    From fire truck to MTV

    Am I guessing correctly that 5kw would be about 3.5 times more than needed at -14F? Right or wrong can you translate what the unit run time percentage would be? I know an oversize unit will drive you crazy especially in a small space.

    5 Ton armor?

    I’ll drop these here, but please don’t blow up the guys in these threads with a bunch of questions. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/m939-cab-armor-kit.136375/ https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/did-they-ever-make-an-armored-cab-upgrade-package-for-m939-series-cabs-i-e-m923a2.125565/...

    5 ton engine question ?

    Just got to thinking, an 855 is going to be heavy for a deuce front axle, with winch would be no way.

    5 ton engine question ?

    I think this really depends on what your intentions are with the truck? The 5 ton should be fine unless you’re going to bob, race, or pull with it. A 2.5 ton “maybe” for an empty cruiser, driven cautiously. Which for me is impossible in a overpowered, “lightweight” vehicle.

    Self recovery with one person, one pickup, and one M939- how to do it?

    Or, a snug fitting tube going through both of your existing tow eyes, with tow-bar axle clamps on the outside of the eyes? Also, before we get you excited and hacking up your bumper, make certain your pickup is flat towable!

    Self recovery with one person, one pickup, and one M939- how to do it?

    Or add a protruding, heavy tab on one side or preferably in the center of the upright.

    Self recovery with one person, one pickup, and one M939- how to do it?

    How wide is the flange (between yellow arrows)on the front of your push bar? If your tow-bar feet will straddle it, maybe build up both sides of the web with plate (in red) then drill a hole for the pins?

    losing prime after a week m929

    Not sure on the TM’s. @WillWagner pointed this out on here years ago and it made an incredible difference in cranking time from my experience. I would dare to guess it would be the same with the mechanical cummins B, Ford, and IH motors that use the same type of injection pumps as well. I have...

    losing prime after a week m929

    Yes, a typical paint gun regulator plugs in between the quick connect on the end of your air hose, and your air tool/fuel tank. Most guys drill their fuel cap for a valve stem and wing it. Adding air pressure until they hear the tank starting to swell, with the tank vents trying to act as a...

    Torque rod emergency repair

    Hopefully you can get the rod back on and weld some junk across it to keep it on, so you don’t have to chain the axle up. Not sure what the frame of the ISO bed looks like or if you can even get chains around it to chain the axle up? But if it’s like the standard beds thin c-channel frame, make...

    losing prime after a week m929

    Same procedure, minus the bleed screw. Air is going in where you see fuel coming out. Just be careful pressurizing the tank, it doesn’t take much pressure to turn a cube into a cylinder.

    diesel in crankcase

    I think thats a bridge truck is why the bed is 10’ wide. Id be curios what the width is at the rear with the tires singled out. Also not sure why you need a block? Likely a piston liner kit or 6. Maybe a rod or two from forcing it over…

    Trouble-shooting the Protective Control Box in a 5-ton

    Sadly I think John passed away quite some time ago. Sounds like your PCB box relay or wiring is bad. Unfortunately running it like you describe has likely fried the ABS, and if an A2 the CTIS as well. Check this thread out. Go to post #26 and use this procedure to start your truck. If your...

    Torque rod emergency repair

    Or have you considered just chaining that axle up if you’re just trying to tow it a short distance?

    Torque rod emergency repair

    I’ve got a torque rod with good ends I’ll trade you for that “junk” truck![emoji6] If you can stabilize that axle with binders front and back, release the brakes somehow, and just pick the whole back of the truck up with the wrecker and see if the drivetrain unwinds.

    Advice on M929 Dump Truck

    The truck loaded will also make an excellent compactor for tracking in your building pads.

    Advice on M929 Dump Truck

    M929 will make a fine farm hauler. You’ll be better off with the nhc250, the 8.3 has a hell of a time getting rolling, overloaded in high range, if it’s soft. You may want the first gen A0 with the dual wheels as well if you’re doing a lot of steep work, and still need to keep your cool and run...
