    Newbie Question on charging

    I have to say it, Use the search for this and a ton of possible questions will be answered, Batts are tricky when you know nothing, As for the cost, the proper battery is worth every penny and part of the cost of owning the truck, A proper battery that is sufficient for the truck maintained will...

    pics of m923 with oversize super singles?

    The guys who say the 1600s don't rub any where, are only being honest when driving down a level road, they hit the bed.to each His own, but the 14s were meant for the truck and are the best all around, unless you want a more atable work truck, then the 1100 duels are they way to go,.

    what do you pull behind your 5 ton tractor?

    Pulled an M 60 to a trailer, and then off a trailer for some TV shots when we said we would move an M 60 5 miles for free for the NJ Patersons Marine and Army Vets league to a new park built for them, My 1 five ton moved her fine on flat ground, but we also used my 2nd 5 ton all 3 tow barred...

    Solar panels?

    What truck are you talking about , I know the FMTVs have power points one can plug a 12 volt item into, But not sure if that would handle a 24 volt charge, I know one can put a 12 volt on one bat and not the others when no other charge is available, and it will trickle into other batts...

    Painting a non-MV truck

    I am sure its just me, But if you want answers on this site, I think they are supposed to be Military vehicle or mil stuff related, I personally think it is bad for the site, and brings what its all about to a new low. My opinion. Randy

    usless messages sent to me.

    Since this is said in the forum , I have a response, i think things that pertain to a complaint should be handled with the administrators, Not the general forum, Throwing negs out about what may very well not be there problem does nobody any good, My opinion, :) I hate some new things, and i had...

    M35A2C vs M923

    There is no comparison between the trucks in what you are asking, The auto in the 939 series has more than withstood the test of time and millions of miles in service, they are as tough as anything else, of course driver error can change that in a heart beat, But that goes both ways. The motor...
