    M925 vs M35A3 speeds?

    Thanks for the info. The reason we build M35A2's and A3' is they are obviously smaller which make them more maneuverable in the woods. I'll look for a 939 but they are hard to find through my channels. What are other differences between the 939 and 925? And the 923 and 925 are the same...

    M925 vs M35A3 speeds?

    Hi guys, We currently build M35A2 and A3's into fire trucks putting 900 gallons of water on them. I am thinking about getting a few M925A1 NSN 2320-01-206-4088 to use as wildland fire trucks, mostly as water tenders with 1500-2000 gallon tanks. I like the fact they are automatics and power...

    M35A2 or M35A3? Pro's and Cons of each

    I haven't found it hard to find A3 parts. Which parts can't you find? The CTIS sucks- remove it. It's easy to do. I found the A3's are a lot faster off the line, I would rather have that then a higher top speed(A2). By the time you add air assist steering, a muffler if you like, super...

    M928a2 specs?

    Thanks guys, that's what I needed to know. I am getting 2 of these trucks to play with for a wildland fire truck fabrication. They are a little big but might work for water tenders. Matt

    M928a2 specs?

    Hi, I searched the threads and can't find what I am looking for. Do all M928A2's have super singles, auto trans, cummins, air brakes? Thnx

    Elec Brakes

    You can keep your present lunette, but why? What's the lunette?

    Elec Brakes

    Found it, about $700 list price. Expensive, but by the time I convert it to electric brakes I won't be far from $700... Replacing backing plates(possibly axles if they don't make a backing plate for these axles), wiring, etc. hmmmm

    Elec Brakes

    I like the idea of using the electric-hydraulic system. I have had bad experiences with the surge brakes on my friends boat- the brakes drag, backing is a pain, etc. Seems simple using the electric-hydraulic, I can keep my hydraulic drum brakes and install the electric-hydraulic unit. Do i...

    Electrical problem - from battery to starter buton

    Buck, Buy a Digital-Volt-Ohm-Meter and check voltage on the smaller wire on the starter solenoid while someone attempts to crank the engine over. Do you have 24 volts? Yes- Check your grounds on the starter-if they are good, you got a bad "new" starter No- Could be a bad starter relay...

    High or low sulfur????

    On older diesel engines, 2007 and earlier, buy what ever is the least expensive. BUT buy a quality diesel fuel lubricant like BG Products and add it to your fuel tank at every fill. As most of you stated, the ultra low sulfur diesel does not have the lubricant older diesel engines need...

    Elec Brakes

    I have got a 2 axle 8000 GVWR military trailer(don't know the model). It had a Deutz engine driven air compressor mounted to it. I want to use it for a flatbed, car hauler, etc. What are you guys doing about trailer brakes? I think the best option is to convert it to electric brakes. It has...

    M35A3 Owners unite

    Where's the external transmission filter located? Is it a spin on? I have replaced the internal(pan) filter. Thnx

    not charging

    Yes the small wire attached to the alternator's internal regulator receives it voltage from the rotary switch on the dash. Either the switch is bad, disconnected or you have other wiring issues. FYI- shorted to ground means it has voltage and is touching any ground on the vehicle. If it...

    not charging

    Internal or external alternator regulator? Is there a large box looking thing on the drivers side firewall(external)? If the regulator is internal, the small wire on the alternator must have 24v. If it has 0v the rotary switch on the dash is bad/unplugged/etc.
