    Subscription?

    I renewed yesterday because mine expired on the 12th. All of the people that jumped on board when the subscriptions were put into place and didn't choose two years should all be coming due at this time.

    Where to get paint

    I get all my spray cans from Rapco. If I need gallons I go to the local PPG paint store. I have spray painted a piece of metal with Rapco paint to take to the PPG for matching. The match is spot on. I had just as well order my gallon paint from Rapco but the haz mat shipping kills you. I'm not...

    Site downtime - this sunday!

    I'm always on the laptop while in the recliner. :D I'm actually sitting here now typing, laid back, and watching Duck Dynasty.

    Site downtime - this sunday!

    Anybody want to bet that there will be at least 3 threads after the site comes back up saying SS has been hacked?

    rear shackle mounting points

    A 5-ton rear shackle mount will take the same size shackle as the front on a deuce.

    M931a2 T-case

    Isn't that a pic of the speedometer drive? I know it's not the lock cylinder or solenoid valve. The valve and cylinder are located on the top toward the front of the t-case.

    You'll have to pay up to find out. :D

    M931a2 T-case

    If you trace the wires from the button you will trace them to a air solenoid. The line from the solenoid will go to a air cylinder mounted on the t-case. On every M939 truck I get my hands on, I disconnect the air line from said cylinder and plug the line and where it goes into the cylinder...

    Gin Pole

    If you're not going to use the front winch, I'd consider mounting the poles on the back. Depending on how far out you're going to be picking this load, you can overload the front end of even a 5-ton if you hang 1,500lb far enough out. The rear will hold much more weight.

    can't post to classifieds

    Why on earth people think everything should be free is beyond me. If you don't want to pay for ads, post on craigslist. I'd be ok with having to pay to post in any of the forums. This site cost money to run and the people that use this great resource should chip in. It's not like it's a lot of...

    Winch Teardown Q

    The keys can be really stuck sometimes. Take a cold chisel, angle in on the key facing upward, and drive it out. Sometimes you'll destroy the key doing this but it shouldn't hurt the shaft and new keys are readily available. If you don't chew it up too bad you can knock down the edges with a...

    Won a trailer no sf-97

    Scrap sales used to all be above 6,000 event number. As has been said, they ran out of numbers below 6,000 for non-scrap sales. The "above 6,000 equals scrap sales" isn't accurate anymore. Read the description of the lot. That will tell you if it's a scrap sale or not. Most of the times they...

    'trick questions' on GL SF-97 request form?

    GL puts whatever on the sf97 you tell them to. I bought a M936 wrecker that had a 36,000 lb (I think) empty weight. The problem is I pulled the wrecker bed and added a lime spreader bed which brought the empty weight down to about 26,000 lb. I put 26,000lb on the form and the sf97 came back...

    Commercial 24.5 wheels ? fit M50 series axles ?

    99.9% of stud pilot 24.5 commercial wheels will fit the 5-ton. Honestly, I've never seen one that wouldn't but I'm thinking there could be a oddball out there somewhere. Doc, you'll more than likely have to change your studs to run AL due to the extra thickness AL wheels have.

    Well, It's gone.

    I've been on the fence about selling my M715. I love the truck but it don't seem like I get time to drive it very often anymore. I'll fire it up for the local vet day parade (I believe last vet day parade was the last time I drove it). I was using it for my second vehicle to use around the farm...

    Deuce driving tips

    For some reason my M932 has a rifle mount on the door. That thing lines right up with your elbow.

    Workspace request. Marietta,Smyrna, Ga area.

    A friend of mine lives in a apartment complex. He got in trouble for jumping a truck off. They told him to have it towed to a repair shop next time his vehicle needs work.

    Mil Gator from TN to FL

    Actually it's about 25. :) I was watching it but didn't bid. That whole "ran when parked" deal scared me. It was on Govdeals and the county hwy dept had it. I may can help with picking it up and bringing it back to my place.
