You are all correct. I was so tired I just wasn't thinking. it was totally dead in the morning. We swapped out two batteries and she fired up immediatly. Then I moved this piece of cardboard on the dash and Behold! All kinds of info printed on the dash panel. Thanks for the help though. It...

I have power when I turn the battery switch on and the start switch is on run. When I pull up the run/start switch to the start position, nothing. Not even a click. It is in neutral and brake is set and buzzing. It ran for 4 hours, turned it off and immediately tried o start it. I am now...

The auction went into extension four times but I won it. I got it at, right about, the average selling price for this type of truck. Now comes the long drive there and back. I have a co-driver and someone else who is good with working on vehicles. I hope we don't need the experience but I am...

Yep, Floridianson, I have read that thread and many others to include the links below that thread. Some of the videos are just down right cool. However, none of those threads, or others that I have found, cover the multifuel to M934 question. At least not to my limited knowledge. The kit I...

Will the 5 Ton Multi-fuel fording kit fit the M939 series trucks? Specifically, the M934A2. If not, do you think it would be that hard to make it fit? I have never even seen a vehicle with a fording kit while in the military so I have no experience with them. However, I do have a lot of...

Thank you much. I thought it was 1/2" but couldn't find it again and wanted to be sure before I ordered it.

Thanks Juan. I had the glad hand and air hose size and cant find it now. It the glad hand 1/2" orifice and 3/8' hose? Or are both 1/2"? I cant remember when I saw this and cant find it again. Sooooo, much stuff to get and remember. It will stick in my head in time.

Oh, I am going to need four of those batteries correct? The TM showed four but I have seen people discussing only two in the forums. Maybe that was a different truck. So, I ask question just to be sure. I have a NAPA close by and will order the batteries from them. Along with everything...

Wow, the batteries are expensive. I figured it would be but it is different seeing it. I didn't know running on bad batteries would fry the alt but I figured it might not be a good idea, especially for a 1100 mile trip. Thanks for the grease gun reminder. I have one and will take a few...

Excellent, thank you guys. I am going to call Idaho DMV on Tuesday and see what I need to do to legally drive the M934 from Minnesota to Idaho. I am hoping a simple trip permit will cover it.

m715Mike, I agree. The risk can be mitigated but not eliminated. Since I have the freedom to take my time on the trip, I think I am going to go recover it myself. I will take Gregs number with me just in case things go terribly wrong. I don't think they will though. They did a good job of...

Yep, I downloaded that cross reference sheet. Thanks for the link though. What I didn't find on the cross reference sheet (maybe I am missing it) was the NAPA part number for replacement batteries. Anyone have those? The truck inspection sheet said it started with a jump but would not start...

Ah, that is exactly what I was looking for. What someone else got theirs listed as. Do you have yours registered as Commercial or RV or ??? I am hoping to get it listed as a Class A RV. Then I am going to use the military plate option for less $$$ over time on renewals. I just found out...

Thanks much!

I know the truck info says BMY, but when I look up BMY on Google all I find is it a division of Harsco corp. When I go to register it, I would like to be able to put down who made it rather than say it is a surplus military vehicle. What does BMY stand for...or...what company would the 1992...

So far the lowest price I have gotten for shipping is between $3300 and $3800 depending upon who is coming this way at the time and a few other issues. If I do this on my own the diesel will run about $750, the car/gas there about $275 for one way rental, truck pieces and parts to take with me...

I have read that, thank you. I was not trying to discuss insurance per say but talk out what I need to do in preparation for rescuing my "possible" new truck and see if I am missing anything from those who have done this before. Personal experience helps tremendously. Thank you to all that...

I called Greg. Yes, he had a much better price. If I get the M934 for a low price I will use his services. If I have to pay close to max allowed, I will go pick it up and hope for the best on the way home. I Will take the extras that everyone suggested if I go pick it up though. What...

Thank you both for the info. I will get the parts suggested together AND give a call to Greg. Thanks much! If there is anything else please feel free to provide input. This is brand new to me so I don't know much about these trucks. I work on vehicles/engines all the time but never on one...

I have the money to buy an M934a1 van but the shipping to here is $4300 on average. The inspection report has all 3 stars on it, the pics look good and it says runs with jump. The other M934 has a video with sound of the engine running and shows a little bit of vapor blow-by so it seems they...
