the standard Costco, Walmart, Autozone, etc...

I picked up two group 65's from Costco for $110 each and they crank my M923 just fine. Costco batts are Interstates and have a 3 year no questions asked replacement warranty. Unless you plan to go deep in the boondocks or move to the frigid north (ie- anything above Waco in my opinion), two...

I'm slowly building my pile of tools and items to super single out my M923 with 16.00r20's. I have all the tires and wheels but still need the shoulder lug nuts for the front HEMTT wheels, new o-rings and air stems for regular combat wheels for the rear axles. I tried to breakdown a couple...

Charlesmann- You could to mount the upper elbow on the up-pipe like a muffler delete in a tempary fashion just to see what the sound is like. But I'm also sure your A2 will sound much different than my old school M923. Wes- If you say there is no alternative, there is NO alternative. Thanks

Aaahhh- that's explains why I didn't find much on my search as I was using 'muffler gasket' versus 'exhaust gasket'. Thanks for the link! Memphis only shows one gasket for bottom side that connects with the flex hose. Is there also one on top? And since I have two trucks who need...

I'm replacing my muffler on the M923 with NHC250 (I think same muffler regardless of engine?). It's the typical rusted out around the bottom and a safety hazard. Anyone know a civilian part number for the gaskets? Or a way to use some other sealer besides the OEM gasket?

Singling out my M923 to 1600r20's. I have two HEMMT wheels for the front and the two piece combat wheels for the rears. Latest 'right' answer I saw was to buy the shouldered lugs (pic attached) on the fronts for the HEMMT wheels and then re-use the original front lug nuts for the rear combat...

btw- what is the hydraulic set up for a M929? I heard the hydraulics for a M925 (or any other M939's with winch) is too low pressure to operate the hoist on the M929 so curious about the system. And really curious then how the M930 (dump w/winch) is set up on the hydraulics. I know the...
