Anyone near Baton Rouge, LA that would be willing to get a M929A2 up and running?

I can check tomorrow once the rain passes.

This is a very odd issue. Any transmission codes on the gear selector? This may be barbaric levels of bashing rocks together but.. drain the transmission system and start it. If the issue goes away then you've validated your transmission based issue. How does the fluid smell?

She did just that today. I replaced the transmission push button selector, pushed fluids as needed, and let her warm up slowly. The transmission needed more fluid in the last video so it was a little sluggish. Both rear left tires fragmented on the idle across the motor pool to no ones surprise...

I'm interested. Send me details.

I stock and mount 395/85r20's in Dallas, TX. @CallMeColt is due to bring his HMMWV up to me for an IP swap and maybe he could bring them to you on his way back. I carry the MV/T and X/XL. 90%-100% tread of various years (2005-2020).

I got her to fire up and runs nice. Good oil pressure and doesn't skip a beat. I have air leaks to tend to, bad tire, check all other fluids, and replace the gear selector from being baked in the sun for 25 years. She may just crawl out of her grave like a champ.

Opposite side of the country for reasons unknown.

I finished this one today. 87' Airforce with the split brakes, A3 rims with 395's, FDC bypass, etc.. the works. I know that power steering has spoiled me in my other trucks but slamming gears in a deuce really brings me back. :driver:

Oddly convenient timing.. the truck was delivered today. Something something birds don't exist.. :unsure: She looks 99% complete and is dry on all fluids. True dry storage. There were a few signs of mishandlings in her past followed by minor age related problems but she aired up from an...

Ive been working with him on it. Another SS member has agreed to clone his TCM in a few weeks in hopes to purge this truck's demon.

No M series designation given. Only one made. It was stripped down to bare rolling chassis and sold when Stewart & Stevenson got out of the business. It was resold a few times and is on the east coast. The LHS concept (later designated M1148 for the 6x6 variant) entered limited production. The...

I won this truck and brought it back to life. Everything works though the tires are about done for. LD-465 N/A engine, O/D transmission, standard t-case, etc there. Axles have been cut and welded to self contained hubs similar to the M656 family though I've not opened them yet to verify. Full...

I'd like to see photos of this machine. There' were some oddball M35 proof of concepts where they used the deuce frame, a 3208 Cat, and a M939 cab. The one I've seen had a built in genset between the engine and transmission. It obviously didn't make it through trials. I have a XM778 and it's a...
