Any good anti freeze designed for diesel engines will suffice. Look for a brand that contains SCA, or purchase a bottle of SCA and add to the mix. Tractor Supply has a decent coolant for diesels.

Welcome from Kentucky, lots of good tech data on this site. Click of the mouse will find everything. Thank you for your service. Have fun. JC

307.2 inches in length. All the manuals with all this good info are in the "tech manuals" section of this fine site.

There's a couple new HEMTT owners among our ranks, both got cargo versions, these kits really complete the rear unit. The staves are steel also. Makes a real sturdy cover assembly.

Dave, They are HEMTT bows, had them on a covered rear body at Brads place. I also took delivery of a 5 ton that had them installed, they work well on a 5 ton cargo. JC

- while saying, "hey ya'all! Watch this!

That's going to leave a mark. Glad the pilot is OK, no post crash fire. Tail wheel is extended, that indicated the gear handle was selected to "down". Main gear may not have been "down and locked". -Or, the gear handle was selected "down" after all the screeching and banging stopped. I hate...

Maybe with a pressure washer, work at the loose chips and don't stay on the good paint, take a little finesse, and the right pressure/spray pattern.

PM sent, could use some small parts.

Don't sweat it, I've had them installed in autos for over ten years. Been working in big trucks for several years w/ zero issues. Dust cap in a smart idea, keep the bugs out.

Any prototypes yet? Spare parts are a must.

The lube order is covered under the M939 Tech manuals as listed on this site. Lots of good information there. You will have more questions, the manuals for these vehicles are all there. (80/90 GO)

Anyone collecting/operating MVs has issues. As the old saying goes, "if it's got tits or wheels, it going to give you problems".

The brakes do not need to be "disabled". They are not spring brakes. Towed several with F350. They are a little heavy.

There are rebuild kits out there, better to have a shop go through it. Double check the rest of the truck. All my trucks have certain rattles/chips, squeaks, produced by cowls, hoods, panels, etc. They come and go depending on RPM.

If it only produce the chip when warm, warm up the engine and then disconnect the inlet/exit tubing from the turbo and spin it by hand, you may feel it drag also. Or use a rod to act as a stethoscope and listen.

Belt chip from alternator pulley,? - try spraying a little water/lube on it and see if it changes/ceases. If not might be a turbo compressor rub.

Fomoto makes a nice one with a spigot/nipple collar. I believe it is p/n T203N (nipple). Double check their web site.

By the look of those pictures; if that ditch thaws out, that truck will be on its side. Be very careful working next to that vehicle.
