    M939a1 wheel removal

    I would just do one wheel at a time but if you need to get them all off without anything to put on, then just be careful jacking the truck up and using jack stands. Use the 6 ton ones if you got them. I'm north of 18 on the east side of town, kinda near granite hills H/S, Central rd.

    M939a1 wheel removal

    I use a couple of shovels to get the tire and rim over the hub and on the lugs after walking the tire up to the axle. Don't let it fall over cuz you can't get it up by yourself unless you're superman! The shovels help to get the lug nuts on the rim holes lined up right. I have trouble with...

    Sorry Mike, I can't really tell from the pic. Just make sure it doesn't leak when you apply suction with a vacuum hand pump. (y)

    What did you do to your M939 today?

    I need to get going on some rust spots on my truck. I'll try sanding/grinding off the heavy stuff then use a liquid called Metal Prep to clean the rest then rinse and prime. I think the Metal prep stuff is just phosphoric acid. Your truck looks good!

    Mixing tire brands on truck

    The michelin tires I have are just michelin X not XZL. I was wondering about the difference in circumference of the different tires too especially when put on the rear axles. I would think the differential gears would compensate for that when the tires are different diameter on a given axle...

    Mixing tire brands on truck

    Was wondering if it's okay to mix Goodyear AT2 tires with Michelin X especially on rear axles. All tires are 14X20. I couldn't find anything mentioned about this in TM 9-2320-272-10. It only mentioned tread patterns can be mixed. I'm changing out some dry rot tires. It had michelin xl tires...

    need hemtt Detroit Diesel 8v92ta mechanic near Sacramento

    The Kent- Moore tool part number shown in one of the service manual pics is for a 53 series. A 92 series would have a bigger wrist pin and a different tool and number. it would be a good idea to check those retainers for leaks cuz oil can leak there if not sealed good and then you burn oil. I...

    need hemtt Detroit Diesel 8v92ta mechanic near Sacramento

    The service tool part number is a Kent-Moore tool part number. A mechanic told me to just use a golf ball but I havn't done that yet. It should work. Just make sure there is no leak at the wrist pin retainer or you will get lube oil leaking. How about the sleeve to install the pistons in the...

    Installing 12 volt accessories into 24 volt systems

    Google is your friend. Try searching for Daygreen B20-24-12. That's a 24 volt to 12 volt DC downconverter that can handle 20 amps. That is overkill for a radio but good for extra accessories too. There are 24 volt to 13.8 volt DC downconverters too. You can get them in various amp ratings...
