I recently picked up a 1990 M939 truck. I was wondering if anyone can tell me where I can get a hard copy of the operators & parts manual for this truck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

m35 rollback Actually this is a question. I can no longer find parts for my 1984 mack ms250 midliner rollback, so I have been looking for a different cab & chassis for the bed. A buddy of mine asked me why I didn't just put it on one of my deuce trucks. At first I blew the idea off ,, buy it...

I might have a chance to buy an old deuce. It looks like the pre m35 trucks with the rolled down hood. It is only the cab & chassis. I was wondering if anyone is out there has repowered one of these with a m35 drive train. It sounds like a good project, but I don't want to have to do a lot of...

What do you have & how much? Do you have any pics? Thanks B.Bailey

If ya don't know what it is, how do ya know ya don't need it?:razz:

Valerie works in the battle creek office of DPDS. When govt liquidation was refusing to give out sf97 or bills of sale, she got them to send me a bill of sale. That was what Penn Dot wanted at that time so you could get a title. She seems to go out of her way to try to help out. Best of luck. Beetle

About a year & a half ago I submitted a claim to GL for a deuce that I had bought at Mechanicsburg. They advertised the truck as having 6 thousand miles on it & when I showed up they tried to give me a truck with over 60 thousand miles on it & it looked it. I didn't take it and I filed a claim...

I had the same problem with mine. I tried checking everything from the tank to the cylinders. I should have started at the cylinders. Take a couple of your injector lines off at the injectors. Have someone crank the engine while you watch the end of these lines. If little or no fuel is coming...

I know there are not too many central Pennsylvania members here so I'm sure most of you don't know about this auction. Penn State Univ. is selling two 1982 AM General 5 ton 6x6 trucks. They both presently have dirk manure spreaders for beds. :lol: :lol: They are going up for auction on...

If you are going to drive it any distance, take a good look at the transmission case. I drove mine 30 miles and the tranny puked out all its fluid. Upon inspection we found the case to be cracked completely round the whole tranny. I took it to Protrans here and the owner told me he sees a lot of...

m35 oil pressure One of my deuces oil pressure jumps to 60 psi when I start it & it stays there. The one I just bought jumps to 45-50 when I start it & maxes out at 40 after it warms up . It also fluctuates up & down as I add mere pedal or back off. Is there a potential problem with either...

:!: :!: Help. I need a transmission for a 1986 m1008 cucv. Mine developed a big crack & dumped trans fluid all over.I live in central Pennsylvania so the closer the better.E-mail is beetle55@comcast.net. Will buy or trade. Thanks in advance. Beetle

What do you do with 8 trucks?!!!! You drive them, show them off, & work on them. Depending on where you live they make good chic magnets & they also make you friends almost every place you go. Some one always wants to look & ask questions. Its a great way to meet people. I have found old truck...

No I didn't loose anything. Everyone seems to think I was upset by the description & that is wrong. I'm not new to government auctions. I worked my way through college at an army surplus store in the 70's. Later I worked for Leonard Grove off & on for 10 years.This was in the DPDS days before...

Well guys & gals I heard back from GL today on my claim. Gl agreed with me,the mileage was listed wrong & they are returning my money with no restrictions on my bidding. I want to thank those of you who said I was wrong & I should get the worst for not going to look first.A piece of advice. If...
