You will want to check the ABS as the light should flash when you start the truck and then go out if the system is operating properly. Nice truck and thanks for sharing the vids.

The M939 series trucks are in the same boat as far as lockers are concerned. Most did not have lockers, except the USMC and Navy trucks. I have never seen an A2 with lockers even if they were used by the Navy.

I agree with Neil. I never mess with that pump. I usually just give my trucks just the faintest hint of ether. There is a rubber O-ring inside that has probably failed. I replaced one on my M817. I believe I bought it from one of the big dealers, probably CSI. Good luck!

A couple of things... Yes, I was suggesting that the OP look at A1s over A2s because I believe he suggested he was looking at A2s (unless I confused threads). Second, he may or may not have access to the rims and tires to convert to 1400s. The correct rims are not what I would call scarce...

Once you either determine you have no leaks or you fix the leaks, I would suggest using the wrecker at least monthly to keep things from leaking (keep seals and hoses from drying out, etc.).

Most of those wreckers looked to have been sent there for a rebuild. Most looked to be sitting for a long time. Be cautious...wreckers don't like sitting for lengthy periods of times. IMO, you will probably have hydraulic leaks. You may want to carefully check all hydraulic hoses and...

I concur with Mark (EMMADO 22). The M939A1s are the best buy. They tend to be cheaper than the A2s and you get super singles (higher road speed and more beefy looking).

There are two sensors, I believe, so you may want to check both of them. One corresponds to the primary air system and one to the secondary air system.

If you can go with tan, I believe CLINTO or CLINTOGF have some new ones.

It is located right near the air tanks (wires going into the low air warning sensor). The sensor is bad.

The heater cores are the same as those on the M809 and M44 series trucks. Talk to anyone with a residue truck with a heater and swap in a take out heater core.

Jim, I mentioned gearing and the transmission as inhibiting factors, but the tire size definitely plays a part as you pointed out.

The Freightliners, unfortunately, have a fairly low top speed. It has to do with the gearing combined with a 4 speed transmission. I would say that 55-57 mph is the maximum safe cruising speed for extended periods. The truck will do 60 mph or slightly more, though.

Nice truck. I have one, too, and love it! I may part with it...not sure. Only reason I may part with it is that I got an M916A2 which has factory air conditioning among other upgrades. No M916A2s have come out...I got this in a trade from a guy who got it from an "agency." By the way...

I bet there is someone on this list who'll buy the muffler you just removed.

Contact POWERHOUSEDEUCE (Matt). He may be able to help. If you have an M35, I'd suggest the M105. The 3/4 ton trailers tend to ride nose up when pulled behind a deuce or 5 ton. With that said, the 3/4 ton trailers are MUCH easier to man handle around.

Welcome! There are plenty of members from Canada and I am happy that a few have already responded so far. The annual east coast rally is located in Aberdeen, MD, but the show in PA (Gilbert) is near as good and isn't on asphalt!

Welcome aboard, Chris. I love your trucks, particularly the M151A2.

That is really cool. What I really want to find is one of the landing leg supports that the same company makes for the M105A3! That wimpy landing leg scares me when my son is around it. Anyone know where I can find one without paying retail to the company?

I concur with DOGHEAD. I had the same problem with my M1028A2.
