Additionally, I have never heard of, nor seen, any M939A2s being used by the USMC. If someone has pictures of them in use, I'd love to see them. The Navy, however, did use the A2s. The Seabees M925A2 that I had did not have lockers, though.

I guess it should not shock me that they will bring the Blazer back since I got an older M105A2 that they shipped back. Yes, the M917s are the dumps. I am close to acquiring an M917A2 and I'd love to see pics of trucks used in Iraq. Thanks!

...yeah, and still be able to outbid Phil! :)

If you ask any guy about their favorite anything, you are going to get a lot of answers. My opinion is you can't go wrong with a brand name filter. I usually trust WIX. I get them either packaged as WIX, NAPA, or CARQUEST. I have used FRAM. I have never noticed any difference and I bet...

Do you have any other pics of armored Freightliners (preferably an M917A2 if I can be picky)? :)

Very cool. I don't see that M1009 getting shipped back.

Was the trailer like that when you bid on it? If so, why did you bid on it? If it was not like that, why did you accept it? No way you are getting $600 each on the tires/rims if the guy buying them know anything! What did you pay? I hope paid less than $1200. Not trying to rain on your parade...

Show them you are working on. Communicate with them. Once they see you are TRYING, they usually work with you. I just experienced this. The thing you can't do generally is just call up and ask for an extension. Sure, there are site managers that will do this for you, but those are the site...

Welcome from Damascus!

I had an M35A3 with working CTIS...until it failed after about six months. I recommend using it often (at least monthly) as I have heard that sitting is one of the biggest problems.

You guys are giving me some hope on fixing my CTIS. I have owned several M939A2s and have never had one with perfectly working CTIS.

They probably just replaced the tach (or possibly the speedo) at some point and that could explain why they don't match.

Shocked the CTIS works. I recommend using it regularly. I am serious. I have heard the CTIS fails from sitting.

This probably explains why I got a rebuilt M939A2 that had a valve knock! I could not understand why the motor LOOKED NEW...had new paint...but had an old date on it (at the time, I assume it was a crate motor that sat on a shelf). Now, I know, if they don't replace or rebuild the motor (with...

Sometimes, when a battery is DEAD...I mean, really DEAD...it won't even take a jump. I've had several trucks where you had to leave the slave cables hooked up for a while before you could get it turn over at all. Sometimes, it does not even turn over. It could just be the batteries. First...

I think part of it is what you just said right there...some bidders see one truck go higher and think it must be better so they hit it, too. I have been tempted by early bidding when I see a truck go way higher than the rest (hard to resist thinking someone knows something about THAT truck)...

How much is your time worth? What about food? Insurance? Tags? A lot more than just the cost of the flight and fuel goes into the calculation. You are going to save money. There is no doubt about that, but I don't think you are factoring everything when figuring out what you are saving.

What will it cost you to fly out and drive home 1,000 miles (including food, fuel, and possibly a hotel)? I just paid $2,500 to have a truck shipped 1,000 miles on an RGN. An M923 will fit on a step deck and they are generally cheaper. Make sure you are saving money. Good luck.

Yes...standard battery is 6TL or equivalent. I am sure there are civilian batteries that will work.

Headlights, muffler and exhaust tip, tool box, hood (assuming it was not warped...it looks straight), front bumper, etc...there is a lot there that might have been useful or valuable.
