    M936 crane cable

    Is it appropriate to use elevator cable for the booms on these trucks? Found what I think is a pretty good deal on some US made elevator cable, just wanted to ask if anyone knew of any reason not to use it. I don’t have much info on it, was hoping someone on here was familiar with it. Figured...

    002 or 003 if you could just have one

    Would a 002 at 75% load use more or less fuel than a 003 at 25% load? I am leaning toward the 003 as it seems slightly quieter with less vibration. However my main concern is fuel usage. I know a 003 uses 1 gallon/hour and a 002 uses 1/2 gallon/hour under full load, just not sure about partial...

    Fram CH6PLfor 003a/002a only $.50 at TSC!!!

    Just a heads up. All my local Tractor Supply stores have their Fram oil filters on clearance. Not sure if regional or nationwide. I picked up several Fram CH6PL for my new 003a for only $.50 each. To bad they didn't have the fuel filters as well.

    Have a non running M1078 at Ft Gordon GA if anyone wants to pick it up and take it approx 60 miles to the GA Rally so I can pick up from there on Saturday. Gordon GP rep only allows Friday pickups before 2pm and that's not working to good with my schedule. Would be really nice to know pickup...

    M939 pintle fit M1078?

    Does anyone with both trucks know if a pintle hitch off a M939 series truck will fit on a M1078? I have a drop down receiver hitch that fits in place of my pintle on my M931. Thinking about buying a running M1078, and wondering if factory pintle hitches are the same. If so I could tow my...

    Anyone swapped a fuel tank for a toolbox?

    Thinking about installing another toolbox in place of the passenger side fuel tank on my 931. I never use that tank anyway for fear of developing a leak in the tank switching valve that's so common in tractors. I thought about using the back toolbox off a 923, but would rather have something a...

    Front axle not engaging, not air related.

    M939 Front axle not engaging, not air related. I found out the hard way that the front axle on one of my a2 trucks does not engage, it involved getting stuck behind my house. After spending several hours troubleshooting the issue I believe it is something inside the transfer case. With the air...

    Broke down possible compressor failure

    I've been stuck in Salem VA since around noon today. Possible compressor failure. Had been driving fine for almost 4 hours then ABS light came on. A little later all CTIS lights start flashing, then my wiper quits. So I pull to check things out. PPV valve not leaking, pulled guts out, started...

    M1009 seat belt upgrade by Military?

    Anyone ever heard of a CUCV seat belt upgrade performed by the Military? Recently picked up a m1009 that originally came from Ft Jackson SC, and noticed it had different style seat belts from every other truck I've owned. Thought it was just a unit level upgrade until I found these blueprints in...

    I just added a 12v alternator to power my bed crane, lights, backup camera, etc and am in the process of wiring it all up. It is a 60 amp 1 wire alternator and I want to wire in a 24v relay to turn it off and on with the trucks master switch. Since its a 60 amp alternator I need a continuous...

    Turbo identification

    Picked up a spare engine with what I thought was a C turbo. After getting it home and looking closer I'm not so sure. All Ive see before were C and D turbos, and I know this isnt a D, but not so sure its a C either. Could it be an LDS turbo from an older 5 ton? Has a rebuild tag from Tead dated...

    Installed a pyro, got a surprise!

    I bought a late model M35a2c out of WR a while back. Truck was bone stock, FDC still hooked up, safety wire still on the IP. I was always amazed at the power the truck had, rarely had to downshift pulling a grade. Decided to bypass the FDC before it started making oil, and since every other...

    AF M35a2c brake light switches

    I have a question for those of you who have converted to the air style brake light switch on late model M35a2c trucks. Did you replace both switches or just one, and if one which airpack did you choose? I don't see the point in installing 2 switches, other than redundancy if one fails. My...

    CUCV style charging on a deuce

    I plan on adding a 2nd alternator for 12v accessories to my deuce and am kicking around the idea of dropping the 24v alt and using two 12v alts, one being an isolated ground like the CUCV charging system. I dont really have the room for a 3rd battery right now (2 Hawkers in the battery box so...
