    M939A2 Batteries

    Hi, I am looking at new batteries for my M929A2. Reading other posts on the forum it sounds like Group 31's are a good choice to replace the military 6LT's. Also read D8's are good but they sound to big to handle easily. The 6LT's I have now are on there last legs and I would like to replace...

    Something to keep in mind are the wheelbases of the trucks. The M939 series tractors and dumps have a 167" wheelbase and the short cargo trucks have a 179" wheelbase. The dump bed and hoists are the same for the M809 and M939. With the exception of the cab protectors. The the cab protector on...

    6CTA8.3 Cold Weather Starting

    Thanks for all the great information. But, what is the correct way to start and harm up a 6CTA8.3 or NHC 250? Is the operator manual correct? When the engine starts cranking should I be pressing down on the gas pedal? Thanks

    New Alternator Problems

    I installed a new alternator I got from CME Arma. When I have Circuit 568 connected the alternator runs super super hot. It also seems like it stays hot when the truck is not running. If I run the truck without the circuit connected the alternator runs cool enough that I can hold my hand on it...

    Air Brakes Question

    Well, I put some miles on the truck over the past two weekends. The dropping primary air pressure problem has not returned yet. I wish it would just start leaking again so I could fix it. On another note I did manage to truck the truck out of fuel. Man it was hard starting that 8.3 Cummins...

    Air Brakes Question

    Hi, Thank for all the good information. Yesterday I took the truck for a spin around the storage lot to build pressure.
