    900 Series 5 ton

    I've owned several M939 series trucks (M929A1 dump, M928A1 long bed cargo, M936A2 wrecker, M932A2 tractor, M925A2 cargo) and have put quite a few miles on them. In my opinion, they have drive much better than the older trucks and have as much, or more, power (accelaration and torque). The cabs...

    Flooded GL Truck Visit

    My .02 cents...steer clear of those trucks, unless you want them for non-mechanical parts. I would almost guarantee they are junk. They look good, though. Bruce Olney, MD ------ 1991 M149A2 1989 M932A2 1989 M925A2 1989 M101A2 1988 M977 1988 M105A2 1987 M105A2 1985 M1009 (3) 1970 M149A2...

    Thanks, emmado22, I will keep an eye out for that, too. Bruce Olney, MD ------- 1991 M149A2 1989 M932A2 1989 M925A2 1989 M101A2 1988 M977 1988 M105A2 1987 M105A2 1985 M1009 (3) 1970 M149A2 1964 M129C 1963 M332 (3)

    Ring Mounted Wanted for M939 series truck

    Does anyone know where I can find a complete ring mount kit for an M939 series truck? I've seen them in pictures of trucks in Iraq, but I've never seen one for sale stateside. This is probably because they are all headed to Iraq, but I'm thinking that the way the govt works there have to be...

    m821

    I had a lead on up to 20 for $6500 each. I posted it on this list, but there were no takers. (It is not my deal...only a deal that was offered to me by a friend who is a fairly big dealer.) Anyway, these trucks are all in active use right now. I'd like one or two, but my friend will not pull...

    New style light switch issue?

    I have a couple of the switches and have not had any problems with them. However, I have heard that there was a bad "run" of switches. I am not sure the serial numbers, but I was told that these were some of the ones that were cut loose. Perhaps, you have a switch from this lot. Bruce...

    Which tred pattern?

    I have owned trucks with both the Goodyear 1400 x 20 and the Micheline XL. Personally, I like the XL better because it has a more aggressive tread pattern. I can say that my experience has been that the Goodyear tire wears better over the road, though. I have been told by guys that sell tires...

    M54A1

    I think that is a really good price. That is probably an $8500 truck (or more to a guy that really wants a Mack) assuming it is basically rust-free. I've owned a Mack tractor and they are great trucks! Good luck! Bruce Olney, MD -------- 1991 M149A2 1989 M932A2 1989 M925A2 1989 M101A2...

    Picked up a 5 ton 2 weeks ago.

    Timberwolf, Anytime you want to come by to see the trucks is fine by me. I actually have to meet up with Christian to give him the tires that he owes you (they were actually coming from me). Bruce Olney, MD ------ 1991 M149A2 1989 M932A2 1989 M925A2 1989 M101A2 1988 M977 1988 M105A2...

    Picked up a 5 ton 2 weeks ago.

    Timerbwolf, Yes, that was my truck (good eye, Kenny!). I think you'll be very happy with it. Christian is a good friend and he bought the truck from me recently. Basically, he told me months ago that he wanted...then fell on some hard times...and said he wanted to keep his word to but it...

    Should I buy this pile?

    I'd say go for it if the price is right. I've seen fairly nice running ones going for between $4000 and $6500. They are fairly rare...and they are tracked! Good luck! Bruce Olney, MD ---------- 1991 M149A2 1989 M932A2 1989 M935A2 1989 M101A2 1988 M977 1988 M105A2 1987 M1045 1987 M1045 1985...

    CUCV Engine Color

    I THINK...but do not know...that the stock military 6.2 motors came in black. I have only seen one motor that was green...it belongs to my brother-in-law...and it was a gov't rebuilt from Toelle. So, based upon my very small sample size (seven M1009s and one M1008 that I've personally owned...

    M1009 Towing Capacity

    Yeah, I know about the cooling systems on automatic transmissions. My point was that the stock cooling system on a CUCV works fine, although I would agree that an external cooler would be better. I am not sure what types of hauling you guys want to do. Stopping and starting a lot is tough on...

    M1009 Towing Capacity

    The ability to tow with an M1009 is not the problem IMHO. However, the ability to stop could be, unless you have electric brakes (or a working surge brake). I towed two M332 ammo trailers (approx. 2,800 pounds each) from Richmond, VA to MD...simultaneously! Before I hear any gasps...if you...

    fording

    "Can't" is a pretty strong word but I am going to use it anyway. You can't ford a CUCV...at least not without serious modification. It is not as simple as adding an extended air intake and extension onto the exhaust. You would have to waterproof the entire electrical system, including the...

    Parts for M939A2 or residue vehicle wanted

    Does anyone know where I could find parts for an M939A2 vehicle or a residue truck with a reasonable amount of parts on it? I am mainly interested in the following: Air intake parts (from filter cannister to the turbo) Exhaust parts (from the turbo to the exhaust pipe under the cab) Belt...

    Help locating a HEMTT - are they out there yet?

    Expect to pay $45K and up. A decent looking wrecker (that still needed a bunch of stuff) brought $31K on GL recently. That's $31,000 for a truck that you can't even test drive or hear run (the motors are as scarce as hen's teeth...don't let the fact that the same motor was used in commercial...

    Price for a 5 ton

    Sermis, You need to give us more information before we can give you any worthwhile advice. Does the truck have any rust (rot)? Is it an M939 or M809 series truck (an automatic transmission is a dead give away)? What is the mileage? Tire condition (the super singles are not cheap)? What is...

    Heavy equipment trailer for my 5 ton

    Heavy equipment trailer for my 5 ton

    If you really wanted to do it the right way...and money was not an object!...buy a heavy tag-along trailer that is rated for 20 tons. Many of these have air brakes. Good luck! Bruce Olney, MD ----- 1989 M932A2 tractor 1989 M925A2 cargo 1989 M101A2 3/4 ton trailer 1988 M977 HEMTT cargo...
