    Pop off valve sticking, need correct term for the TMs

    Pressure protection valve opens the secondary side at 70 psi and supplies air to the wipers and horn and governor. At 120psi the expello valve sneezes. If the PPV fails, the sneeze never happens and you get pressure to 150psi at which point the pressure relief valve opens. What i think...

    53” tires

    The M818 speedo is calibrated for 11.00's. It'll read much lower than the 939A2.

    Need some help picking a generator for single-phase and 3-phase use

    If you want to play with gensets, and to also have a source of power when the electricity goes out, get a MEP802. You'll probably get additional gensets as well. It's as bad of a disease as the green trucks... If you want seamless power with no fiddling and no thinking about it, a propane...

    prices on 1097a2 vs 1152

    You're paying a lot of premium for the ability to comfortably cruise at hwy speeds for something that's primarily for "tooling around the lake and two track". JMHO.

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

    The two rectangular holes in the pipe on your bumper could be filled with a 1/2" steel flat plate to provide mounting surface for 5ton type tow bar attachment points. That's how I'd do it if I were using your bumper. Here's a pic of the redtruck's rear bumper, made to be compatible with...

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

    You should have two recessed flat plates on your RH bumper. Fab a bracket for your towbar to grab and bolt it here. I've got a couple I fabbed. I'll post pics when I get home this evening

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

    I've done this quite a bit. I used a medium adjustable towbar and tow the pickup behind the 5ton.

    Just got my first MV!

    Bleed and inspect. Replace anything questionable. These trucks have a single circuit system. Any leak or failure loses all your brakes. I've done it at highway speed. Once. It was more fun than anyone should be allowed to have.... Which fluid is in them currently?

    Just got my first MV!

    Did you get a cargo cover with it? That looks like a fantastic truck. The winch really adds to it. I prefer the manual transmission in the 809 series to the 939's automatic. And that NH250 sounds a lot better than the 8.3 liter school bus engine in the M923A2... If you go to sell those...

    Putting larger tires on the deuce using stock rims...

    My understanding is 11.00 NDTs don't rub the pivot. My experience is 11.00 G177s do. Other people have posted they've used 12.00s without problem.

    I think he can get away with 12.00R20s.

    Cummins NHC 250 versus Cummins 6CTA8.3

    I've had bunches of trucks of each type. 8.3 gets better fuel mileage. My almost 40k wrecker with the 8.3 gets substantially better fuel efficiency than my 23k M925 with NH250. 8.3 holds speed better when already at hwy speed and hitting a hill. Loaded heavy and slow, off road? NH250...
