    Quick tips on getting parts for m939s

    In my experience, with the exception of COTS parts, its easiest just to go straight to the manufacturer of the part. For example, all of the CTIS parts are still available from Dana/ Eaton if you're willing to pay for them. Heck, the Military Sustainment rep sent me the Bill of Materials for...

    Batteryminder OR Solargizer?

    I had a solargizer on the M35A2 that I had, which was great until the solar panel died. I switched it over to a trimable 24V, 50W (2A limit) power supply to do the same job. Much more reliable, but it means you have to remember to unplug it before you leave.

    I was Stuck in the mud

    Yep. The axle rebuild pictures were "interesting", to put it lightly.

    Many Power Outages in North Carolina

    No genny needed here in VA, we got pure snow. None of that other garbage, so I feel for you guys down in NC.

    M923a2 Air Dryer rebuild

    I need to rebuild the air drier on my new-to-me 931a2. I've found that you can get the kits through NAPA for the same price as found at Amazon.

    Pulling Tanks with The M816

    that's cool! At first glance of the subject I thought you meant armor, not storage.

    Disc breaks anyone?

    this looks like a very well thought-out system. Personally, I'd rather switch to air-actuated drums, but these do give that idea a run for the money.

    Got rear ended, totaled, parting out

    That sure looks like it put a hurtin' on somebody. Glad that you are okay. You are sure that your stop/turns were active and working, right? I know that it can be easy to forget to turn them on if you're in a hurry.

    Universal adjustable fuel sending unit?

    considering that the M880 is based on the W200 of the same era, you might do as well to look for one from the civy truck.

    Flex fuel in a multi-Fuel...?

    E85 will probably not work in a deuce in any appreciable quantity. Its effective octane is so high (100+) that its doubtful that it would reliably ignite in the chamber. The high octane is why people with turbo-powered cars can tune for it and make more power than on 93 octane. As was already...

    different colored diesel and low sulfur fuel

    You can change the color, but I believe that the fuel can be tested for the presence of dye, regardless of appearance.

    Relocating heater intake duct inside cab?

    Not always. If you're simply heating the cab, recirculating the air works very well. On the other hand, if you're to defrost you are better off using the outside air, as the humidity is likely lower.

    CARNAC's Deuce

    I think 8 11.00 XLs in the back with those wheels up front looks the best on the A2, but I'm probably biased :D

    Gauging Intrest in Fiberglass Deuce Hard Tops...

    I'd be interested in a two-piece top if it were <$500. Two pieces makes storage much simpler, and my current hard-top is showing its age.

    winter rediness

    I'm putting a defroster in mine for sure. I don't mind the cab being cold, but I can't stand the windshield icing over. Going to use a heater core from the boneyard and two 12V fans wired in series. I'll be surprised if I continue to have issues with windshield icing after that. As for...

    395's front only

    Different sizes won't hurt and air-shift case, but could cause worlds of trouble for a sprag case. Also, I put 14.50s on the front of my deuce with dual 11.00s in the rear (just like m1075's setup was) and I really like it. The A3 wheels and tires up front makes steering easier I think, and...

    injection pump rebuild kit?

    I'm getting the set because all of the seals are rock hard. If I'm going to be working on the IP at all, I'm going to make sure that not only does it keep fuel in, but keeps water and other junk out.

    Question about High Oil Pressure

    Its possible with a spin-on kit. Also, my Multi runs about 40psi on the 60psi gauge when running.

    injection pump rebuild kit?

    Hi all, I've been looking for a rebuild/ gasket kit for the LDT's injection pump. Saturn surplus appears to be out of stock, and I haven't been able to find them anywhere else. The IP is leaking like a sieve and with diesel at $4 I'd really like to get it fixed. TIA,
