    start problem on the 8.3 in my 931A2

    X2...I am betting you have a small leak. Some people have had issues with the pick up tube inside the tank, some have braided lines that have failed, sometimes it can be the primer, a hard line, fitting, filter or select valve. You can make a pressurizing cap or put an air line in the tank and...

    M939 Lift pump, AKA transfer pump priming pump part numbers : M923A2 M925A2 5 tons

    That was the ticket, plus a bad rubber line supplementing the air leak. That is the correct part number.

    Picking M931A2 up from auction. Change oil before driving?

    Was it advertised as a runner? Iw ould not plan on changing the oil unless there was some obvious orifice of contamination...in that case....it should just be towed anyway. I would not change any fluids unless they showed signs of contamination. Just my $.02.

    M939 Lift pump, AKA transfer pump priming pump part numbers : M923A2 M925A2 5 tons

    Poor 1st attempt at recovery: Well....it took me forever to find these and did not see much history. We needed a new lift (transfer) pump for a M923A2, could not prime it and was sucking air. The pick-up tube seemed good and we could power prime it with an electric pump. Checked all fittings...

    Great, now what did I do? (w/pictures)

    Swap/Rotate a good wheel/rim to that location...see if it repeats itself. Then you know if its on the hub or on the tire and wheel combo. I am also guessing your wheel hub is not seated correctly.

    Where can I find a Pintle riser with the shield mount?

    Some quick and dirty measurements. I did not have time to make pretty leaders/arrows (MSPaint=not to scale). Hope it helps.

    Fort Bragg trailer pickup

    Trailer is the light weight HMMWV trailer. Kind of looks like a 3/4 ton with pintle hook. 2300 pounds. Look alot the M1101 trailers. I would need to be able to pick it up as close to 95 as possible (Richond to Myrtle Beach).

    HMMWV Overheat Q's and pictures

    For what it is worth, my 6.5TD reads and works EXACTLY the same. Fan comes on at 215/220 and tops off at 240 but never overheats. I did the same shake down as you, even ran some "water wetter"...still reads the same, but my infrared reader tells me its all about 200 and not 240...I keep an eye...
