    M939 Series Arctic Personnel Heater Installation Questions

    You're fine. The heater really just takes the place of the heater core and blower box under hood, requires 2 crescent shaped brackets to do so. It should have more air output that the heater core blower, at least it feels that way when I run my fuel fired heater on a test bench. Not many...

    M939 Series Arctic Personnel Heater Installation Questions

    Wow. I feel like I’m on a job interview. You’re welcome for the pic, it is not my install. That’s everything except asking me to do it for you. I have not installed it yet, so I can answer some, not all. 1. NA 2. I would install a dedicated tank dip tube and pump, as to not risk the...

    M925A2 Dump Bed Hoist Opinions

    Good capacity info. One negative about using the M925xx stock hydraulic system is that it really only works properly with the transmission in neutral, same as the winch. A lot of dump truck videos show the truck pulling forward to either spread the load out, or to fully empty the bed if the...

    M925A2 Dump Bed Hoist Opinions

    Move to 5 ton mod dept. Then, yes, many have done via several different methods. There is a balance to be struck between max load lift, max tilt angle, and configuration as installed. The self-contained scissor mechanism (CC) is a very reasonably priced option, and position of it is a...

    Is it really as simple as just getting a smaller pulley for alternator?

    I tried to thank your post like 7 times bro, but it would not let me.

    All 5-tons: Heavy Duty Torque Rod Ends

    Have somebody else call next week, and see if they still say no reported failures. That's usually the case. You're kind of rough on stuff though, and I think those are Chinese (Newstar)?

    M939 Series Arctic Personnel Heater Installation Questions

    It replaces the heater core box under hood. Takes 2 unique brackets to do so. I bought these brackets, nobody had them. Had to do the TM and NSN search, then contact the original supplier. I bought a buddy lunch to do all that because he was bored. Sorry lost all that info years ago, but you...

    Is it really as simple as just getting a smaller pulley for alternator?

    Interesting. Specs say exact same. Did you get the alternator from me? Sold a bunch recently, apology I can't keep track. If so, I have a replacement lower brace that allows you to make the stock serpentine belt system "adjustable", to set the tensioner anywhere you want it. I'll send it to...

    M923 Spring brake overide

    No, having nothing to do if you have a brake problem. More-so if you are having a rapid air loss problem. This button does one thing only, it prevents the spring parking brake from setting when the truck air pressure is bleeding down. It takes a very good understanding of that single sentence...

    M939-A2 Battery Sudden Death

    Could just be alternator failure? I'd go group 31 batteries and a new civilian alternator, even if all the original mil stuff was fine. Do you recall the volt gauge position with the engine running? It would help to easily differentiate the issue if you really want to just find and fix what...

    Detroit Locker Install Into M939 series 5ton

    Repost for original question. I received 2 Detroit locking differentials for 5 ton axles, and it included some large springs and other parts as well. Install instructions and/or diagrams beyond TM appreciated.

    24 volt to 12 volt

    Two seperate 6v batteries in series vs one 12v is same. Battery cells are in series. Each cell generates 2V. 12V battery has 6 cells in series, 6v has 3 cells in series.

    24 volt to 12 volt

    That’s where the various opinions come into play. Some say nothing. I’m on that side. Others say it shortens that battery’s life due to inbalance. If one runs $100 group 31’s, I’d be fine with it, even if shorted life. Decision each makes.

    24 volt to 12 volt

    My favorite topic. They do it by pulling 12v off one battery (bank). On the 939’s, this 12v circuit is even ran through the dash ignition switch, as to shut the heater blower off when keyed down. Factory, stock, approved design.
