    2.5 or 5 ton truck?

    The m809 series trucks with the nhc 250 can run on essentially anything petroleum based as long as you have the correct ratio to get it to a similar consistency to diesel. Many run used motor oil or vegetable oil mixed into their fuel at a low percentage to lower price per gallon of diesel. Your...

    M939A2 Shifting issues

    Video would be good. If it is choppy then that sounds like it is starving for fuel but is odd due to it not happening in 3rd when the converter is locked. I do not recommend changing to dextron. 10w 40 engine oil will allow the transmission to last much longer pushing higher power out of the...

    M939A2 Shifting issues

    It could be shifting too early causing the engine to lug. Try to manually shift it through the gears near redline but let off of the throttle while shifting to not slip the converter too bad. See if it continues when doing that. You may also have a boost leak causing you to lose power without...

    LMTV Smoke Test

    Likely have a shorting wire causing a fault and gets hot. Take all the loom off of the wires and expose as many as possible. Have someone watch closely where the smoke is coming from while you start it up and you should be able to locate the bad wire/ module. If you have a more detailed symptoms...

    Tire options and where to buy

    I have an entire thread on getting lmtv wheels to work on a 5 ton with ctis working. Including taping the valve stems for cores on both sides.

    Tire options and where to buy

    Ken at the MV parts store is a great guy. Still think the MT/T is the nicest miltary tire they make.

    Tire options and where to buy

    If your really good and patient you can get $150 a tire with wheel. Likely more around $300 with wheel average good price. Ken Spencer on the m939 facebook fourms is a good source.

    Tire options and where to buy

    Not sure why they blow out but they do. They seem to have the same or Extreamly similar load ratings

    Definitely the mv/t. Rides smooth and does good on road wear and mud. Michelins blow out.

    Tire options and where to buy

    Never seen them. Also a 395 is about the biggest tire I would want to change on the side of the road by myself. My m932a2 on 395s goes about 68-72mph top speed with governor adjustment. Not too bad on the highway and dont lose power. If going to turn up the engine in the future 16.00 are going...
