I appreciate your two cents and think practicality should be taken into consideration. When I hear about moving an axle I start to cringe quite honestly. Probably simple for some folks here but not for me. Pulling the M939 empty is not bad even with the brakes caged from a drive ability...

I figured I should make a separate post to discuss this further... http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?145159-M989-Trailer-to-camper-project&p=1773344#post1773344

We have a M989 trailer and are playing with the idea of using it as a camper platform with room for an off road buggy of some type. A modified M931A1 is the plan for the tow vehicle which was modified by the fellow we purchased it from. Hopefully this thread documenting our "adventure" will...

Thanks, we're playing with the idea of finding a military shelter of some type to put on it leaving room for a small buggy. Any thoughts?

it's just as loud as the truck...

Thank you, the wife seen it on the side of the road while on vacation in FL and insisted we(she) get it...it's hers! Needless to say it took much longer to get home than it did to get there. It's an '81 m931 with some customizing performed by the fellow we acquired it from. It came with a...

Glad to hear Djones got the dogbone issue straightened out. It was awesome to see so many folks under the truck helping him out. That's what makes the steel soldiers a special group.

Great people & great times...

I would recommend not driving it until you have addressed the root of the problem and any damaged wiring. The wire insulation may be compromised at any point along the harness and should be thoroughly inspected. Having an unexpected electrical fire while driving could be hazardous to your...

Looking for tachometer cable and zipper type front axle seals for M939 A1. if anyone has a black cargo cover for the same model truck for sale that doesn't cost a limb or first born, that would be great.

They'll call out the drones if necessary. However most officials just smile & some even salute when they see our MV rolling past.

Congrats!

I believe section 715-1 and forward regarding the dump hydraulics in the manual below may be of interest... http://www.steelsoldiers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=462285&d=1384399751 A section on the winch is located earlier in the manual, I don't remember the section number but the table of...

I'm a newb like you but have learned quite a bit from this site and digging into the manuals. Moist air will cause sticky air valves & air switches which will manifest itself in quirky issues like you are experiencing. It's also a good idea to drain the air system using the four petcock valves...

It would be cool if we could load up some trucks & chug down the river with them when they pass through. Have a landing demonstration & drive back.

Thank you, I already installed the new type soon after acquiring the truck a couple months ago. The expel valve was sticking and it was 5 years old.

The trucks were quite a hit with the kids of all ages...

And hearing protection.

I'm sure that's enjoyable to assemble while you're freezing your *** off.
