As long as the airlines are not cut, you should be good. The brakes on the LMTV trailers have 2 brakes chambers per wheel on the newer ones. Each axle requires 4 caging bolts. The last 4 M322 Engineer Equipment Trailers I picked up all had cut service air lines and the brakes were already...
Soldiers B and C are currently 7 and 9. I doubt they will be much help in helping with tire removal or hub services anytime soon. They really enjoy the quieter vehicles and that was the primary reason for crossing into the CUCV and M939 5 Ton arena. First few pictures are from the Deuce days...
Now to clarify, I think Deuces are awesome trucks. ¨Big Trucks¨ was my first personally owned MV and I enjoyed the mess out of our time together. He towed quite a bit of stuff off base that many would think he had no business attempting. He went to 5 SSGR MV Rallies in 6 years of ownership...
Can anyone guess which one I think rides more like a Town Car and which one rides a little rougher and louder? I currently own one of the trucks and had a fun time at May Day in Doerun GA in the parade!!!
I lost a thimble today that was somewhat holding my 14R20 on. Thank Goodness the other 9 were still somewhat tight, well very tight. I then did a loadout today using my truck and another member on here called out CSM Davis in a conversation saying he went up one side and down another as to why...
Had a fun evening with Simp5782. It was quite a loadout, I almost have a loading dock in the old school bus turn around. A little shovel work to make some holes for the trailer to back down into and some study 4X4s along with some awesome backing led to a generator loaded onto a trailer. Simp...
I sold mine for $5,500 and it looked like this. Certainly not a museum piece but it had 95% or better Firestone T831 tires on it, spin on filters all around, new canvas over the cab and cargo area, fiberglass uprights. Maintenance on the truck included annual hub servicing, all fluids changed...
I agree with goldneagle! My personal truck is a M939A0 but I have plenty of experience with A2 trucks and the fans operate very much the same. You will know for certain when it is truly engaged!
Looks great! I sold my standard M35A2 for the exact same price. It did have some awesome tires but the box adds about as much value depending on your intentions. Awesome tires are not everything though, included are some pictures of how things look good and how awesome tires can make it look bad.
I said I would nominate a truck in my yard!! This one left a few years ago but I would like to nominate Swamp Donkeys M923!!! I am sure he has a better picture as I have watched his progress from afar.
I am NOT nominating the truck in the attached picture as he won May of 2015 so he is ineligible. I am just tossing the picture up in hopes of inspiring others to nominate their trucks. Sarge was the first CUCV to win and he was running against some very nice trucks that month to include a HET...
They tow just fine. This trailer weighs about 11,000 pounds and the truck hardly notices it. I should handle your boats or other vehicles without issue. Welcome to the hobby and keep in mind, these trucks are herd vehicles. I do not know many members here with just one.
Brandon,
I am glad you made it home safely! The NHC250 in the M923 notices it slightly but that trailer made it to 72 mph for most of the ride home and towed fine at 2,100 rpm. No noticeable smoke indicated by trail vehicle during the initial recovery.
Ron did build a nice truck. I will never discount the amount of work required to mount a MK 15 Wrecker Body onto an M1070A1. It basically looks like a factory made truck and is likely a very capable wrecker. I also think you put alot of time and work into the HEMMT and certainly in such a...
We have taken quite a few into state parks in GA, even louder ones such as Deuces. I think a stock M939 series truck would not cause anyone to bat an eye in a state park due to noise. They would likely be drawn to the truck out of curiosity or photo ops.
AMG and Jennifer are rolling just fine. They ate a late supper over here, Jennifer and Lee spoiled my boys and all is well. Brandon got hooked to his trailer rather quickly but I started talking a little and he got hungry!!! Good Thing , Lee is a good cook and we had warm leftovers! Jen got...
