Can you make money parting a truck out? Yes. However, most of this is not like handling gold. You will almost certainly sit on the bulky stuff that you want to sell. Hoods, beds, cabs...that stuff is going to sit. You'll find that guys grab up the trinkets quickly and the carcass is left...

That is a rebuilt truck for sure! Now, exactly what a "rebuild" entails is up for debate. I have had trucks with new motors, rebuilt motors, original motors that were repainted...and the same for t-cases and transmissions. Most have new wiring, some have new gauges (although many of the RRAD...

Did you turn the lights on? Not trying to be a smart a$$, but there is a three lever switch that you need to utilize to turn the lights on. Does the truck have a push button light switch (I guess I should have asked that first)? If so, it could be bad or grounded incorrectly. Check your...

Yes. CTIS stands for Central Tire Inflation System.

That is false, my friend. I have had multiple A2s without ABS. HALFTRACK, on this list, bought an M925A2 from me that was like that.

I believe the fording kit also included stuff to pressurize the bell housing and other things. I don't have one on any current trucks so I can't check, but that is my recollection from my old M817 with a fording kit.

SUPRMAN, not all of the rebuilt trucks have those tags. I believe that the RRAD rebuilds are the only ones with those tags, although the Kansas Joint Readiness Center (I believe that is what it was called) has rebuilt a lot of trucks and I think they usually have a dataplate by the driver's...

You will know if your truck has ABS because there is a little amber light with a data plate surrounding it at the bottom left of the gauge cluster. Also, the truck SHOULD have a sticker in the bottom right (as you face the truck) corner of the driver's windshield.

8.2, or 8.3 6CTA, Tom?

Please take pics of the dash. I wonder if it really has a fording kit on it. While some Army trucks had them, most did not. The Marines never used the A2s and they would have installed the fording kit. The Navy, I guess, could have installed a fording kit because they did use the A2s, but I...

Awesome looking truck. Good luck with it! Are you planning to haul a low boy on the road, or off-road? I ask this because I don't think you are going to like the truck when trying to tow a lowboy (probably weighing in the 20K pounds range) and a load. These trucks just don't have enough...

Even the Chobham armor on a tank like the M1A2 can be defeated. HEDELTA, on this list, drove an M1A1 in Iraq and was hit by an IED that destroyed the tank. Maybe, he'll chime in with his own war story.

Glad you fixed it!

I see you've done the calculations just in case! Ha ha. I am sure you got a nice one. If you have not heard, contact Jeff Laumer (262-227-2967) at Fort McCoy. He can help you check over your tractor, or even remove it from the base so you can come on your schedule, not GL's. He has helped me...

Ahhh...I did not read ahead. You got me! :)

You win if your truck was a rebuilt M927 in similar condition. Is your truck rebuilt? If so, apples to apples, you did better. But, the point remains, that I believe that $4400 for a rebuilt M927 is a good deal. Sure, if yours is rebuilt, $2K is much better. Any pics of your truck?

John Appel on this list has an A2 that he is parting out. I'd recommend places like that.

Yeah, I think you did VERY well. That is a nice truck, and so is your tractor, which I think you stole! Great job.

$4,400 is overpaying for a rebuilt M927? Wow. Times change. Or, possibly perspectives change. I am curious what you guys hoped you reasonably would get a rebuilt M927 for.

The data plate right in front of the steering wheel indicates 63 MPH MAXIMUM in 5th gear. With that said, I keep it to 55 MPH. The tires on the truck are radials, not NDCCs, but, still, who knows what we've got unless we replaced the tires ourselves or really inspected inside the tires (which...
