good to know, thank you. managed to find some of the 1/2 lugs after reading your reply

So what is the benefit to bypassing the PCB? I understand if it’s the old generatior style unit but don’t the modern alternators have safeties in place? I’m currently doing the swap and was just trying to figure out where to go with my hot lead. I was going to take it to the starter but the post...

100% must be street legal/DOT. Truck is going to be a farm truck on silage wagons etc around the farm. It will seldom see pavement or night driving. must also pass a CVIP. Just looking for decent light and to pass inspection

Im just wondering what all the hype is about with the LED headlights? i mean....are they really that much better? I have been looking and i can buy cheap junk from amazon for $150 +/- or to get decent ones im looking at $4-600. could somebody enlighten me why these are so much better than a old...

Fair enough, thank you. I thought that they mostly had the 8.3L turbocharged engine. The older engine should do the trick so long as I can get her to start in the great white north as I have heard they can be cold blooded. It’s going to be mostly a farm truck and I’ll probably drive to some 3...

Hey guys, I am new to the MV world, I have looked but never actually purchased one for myself. I am currently wanting to go look at a 931A? having spoken to the seller on the phone it sounds like its an older A1 that was refurbished but never received the newer cummins. from what I'm being told...

I should be able to just go through the trailer and replace the lights with 24V bulbs and be good to go though, correct? I know on a truck/power unit its not that simple to switch to 12V but the trailer should be pretty easy to change over right?

thanks!, i didn't know about the wedges/tilt feature. that will actually come in very handy for some of the places on the farm that i would have to do a short haul with hay on through the river flats (about 7 miles). I suppose that the extra height could cause problems for non military trailers...

Hey guys, thank you for the advice so far! much appreciated. I do have the CDL so i do know to look for the things like air brake leak test, compressor building pressure, governor and all that sort of thing plus everything on the standard walk around, tires, cracks in the frame, leaks.... I was...

Hello, I recently found a M931A?, not sure if its a 1 or 2 for sale at a price that I am having a tough time saying no to (he is asking about $9,000 USD). which i think is pretty good if the condition is as good as described. The owner is not a "MV guy" and cant really tell me too many details...

im a fan of the M81X trucks also....but if you want to do mud and stuff...i wonder if a deuce would be better suited as it is a fair bit lighter i believe and still 6x6 and bada** just a though, im just a fellow newb without a military truck

NICE, thanks guys! i will have to get on contacting some of these people and start doing my hw so when i get out of school and start working...i can just figure out what i want and start going through the motions of getting it here. Lex_ordo, do you know where those DND trailers can be bought...
