There is already a thread started about adding a step to the M939 trucks. Please search for that thread. A lot of good info in there.....

I had a small project today. I decided to move the Jerry Can and mount to the side of the tool box next to the mud flap. It seemed to me like wasted space there. I removed the Jerry Can mount from the top of the tool box. Was not expecting to see some serious rust under there! The bottom of...

Looks nice! Can you get pictures of the A/C compressor from underneath? There must be a 2nd mount that is used to put tension on the belts and hold it in place.

Personally I would leave the controls and reservoir in place. Sounds like you got a Sea-Bee or Navy truck. If you want to sell those parts shoot me a price.

He could also have cracked fuel lines. We have discussed this before. Have to pressurizer the tank and see if there is signs of escaping fuel. As mentioned the lines look normal until you pressurize them.

I had to repair the lock on the driver's side door. I messed it up when I installed the lockable handle. I didn't cut the grooves on the sides of the 5/16 rod like the original handles had. I think locking it from the inside with the battle lock bent a piece inside. I started by removing the...

Thanks for the help. I ordered 2 of them for $12.50 each from a seller on Ebay. So I will have a spare in stock.

Ok I have some up to date news about the "overheating" issue with my truck. It was the temperature sensor or gauge that are faulty. Jeff Davis advised me last night to do a thorough test of the engine with an infrared thermometer. Since I have one handy i decided to follow his suggestion. I...

Insurance card for the 5 ton.

It's a bypass filter. It has no bearing on the engine temperature. It uses the same taps as the heater. If it clogs it will not effect the coolant flow. Bypass filter work by detouring a small amount of coolant through the filter and back to the main system. It takes a long time for the...

You are right. No one got hurt and I made it back home safe. Once I got the truck home I felt a lot better. Now I can fix the problem at my own pace. No rush. I just want to make sure it is in good shape before I go anywhere far from home.

Had a bad day with the truck today. Had to take an A/C unit I sold a member here to a shipping terminal. First the truck was running fine. Then it started to run hot! The fan clutch did not engage during the trip -so I figured the thermal switch was stuck. When I got to the terminal I used...

I had to load a crate with an A/C unit I sold to a member here. After loading and securing the tailgate I noticed there was a opening in the slot that the T bolt goes into for locking the tailgate. It is big enough to put a padlock through. I think it is a good way to secure larger payloads...

Welcome to the site. Penalty of 5 demerits for grammar error in the title! ARE there many AZ folks here? What quantity constitutes MANY? (Joke) :???:

We are lucky here in Louisiana. We have LIFETIME tags on MVs 25 years old or older. They nail you on the weight for fees but it is only once -then it's free forever after that. Cost $200 plus to register 41,000 lbs.(not including tax) but it is a 1 time fee. I had to fight for it since DMV...

I did 2 small projects today. I installed a air regulator for the air-ride seat and glued a patch on the missing back cargo vent. I used vinyl shower floor liner and Pliobond glue to patch the missing vent cover in the back of the cargo cover. Once I glued it in place i applied one coat of...

I took this picture out of the Owner's Manual:

That's sad but hopefully you got a nice truck.

I am still considering painting the insulation but have not decided yet. So far I have not had any issues with reflection off the insulation. I tested the light tonight when it got dark out. They work fine. Not real bright but enough to help see in the cab at night. Since these light are...

I finally got all the electrical parts in this week. The weather was nice today so it was time to finish installing the Mini-ANL fuse on the line that feeds the 124 volt fuse block. I had to also replace the 3/8" diameter bolt on the battery terminal clamp to a longer one so I could add the...
