Thanks, Robb! That information would have changed my suggestion. Since it mainly will be a pleasure vehicle, I suggest increasing the tire size to 1400s. Try them out BEFORE you swap in an overdrive transmission as the larger tires may give you enough road speed. If you want more, go with...

Perhaps, I missed this in an earlier thread. What will you be doing with the M52A2? Is it strictly for pleasure driving or will you haul a trailer? Highway or local driving?

I once owned an M543A2 wrecker with the non-overdrive transmission that you have. Max road speed was 47 MPH and I believe that was at 2,500 RPM. Larger tires will help with the top speed, but you will lose power. Switching to the overdrive transmission should allow you to drive at 53 MPH or...

Scooter is a great guy. He is one of the people I look forward to seeing each year at Aberdeen.

Keep in mind when planning your camper that the M105 is not water tight. When it rains hard, water will stream across the bed floor. I have slept many nights in M105 trailers. You definitely have to keep anything that you don't want to get wet off of the floor. Good luck!

We know...you are not interested in bidding but you figured others might be so you posted a link to an ongoing or upcoming auction. As stated above, this is a big no-no. Would you have posted the info if you intended to bid?

Agreed CUCVFAN on the MERDC camo. That was the only M939 series truck that I have ever seen with the 4 color camo.

John, PM me your cell # and I will go out to my M925A2 to check.

I like it! Great job...

John, I am not sure where to suggest you look. I would think the big dealers like Memphis will have it. Unfortunately, as you know, there are almost no A2 parts trucks from what I have been able to gather. The A2 specific exhaust and air intake parts are almost non-existent in the surplus...

My A3 is gone! I agree on the scarcity of the A3s. This may actual hurt parts availability as A3-specific parts are like hen's teeth.

Randy, thanks for your perspective. Often, this list is missing the perspective of the actual user as most of us have never served and used these vehicles in the service.

DCWILKIE, not sure if you know this, but it is against site rules to mention any upcoming or ongoing auction. I suggest you edit your post or else a moderator will.

That is less than I have seen them bring on GL but, for some reason, some guys would rather pay more to GL as if their trucks/trailers are better.

There really is almost nothing in common between the M44A3 and the M939A2 series. They are almost completely different. Sure, there are commonalities...reflectors, composite lights, head lights, side marker lights, doors...and probably a few more. Name something else and it is different. I am...

Tags and insurance are always nice.

GE...you are right...everything must go "within reason." If the guy was getting $4K previously and took $2500 now, that would seem to be fire sale pricing. A fire sale does not mean the guy has to sell the truck for a grand when he paid more. I can almost guarantee you he did pay more because...

If you want to really get a good deal, offer to buy more than one truck. It sounds like they really want to move them.

It only makes sense that they will want more than they paid at auction. Think back to the auctions in MD and DE. This guy was buying everything up and paying reasonable prices. I remember seeing the same bidder # winning truck after truck. So, figure he paid $1,500 per truck. Do the math...

Not sure what to tell you other than you have a really unique truck there. That M109 has the older style horizontal exhaust. That is not common at all anymore. Nothing bad about it...just more rare. Good luck!
