We are too close to California. People are moving here in droves then voting and influencing the same way that made California a place to leave. The DMV has been playing hard ball and I'm just trying to get to the bottom of it as I can't see how they legally can reverse a registration with out...

I am just learning about this from fellow 939 owners getting flack in Reno. I'm trying to learn what is going on. I love SS as many folks here are on it.

I'm getting reports the feds are restricting the registration of 5ton trucks to off road use only. What the **** is going on? Can it be stopped? I'm in Nevada and they are making my truck useless.

Good grief that looks bad, I may be in for similar as my valve sticks for about two three minutes. My air dryer has been out for about 1000 miles and I drained every time I parke. So far not much crud in the system out side a little bit of brown dust in the now failed CITS. A buddy that worked...

Will do

I'm sitting in my 931 and yup it's the valve on the park brake handle is sticking, easy fix.

My 931 has been experiencing occasional failure of the parking brake to release, so I hit the spring brake override (yellow knob on the right side). Then after a few minutes the park brake works fine. I'm thinking I should tear into it before it quits on me. My air dryer is toast and I'm looking...

I just cored a M923 from an auction, after jump starting it ran great everything worked. Later noticed steam and liquid coming from the vent tube, after finding low coolant level found the oil was compromised. I don't know how much made it into the oil but immediately dropped oil and coolant...

Hey Ferro, good thing 251's like all the bigger diesels have bleed cocks on the cylinder heads to make barring super easy. I wonder what those guys on your boat were thinking.

I picked up a M931a2 almost two years ago and it has ATF, it was an assigned truck that has 12k miles on it, it was in the 803rd but last use was Hill AFB, and it ran there as It has a lot of familiar red earth in the nooks and crannies. Ive had no tranny issues but id like to learn more...

My 931a2 has a very noticeable tick when the compressor is running.

I completely tore my unit down and flushed out with a hose and got tons of grit out of it, there seemed to be a lot of corrosion in there from a year of mostly sitting, I operate the truck in a high alkali environment part of the year then near the coast, not so good. I found much playa dust in...

I have a good amount of driving experience with allison equipped units(almost 30 years), the occasional shifting into neutral has caused no problems. As far as this 939 issue if it came to getting into a Oh S**T!! situation, Id much rather damage the tranny than crash the truck, Ive only...
