You probably did this, but, if not, I suggest filling the filter with fuel before you put it on.

That looks like CARC to me. In fact, I have never heard of a military truck coming out without CARC in recent years (at least trucks that were in recent service...I suppose there could be some exceptions). I would figure it is CARC and take the appropriate protections.

The older M809 series filter was considered an upgrade if you can believe it! These trucks originally came with just the spin on filter. Most were then upgraded to include a small in-line filter. I have not found any documentation for this, but I believe they found that the little in-line...

Yes, the A1 and the A2 look almost the same. There are outward differences, however, most notably the A2s have four front lifting shackles, CTIS on the rims, and the bottom of the differential housings are flat (rounded on A1s). There are confusing things, though: I have seen a few rebuilt...

I have never heard of an M939A2 having lockers. The Army did not use lockers, and the USMC never used the A2s. The Navy did and they normally followed the USMC with lockers on earlier vehicles, but a USN Seabees truck that I had did NOT have lockers. I was hoping, though!

I am sure you are correct because I don't have any personal knowledge to the contrary, but I thought I read on this list that some deuces that came out somewhere (maybe HI) that were so equipped were used for prisoner transport. I believed it at the time because I had no reason not to, but that...

As far as I have been able to tell, the USMC never used the M939A2s, but the USN did. Perhaps, they rebuild trucks for the Navy. The Navy Seabees, in particular, had a number of them. I once had a Seabees M925A2.

Yes, Lane Young in Michigan purchased an M149A2 for this same purpose. I am drawing a blank right now on his screen name. Perhaps, someone from Michigan will chime in. If I think of his screen name, I'll post again. If you don't have any luck, PM me and I'll give you his phone number.

Yup, I've seen such trucks. I have never seen such an M915, but I've seen M915A1s so equipped. I bid on a few of them that came out of WI.

I bet you'll be safe. That is in the right range at the very least.

The M939A2s were made from 1989 through 1992 so that should limit it some. I have seen a few A2s listed as 88s, but I don't think that is correct from the people I have spoken to. I know the guy who bought out BMY after the A2 run and he has all of the records. While I will try to help find...

Can you take pics of the damage? Perhaps, you posted them in another thread and I missed them. Thanks!

I have one that looks to be reconditioned by the military (that is how I bought it and I never used it). I'd take $450 for it. It is in a wooden crate and would cost some bucks to ship, I'd suspect (fairly heavy/large). I won't charge you any handling, but you pay actual shipping. Another...

The mud flap kits are available for sale. Do a search or PM me.

I never heard of that, but I guess that is possible. Thanks for the additional explanation.

I was reading this thread because I was curious about the problem and solution. While I don't have anything to add regarding the solution, I think it is almost Impossible for any overfilling of the fuel tank to affect the transfer case in anyway. I am not sure how fuel from the tank would get...

I have heard from guys in the military that it is much easier (translation = less paperwork and justification) to scrap a truck rather than turn it in. These guys (one NG and the other active duty) told me that the paperwork and scrutiny is more intense if they are turning a truck in as opposed...

Great job.

I'll second what QUICKFARMS said...take it to an Allison dealer and have them check it out.

That truck probably was with several units throughout its life. Gently and carefully sand down the bumperettes (or the front bumper) and hopefully you'll be able to track the units the truck was with.
