I would like to add that there almost always are reasons why a motor gets pulled. Very infrequently are good motors swapped out for no reason. They almost always have problems like low oil pressure, or other signs of wear. I did hear that they swapped out a lot of perfectly good stuff (e.g...

While the Michelin XLs LOOK to be directional tires, Michelin asserts that they are non-directional. I usually like to mount my tires all in the "correct" direction. However, I was told by a guy in the military that they often do this purposely so your average enemy soldier won't have any idea...

He did not tell me. I expect he paid about $2-2.50/mile. This is what I have paid recently.

The truck was shipped. I know this because he told me. Sheldon, sweet looking truck.

Using reverse in low range can grenade the transfer case. There is a warning about this on the data plate in front of the steering wheel. I have even had trucks with cards hanging near the steering wheel warning the operator about this.

I just deleted my post since it quoted the post in question. Thanks CLINTO!

Do you rely on the VIN # listed in the auction info? I never apply for a title until I have the truck in front of me and I can personally verify the titling information. I have not had any title mistakes, but I'd complain if THEY made a mistake and they tried to charge me to fix their error...

Yeah, but did the owner's manual or, as in this case, a sticker or data plate indicate that this would happen with your Autocar? If it did, that might be evidence that it was designed this way. Why? I have no idea. It could be for the reasons you mention. Or, it could be for some other reason...

It is not just that it is slow going in low range reverse. It actually means that you might damage your transfer case if you use low range reverse. I have even heard of transfer cases cracking! The data plate with the max and min speeds (directly in front of the steering wheel) actually says...

I took a look at a sticker on the door of my recently rebuilt M927A1 and it reads: Air cleaner restriction gauge At 1600 engine RPM, red indicator must rise at least to green line. When red indicator is latched to top at any speed, filter service is required. I have owned many M939 series...

Make sure the hydraulic fluid is topped off, too. Still, it is probably a linkage issue as others have stated.

I have never heard that the Army made any attempt to upgrade M939A0 series trucks to A1. If they would have done this to the M939 series trucks, they would have done it with the M809 series trucks in inventory, too. The USMC did, but I don't believe the Army did. A particular unit may have...

I have an NOS M939 radio mount kit, but I have not even pulled it out to look at it so I don't know how it mounts. Come to think of it, I don't actually have it in my possession, as a fellow SteelSoldier brought it from Aberdeen last year and still has it. If I EVER get over to pick it up...

I am not sure if the valves are the same, but they probably are. Even if they are not, I am sure you could adapt the valve from the earlier M936 since the controls for the M936, M936A1 and M936A2 are all located in the same location.

I paid $125/tire for new tires about a year ago. I got them from Army Jeep Parts in PA.

I think CUCVFAN has them. Check with him.

There is no such thing as an M929 w/w. An M929 w/w would be an M930. Very nice tractor!

I just took my truck to Allison and, while they tried to push their synthetic, they also said that DexIII was fine. That is what I went with. By the way, the truck had 10W oil in it when I got it. it will take multiple fluid swaps to get almost all of the 10W out.

Nope. No one ever responded. I ended up finding the parts in various locations like eBay, dealers, and other sources. Some of the dealers have since gotten parts trucks, but still A2 parts trucks are rare.

I don't recall the specifics, but there was a thread recently (within the last 30 days) in which someone suggested steps for checking out a solid ABS warning light. I am sorry I can't help more.
