Chris, just found out a box of parts I got from gsa has alot of m939 stuff. Stupid little stuff, but parts that go on your truck anyway. I'll se if I can get some kind of list together. If you have parts you know you need, let me know, I'll look.
You the man, Gimp! It's the stupid little stuff that is hard to find sometimes! Let me know what you have. I'll probably buy the whole box from you to have for this and future projects!

1991 BMY M923A2, SOLD
It has been a busy week sourcing parts for the 925A2. I am headed back to Winslow's this Sunday to put in another all day thrash. Hopefully Chad will be able to join me again. He is indispensable when it comes to the wiring.
I went to NAPA today to pick up all of the necessary filters. They were able to cross a Baldwin filter number for the Allison pan filter and gasket. Here are the numbers for future reference:
NAPA Gold Transmission Filter and Pan Gasket - 1892
NAPA Gold Spin-on Transmission Filter - 1268
NAPA Gold Engine Oil Filter - 1649
NAPA Gold Fuel Filter - 3472
I picked my starter up from the shop today too. $157 later, the ground lug was reattached inside the case and the whole thing was cleaned, greased, and tested.
I also have a whole mess of stuff ordered from Integrated Parts Systems, which is a subsidiary of Clark Truck. I priced a bunch of stuff at various places on the net and their prices were right in line. I ordered a new thermostat, thermostat-coolant-crossover molded hose, fuel lift pump, timing cover gasket, turbo outlet-downpipe clamp, and a crank gasket kit.
I also have a remanufactured air compressor on the way. I found one for $319 with a 1 year unconditional warranty.
I picked up a bunch of new brake check valves, and other air brake parts along with a new pump shut-off solenoid from Stonepicker here on SS. Thanks Phil.
AMTAK is sending me a power-steering cooler and a couple of fan-shroud halves.
Finally, I found a good deal on the fan clutch actuator on eBay. I got two of them delivered for $52. Now I have a spare.
Phew! What a load! I am also planning on a work day next week sometime. This is turning into another thrash fest like the 923A2 Stay tuned big truck fans!!

I forgot to mention one acquisition and it may be the coolest of all. It's a solid brass belt buckle with AM General and a M925A2 on the front, which is interesting seeing that they didn't get the contract for the A2's. The back says "Second in a collector series. M939 Truck."
Cool. I'll post a pic later.
Gimp, I haven't forgotten about you. I just haven't had time to look up all of the NSN's yet.

Reason: added AM General
No worries Chris, the parts are just sitting in my barn. I know I have an oil cooler thingy(that looks pretty cool), some axle seals and wipers, some kind of air filters that go inline with the air filter replacement gauge thing, some bearings and races, and U-joints that are HUGE. I haven't looked any farther.

Oh, duh, sorry. AM General didn't get the contract. A bunch of ex-AMG employees submitted the winning bid for the A2 trucks. They then turned around and sold the contract to BMY, a division of Harsco.
