I have replaced O rings on several M939A2 rims. However, I came across a wierd situation where the O rings in my 1989 M925A2 are not the same as those on my M928A2, or any other A2 that I have owned previously. I believe this rim takes a 1/2" by 20" O ring while my other trucks use a thinner O...

Your CTIS leak is most likely due to an O-ring failure. I have several M939A2s and have had several that had tires that leaked down over the years. All stopped leaking down once the O-rings were replaced. I just went through this on an M928A2 that has working CTIS. I suppose the CTIS valve...

Looks great, John. I love the look of the singles, and also like the higher road speed, but I agree, the 1100s definitely are better for pulling. Great looking rig!

PM DECODEME. He and I were talking about the CDL class he took where they also gave him the truck to test on. They literally went through it and told him...this is all you have to know. The price was reasonable as I remember, but I don't recall the exact price.

I wish you the best in your recovery. You have bigger beans than I do. That truck looks like it has been sitting for a while, like most of those trucks down there. I'd be worried about driving a truck that has been sitting on a several hundred mile shake down run...the first real trip it has...

I have used Memphis for parts many times over the last 10+ years. I have been mostly satisfied with their parts. However, once in a while, I have found that the parts they send will work, but they have to be modified.

The M35A3 has reverse lights...but still no alarm. The only trucks, to my knowledge, that have the reverse alarm is the M915 series of trucks. I have limited knowledge of the latest HEMTTs, MTVRs, FMTVs, etc.. They may have it. I mainly was referring to the types of trucks that collectors own.

If you think you'll get one for $5K, you are mistaken...unless they are parts trucks. If they go for $5K, I am going to own at least two, I can assure you of that.

What are you going to tow it with? My reco is to use a truck that is at least as heavy as the M919...and try to hook up the brakes.

Very sorry to hear about that. I actually bid on that truck, but got out way before you won it (we were not really bidding against each other). Sad to see her get cut up...but it is the buyer's right since he will have paid the price for it.

Richard, to fill the air on the front tires, there is a valve exposed through the rock shield. This will allow you to top off the air. Be advised that your CTIS may not like it if you overinflate your tires. One time, I inflated my tires to something higher than the CTIS calls for (the CTIS...

I have wanted an URAL for some time...but, an armored URAL, man, that would be awesome. I found a few nice ones in Europe (England, mainly), but have not wanted to deal with the hassles of getting it shipped to the US.

Really neat job, Robert! Looks great!

Yes, you and FLORIDIANSON are correct. There is nothing wrong with using the HEMTT rims. They tend to be more plentiful and are usually a bit cheaper...but you can find nice 1400s on the correct rims for in the range of $300-400. I have bought many from John Winslow in NC.

I recommend you go with the 1400s and the correct rims.

I am not sure of this, but I was just told that the trucker is going to grab my truck tomorrow so this may not work (literally just heard from the broker). I am sorry for getting your hopes up. With that said, we have had several other false-starts where we were planning to get the truck out...

I have seen regular cabs come out on GL. You could always wait for one. To me, what makes that truck really cool (besides the rarity and the fact that it is a dump...I LOVE dumps) IS the fact that it is the rare airborne version. When I saw it, I did not see anything that could not be fixed...

If someone could get them to JWALLER's place, they are welcome to ride for free to MD in a truck that I have sitting at his place. From there, MONKEYBOYARMY travels from VA to OH and back regularly. It might be easier to take baby steps rather than swing for a homerun getting it that far...

Very cool. I have a 4 color MERDC M151A2, but I, too, love the semi-gloss. Great job.

Agreed with a couple of other posters...don't bob it. That is a RARE truck. I was offered that by Winslow a year or so ago and almost bought it, but could not get the nerve up. I've been involved with a few too many projects where parts are scarce and could not stomach this rebuild. The...
