So, pulled a dumbass 939 series rookie move. The dipstick on the 931 a 2 I just picked up today was about halfway between full and add so I decided to top it off. Looked at the overall capacity but, like a dumbass, didn't read the freaking dipstick that said add 2 quarts at the low mark. I added...

Ok need clarification/updated info. 1980 M916 - Lube order says (best I can tell) straight 30 weight oil. Is that STILL good info or is there something better for the Cummins NTC 400?

Hi, in the market for a truck to pull my m129a3 trailer and was looking at all the tms I could find to determine if an M916 is too tall (5th wheel height) to haul an M129a3. Haven't been able to find data on the 5th wheel height for that or an m818. For the trailer, it lists the "upper 5th...

Need y'alls advice/knowledge/expertise/opinions. Gotta pick up an M129 and get it from WI to MI. Have two different scenarios, being that the 5 ton tractor I was planning to borrow/use is suddenly out of commission. Neither of which are ideal, to be sure but here they are: 1 - Take the bed...

Hoping that someone sees this fast and is able to help. Can I swap my non-working old style tail light from my deuce for a tail light off my m1082 lmtv trailer that says "12 volt" on the back if I put new 24v bulbs in it? I believe all the blackout lights are LED anyway. Will the rest of the...

Can any of you fine individuals assist me with identifying this spring that came with my deuce in one of a couple of unlabeled random Parts bags? Any chance it's the parking brake arm spring? Doesn't look like the diagrams in the TMS or parts list but that's where I happen to have a spring...

Good morning and thanks in advance for any suggestions. Got a Deuce with plastic wiper motors, driver's side is starting to get "sticky", assuming from swelled o ring because of oil in the system (another story). It works if I crank up the air to warp speed but doesn't take too long to...

Looked around on the forum for folks doing mods to try tandem trailers and didn't really find what I was looking for so I'll throw this latest brainchild out there for suggestion and scrutiny. Welcome to coffee talk Topic of discussion - What are any thoughts you would like to share on...

Been looking through threads trying to find tips on putting an IR light on my A2 but haven't been very successful. Need recommendations on location, wiring, etc. I was looking at putting is on the bumper between the headlight and turn signal and then using the wiring from the blackout driving...

So, fuel experts out there, here is the order of operations so far on 250+ gallons of free fuel oil off of craigslist (10+ years old), -pumped (unfliltered) out of original tank leaving the bottom 5-10 gallons of sludge/water(?) (opened the petcock until dark fuel oil was coming out before...

My deuce came with the spin-on oil filter upgrade already done and the old system/parts came with it. Was thinking of trying to set the dual filter system up to filter WMO to run in the truck. Most of what I have read suggests 5 micron or less filtration but do the filters for that set up...

Looking into putting a 250 gal fuel oil tank in the front of the bed between the seats. Been looking for threads about this and nothing that I've seen (yet) is quite what I'm looking to do. Got a pm in to a guy who was talking about doing it with a 300 gal tank but haven't heard anything back...
