The closer you are to a source of these trucks such as Ft Riley, Ft Hood, Ft Polk, etc then the lower their value. Large quantities have come out of Ft Riley and most have been scrapped. Kansas is awash in these trucks. They are barely worth more than scrap value. Having a title or the...
The bronze filter is very hard to clear. Air should not come out the back of the actuator except when the fan is operating and then only a small amount.
I have had this problem on 2 M939A2 trucks and still have it on a a third.. On one it was the line from the tank to the large canister filter. It was deteriorated and had small pin holes that spewed fuel when pressurized ( To pressurize the line I just took it off the canister filter and then...
The temperature at which the actuator opens to direct air to the fan clutch varies with how far the probe end is screwed into the body of the actuator. Screwing it in or tightening it causes a lower activation temperature. When taking it apart to change O rings count the turns required to get...
I didn't know about the rust oleum paint. Is the painted metal behind the cans what you painted with them? It looks very color correct and really flat like the CARC.
The spray paint on the hood was put on back in February so its a couple months old. I'm going to put some of the Behr water based stuff on the hood (when it stops raining) also and see how it looks. The truck had big rust spots with paint flaking off the hood so I had to do something. At this...
The M935A2 truck( Expansible van with lift platform) has a lift platform at the back. Maybe the hydraulic controls it uses could be adapted to your purpose if you can find the control valve parts
Ok Thanks for having a look. I'm pretty convinced it is 383 also. I had home depot mix up samples of 4 other likely colors and only 34151 is close. 383 still looks closer to the right color. I took a chip from the inside of the frame and it seems to be a match for the 383 mixed with Behr...
I'm trying to figure out what paint code is most likely the right color for my M925A2 truck. The truck is solid green all over including underside. I've tried CARC 383 green (34094) from Gillespie and it doesn't match. You can see the 383 I rattle can painted on the hood. I also tried forest...
Spent some time checking out the independence fund's website while making a donation. Very worthwhile charity!! They post their tax returns on the website and these indicate that an extremely high percentage of donated funds (basically all) get used for increasing the mobility of disabled...
Hi Carnac I'm looking for info on an M925A2 5 Ton truck I purchases at Ft McCoy Wisconsin from GL

Changed filters and Transmission now works normal. Hot and Cold fluid checks are normal and consistent. Both filters looked ok coming out but its really hard to tell with a spin on if its shot.
Tashaak you should start a new thread on alternate trans cooling methods. This one is stale. I...
Anybody know where to get one of the little switches inside the transfer case handle? Its the switch the button in the handle pushes on. I have two that are bad, one from my dump truck and another from a scrap truck
Strouty I have the same problem with another truck I have and it appears to me that the large O ring is the problem. I'm pretty sure it is an O ring it just tends to get deformed and flattened. I tried a loose fitting large O ring and got the problem you are having. (Fan on, actuator venting...
Ok the alternators are interchangeable. One problem I encountered though is the older Leece Neville unit had mounting ears .0018" closer together than the SAW alternator. To fix this I had this amount machined off the engine bracket on my 6CTA8.3. This way the engine can accept either...
Did you ever find out if the alternators are interchangeable. I bought an old style to put on an A2 truck and it looks to me like the old style will place the pulley out of line for the serpentine belt
No secret. I just put it in a vise and used a small pipe wrench to unscrew the cap. You will then see a small tube that you grab onto and withdraw. This is the plunger or moving part of the valve. Be careful removing it. I put new O rings on mine and it works fine. However if the...
Ok so you are saying there is enough clearance between the injector pump and the air compressor to get the head bolts up and out of the air compressor? I'll give it a try thanks
