Sarcastically, Read the F´ing Manual! I am not here to answer stuff pointed out in the TM! In reality, I am not sure. My experience only involves use of the mechanical pressure gauge version that displays air pressure when you release the handle.

My question is ¨Do you value CTIS?¨ Only reason I ask is the Marines never really had M939A2 trucks. They may have used some signed over from the Army but never truly adopted the platform. I have worked at a facility for years and have never seen one in the system and they did not acknowledge...

325 Thundering Springs Road, Leesburg, GA, 31763. My GPS stops at Thundering Springs Baptist Church. Go just past that and take the dirt road to the right. 1/2 mile on it and you will realize you are at the right spot. Easy giveaway will be the CUCV, M1102, M105, M923, 2 M322 trailers and...

In the National Guard, we often just pull two opposite bearing caps bolts at the differential end of the driveshaft. Then going side to side with a sand mallet, we get the bearing caps out and removal becomes much easier. It's good to know there is a specific tool out there. Would you have a...

Pressurize the fuel tank or perform the dreaded prime by ether. Both methods work but many people on here do not like starting fluid. It got a horrible reputation back in the day when sprayed from the can. On a cold day, my M923 will run the batteries down if I try to start on diesel alone...

Alot of nice trucks this month as always! Looks like it is a battle between the big boys. I have to sway towards Ken this month though, he helped me just today through a phone call in dealing with an upset MK 48. His advice helped me to locate the solenoid that controls the hydraulically...

Worse case scenario, figure $4.00 a loaded mile. If you work into someones route and they are empty, you may catch a deal but for planning purposes, factor in dedicated out of route shipping and you will still have some money in your pocket if you budget that way. If not running, that will up...

I have an MK 48/14 combo at my house that I attempted to take it its owners house today. The engine coolant temp gauge reads a steady 220 once warmed up and running down the road. The transmission oil temp gauge reads around 230 and creeps up to roughly 270 before I finally lose my nerve and...

Many members are closer but I have one in Leesburg, Ga that you can borrow.

http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?53152-Successful-recovery-M818-towed-by-a-M35&highlight= I have done it foolishly in the past... I do not recommend it! Since I have owned the 5 ton, recovery is so much more comfortable!

Ben, Nice job using your family in the pictures of your truck. Always good to see them involved and I certainly do the same thing!!! Joseph

A few pics of General Non-Sense. He likes to work and hang out among fellow Green Iron. Did anyone mention these are ¨Pack Vehicles¨?

I retract my previous statement, this picture shows the entire geared hub missing.

I don't see the wheel flange so preliminarily it looks like a spindle nut failure. Praying for the quick recovery of the Troops!

I would recommend becoming friends with someone with an M939 base model truck. They often come on 11R20 Radials which the owners often ditch for some 14R20´s. You can find some pretty good deals. I know of one member on here who simply gave his nearly new G177´s to another member on here when...

If the idle is set slightly high and the truck has some suction line air leaks, it can do the same thing. I have never understood how that happens on a 250 Cummins. I would think introduction of air into the fuel at high idle would cause a stall. Now that I have my M923, it has throttle...

I'm not scared, my truck hangs out around big equipment as well. Let's go General Non-Sense!!! 1984 AM General M923A0 now A1 clone!!! I would nominate my CUCV as they seem to have momentum after last month but alas, Sarge is a previous winner of MV of the Month from May of last year!!!

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but for some reason while the LVS's were still current trucks, the Marines deemed the MK-17 RBU as un-needed. At the time, they were not assigned a favorable demil code so we literally watched 100's of them get cut up for scrap removal about 5 years ago. I'm...

In the case of the truck I am storing, I think it is gauge or sending unit related. After getting it up to temp today on a drive, I checked the upper metal radiator hose with an infrared thermometer. Read 190 consistently there, 155 coming out of the radiator on the rear. Fan was engaged so I...

Maybe height wise but just look at the length difference. The Engineer Equipment trailer I am hooked to is 31 feet long.
