I got a neat idea for you. Take one end off the NATO cable. There are lugs inside at the end of the wires. If they fit the terminals on the starter connect them directly to the starter. Then plug the NATO end to the other truck. Now you have good cables feeding the starter. Try starting...

I just purchased one of these battery load tester. I would recommend you get one and test your batteries. This way you will know if they are good. Only $29.29 http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B000AMBOI0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

From what I can tell, on the M939 the ground goes from the battery to the starter then to the engine.

I think you have a bad battery in the system. Since the starter is trying to turn the relay and solenoid are working. It is doing the same thing as it would with weak batteries. Another idea is to try jumping between the two large bolts on the solenoid and see if you get any faster speed out...

Not a good idea to let kids play in the cab without supervision. Does the truck have a hidden kill switch? If not it is an accident waiting to happen. Someone could get killed!

Welcome from Slidell.

Here is another picture I took today after repairing the t-bolt and installing the tire for size. I had to repair the T-bolt because the t-nut was frozen in place. I tried to turn the nut and used penetrating oil but it would not budge. Since I could not remove the t-nut and it was attached to...

Will it run with a squirt of ether? If so it might be air in the fuel line. There are threads in here already taht give step by step instructions on checking for air leaks in the fuel lines. Also could be a air leak in the filter housing. (Top bolt gasket)

I went to Hattisburg, MS Wednesday to pick up some truck parts while the scrapper was still there. Ended up getting a complete spare tire rack assembly with toolbox attached from a M931. I also got some additional tractor tool boxes as well as a replacement hood for my M932. I had them cut...

I got the leafs for almost scrap value from the scrapper that is parting a lot of M939 trucks at Jeff's yard. I will measure them soon to see if they will work under the truck.

OK I found it! Here is a link tot he thread: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?123680-First-m1008/page3 Look at post #16 and on...

Thank you guys for trying. Maybe I imagined the whole thing. :shrugs:

I remember that the thread had pictures included showing the springs installed. The member stated he used 2 leafs from the front springs of a M818 5 ton under the existing spring pack to raise the front on his M1008 so he could use HMMWV tires and rims on his CUCV. I'ts been a few months since...

Since i read the thread on here it means it does exist. It's just hard to find it using the search function. I hope DH can help. He seams to know the right search phrase to find stuff.

I remember reading a thread about lifting front end of M1008 using 2 leaf springs from 5 ton truck.. I did not find it in my search. Does anyone have a link to it? I finally got the springs from the scrapper in Jeff's yard along with other goodies. Thinking of doing the lift on my M1008 so I...

Had a starting issue on my M936 wrecker. Replaced the fuel filter with spin on and new fuel line to IP. NAPA sells a universal hose that is almost as stiff as hydraulic hose but made for the push-on fittings. I reused my fittings with the new hose. Worked on first attempt. Here are links to...

OK update: Went outside today and whacked the solenoid twice with a hammer as I was instructed by the tech at the starter shop. I then tested the circuit by touching the negative battery lead to the battery terminal to see if it would spark. No spark so no load. So the solenoid retracted off...

The question still remains are they long enough to properly hold the aluminum rims?

After installing my rebuilt starter and charging the batteries on my M936 I got the truck started with no issues. I tried it several times without any issues. Today i went to start up the wrecker to see if the batteries were still holding the charge. When I tried to crank the truck I could...

Today i welded the adapter pieces on to the replacement base. I then bolted the tracks to the adapters. Painted up the base and let it dry. I then reattached the seat to the tracks and hooked up the 1/4" air hose to the base. Besides the unbearable heat and humidity all went smooth. Next...
