I drove that last week in a M931A2 pulling an m109a3 on towbars. The construction was HORRIBLE. It was the worst part of the whole trip. I 20 in TX around the Midland/Odessa area is also no fun. Try to time it so you don't have to stop there - everything is expensive, from fuel to $150 a night...

This ended with the bank's fraud dept refunding $5000 to me and Ebay telling me "too bad" on the $1000 that went through them. Oh, and I'm out a $300 plane ticket. A $1300 lesson. Learn from my lapse in judgment instead of making your own....

I'm just off I-10 in Tucson. PM sent...

I had that come up once with GL. I figured since it was an A2 that most likely it was a 1990 and gave it my best guess and they gave me a title...

I put gorilla tape on one and it held for months in Tulsa and lasted for the 1000 mile drive from Tulsa to Tucson. I considered it a semi permanent fix until I got it in this climate. Here it turns to goo...

En route and still empty after Waco.....

I really don't think the 939series are heavy enough for the OP 's purposes. I think artisan is going the right direction with 916s or possibly a HET.

The first time I got I to a 939series truck I did too. This isn't the first of these things I've driven. It's so similar to the cargo and expand expandible van variants and the other differences were accounted for in my mind: "ok, there's the trailer brake and there's the fuel tank selector"...

Knowledge is power, absolutely. The TMs are generally the source of MV knowledge. Thing is, it usually isn't what you don't know that bites you. What bites you is what you think you know that is wrong. I come out of this with more knowledge than going in. Nobody injured, no equipment...

So today on the side of the road I learned that the switch to the left of the steering wheel on M931A2s changes where the fuel gauge reads, but NOT where the fuel feeds from. That function is performed by a nice little lever to the left rear of the driver's seat. Extreme caution should be used...

Sorry, my "4" answer was based on milspec CARC. I'm glad others chimed in with more relevant info. I watch with interest.

Jason does a very good job on packaging. He double boxed a microscope and put padding between the boxes. ....

He didn't do much. The only thing he managed to damage was the door to the forward right toolbox. In all seriousness it was a successful recovery of an M934A1 for a fellow SSer. From Nellis AFB back to Tucson/phx. While I was there I picked up some NOS cummins blocks and a hmmwv hardtop...

Note the stenciled name on the passenger glass...

As funny as this story is I find it pretty disturbing on a certain level. If he'd try to deliberately destroy the engine in your truck, what would he do to your cat or dog?

Taking my M925 to grab some stuff from Nellis. Not a whole lot of room left over after 7 Engine Blocks and a hmmwv turtle top but perhaps I could squeeze something in. I'll be going back to Tucson afterwards.
