    Dump Truck Running Poorly

    Driving a truck home 350 miles that has been in storage and sitting for a long time is asking for trouble. I agree with the previous two posters. Change the fuel filter, oil and oil fiter...add fresh fuel and conditioner...check for air leaks in the fuel lines...make sure there is an air...

    5 Ton ESP Truck

    Justin, nice score. Unfortunately, I cannot help with the manuals as I have never seen any.

    M816 Wrecker towing an M817 Dumptruck

    I had no idea that the sprag ONLY functions when the air system is charged. I looked into a bit and JWALLER is definitely correct...no air and the sprag stays in a neutral position (neither forward nor reverse). Still, that was a surprise. You learn something new each day!

    M816 Wrecker towing an M817 Dumptruck

    Did you disconnect the front drive shaft or were the front wheels spinning? I assume you must have disconnected it. Thanks for the pics.

    Great to see the truck doing what it was supposed to do!

    Heater parts

    Contact CUCVFAN. He has one or two NOS heater kits for a 5 ton gasser or Mack. That would probably work for you. Most of the parts are the same as the deuce heater kit. I don't know anything about the price...I just know he's got them.

    a little help from the experts

    In terms of highway speeds, the M1008s like 50 MPH the best, but they will do 55 MPH with no problem and even 60 MPH, although I personally would not drive my truck at that speed for hours at a time. I've even had mine up to 65 MPH for a hundred yards or so in order to merge into traffic, but...

    What is a HEMTT really worth?

    Looks like he might have bought the LVS wrecker prototype that was for sale in VA. Pretty nice truck. I always wondered how it differed from the production trucks...if at all.

    I have not gotten alerts either...I don't have gmail.

    more power for m923?

    I use PowerService conditioner, but I bet Lucas makes a similar product. Even in low range you don't have power? Watch out...do not use reverse in low range. Some on here have done so with no ill effects, but, with that much weight and the torque necessary to move the load and push down...

    more power for m923?

    Are you finding a lack of power with the truck empty, or loaded with a water tank? Did you swap out the original tires with larger tires? A lot of guys do this and they cost themselves power that is already in short supply. If you installed larger tires, I'd suggest pulling them off. If you...

    M936 video

    Best thing of all, it is a former USMC vehicle, which makes it even more rare. I only know of one other USMC M936 out there.

    M932A2 new owner

    Has anyone figured out why they would install air suspension on an M932A2 that just can't carry really heavy loads? I remember thinking about that when it came up. The truck cannot haul what an M915 can carry. I am not criticizing the truck; I love the 9 series. Just curious is all...

    I need new rubber ropes for bed cover

    I have a complete 3 color camo vinyl cargo cover that WAS brand new...I had it on the truck for three months and it has been stored inside since. $250...what I paid for it. Shipping is tough...it is folded up and fairly big. I can deliver for free to Aberdeen in May.

    M105 troop carrier

    As others have stated, there is no way they carried troops in a trailer like that. Take a look in your rearview mirror when you are driving down the road and check out how much your trailer is bouncing all over the place.

    M35A3 Fan Killed Radiator - CAUTION

    Justin, if you need a radiator, contact McCLANAHAN in CA. He has a new radiator for an A3.

    Winch Mount - M35A3

    HNDRSONJ indicated that CSI might have a w/w parts truck so that might be a good first call. Good luck!

    what to do with this m342a2 dump

    I just checked some pics and I might be wrong on the suspension differences. I do know that the chassis is different, though.
