    what r deuce worth now (newbie)

    RE: Re: what r duece worth now (newbie) It depends where you are. Trucks in the NE bring more money...probably more competition up this way.

    Tipper Cover 19207-12302632

    Yes, the cab protector is taller on the M939 series trucks. How much do you want for it? I have two brand new in crate kits, but I am always looking!

    Air Conditioning for M800 series (250-Cummins) trucks

    Those RED DOT A/C units are designed to reduce the ambient temperature in a vehicle from 125 degrees to around 80. So, in Louisiana, if the temps are approaching 100+ or so, that A/C will work just fine even with poor insulation.

    10 ton restored on Alfa

    There are collector's that are exceptions, but most people with whom I have talked who have owned a 10 ton agree with me when I say that a 10 ton is better to look at and talk about than to drive. They are no fun to drive...trust me...overwidth...non-synchro gears...42 mph top speed and very...

    Newbie with an M813A1

    The Castrol oil you mention is perfectly fine. Asking guys about oil is like asking guys about truck manufacturers...Ford vs. Chevy vs. Dodge. If you like one, that is the only way to go. I like Rotella as much as the next guy, but I've also had great service from Mobil Delvac and Valvoline...

    Whistler turbo vs. Non-whistler turbo

    Ken, thanks for pointing these differences some out. Some I knew about...others I had no idea about.

    Whistler turbo vs. Non-whistler turbo

    RE: Re: Whistler turbo vs. Non-whistler turbo I happen to prefer the C turbo because I like the whistle too, but the D motor used to be more desirable. I say used to be because everyone wanted a D motor because of the upgrades until the hobby became flooded with guys and their M35A2s. Before...

    WARNING: if you are a buyer in Maryland

    RE: Re: title M725: I think you misunderstood me. I was the one who told Randy that Beltsville took the paperwork. I am only saying...and I am not sure how to make this more clear without saying it the way I have...go in like you know what you are doing. Understand that others use this...

    Last Chance for M35A3 in Barstow

    Mark: Snatch it up and sell a couple of the CUCVs to pay for it!

    M345 10 ton Trailer

    They are cool trailers, but they sit up so high because of the 1100s! I almost bought one from Winslow a few years back because the trailer was too high for my uses. I wanted to use it like a tag-along lowboy.

    Last Chance for M35A3 in Barstow

    Seems pretty reasonable for someone wanting an M35A3. There must be someone on the west coast that is after this truck. What is GL going to do to you if you back out? I think they are going to hit you with a 25% restocking fee.

    armor tow "hooks"

    Mike, now you need the tracked vehicle tow cable that is supposed to be used with those shackles!

    armor tow "hooks"

    The ones that SERMIS shows are from the M548 in case anyone else looks for them. They could be off of an M113, too...I have no idea, but I know those are the shackles that are on an M548.

    Whistler turbo vs. Non-whistler turbo

    My perfect scenario...D motor (improved pistons and head gasket that is not prone to blowing like the C) and a C turbo (I like the whistle). All in all, I'd prefer the D motor over the C because of the improvements. I've had two C motors that blew head gaskets, but never had a problem with any...

    WARNING: if you are a buyer in Maryland

    M725: The MD DMV office you went to is patently wrong! At least two different DMV offices that I've been to have accepted this paperwork. The FL dealer reassignment form is an official dealer reassignment form issued by the State of Florida. I've never checked, but I was told that they are...

    armor tow "hooks"

    There are various sizes. The ones that fit the M548, for example, are much smaller than those that fit on an M60. The ones on an M548 will fit a deuce, I believe.

    m944A1?

    Did you inspect it? Were all of the tools, machinery and accessories in the back? I could not look and therefore did not bid on it. I know there was another of these trucks up in PA recently...everything had been stripped out of the back.

    Rims from SE Virginia to Gilbert?

    Mike, these are rims for the 1400X20 that go on an M939 series truck. They are fairly big. I'd say that you will need a trailer. Plus, unless Chris has removed the tires, most still have rubber on them. They probably weigh in the range of 300 lbs. per tire/rim.
