    M1009 towing M101A2 trailer

    It has been a while since I had an M1009, and even longer since I towed a trailer with it, but I don't recall the suspension settling any with an empty trailer hooked to it. If it did settle, it was just slightly. I agree with the other poster (quickfarms) that suggested your springs may be...

    M52 Tractor with M172A1 Low Bed

    I believe the M172s have a removable king pin and the trailer should come with both. It has been years since I had one, but I think the king pin is accessible through a door on top above the king pin.

    Non-ether cold weather starting solutions for the 8.3?

    I recently started my M925A2 at 11 degrees Fahrenheit; it had been four degrees that night. The truck fired off on my second try. For what it's worth, I am only using two 6TLs. I hate starting my trucks when it is that cold, but I needed to use it to recover a crate.

    M923 Painted (pics)

    The OP mentioned that he used Gillespie. It is available through a number of sources, but I have purchased it from RAPCO in TX.

    M939 with tac4

    I am fairly sure the MTVRs had C12 Cats while the LVSRs had C15s.

    M51A2 stuck sprag not engaging air problem?

    I asked in the other thread if his sprag worked. I never got an answer. John Winslow, a longtime truck dealer in NC (God rest his soul), used to tell me that a good portion of his 5 tons with sprags were bad. This often comes from allowing the truck to roll forward in reverse or reverse in a...

    M51A2 stuck sprag not engaging air problem?

    Good point. I was thinking more generally, but, you are right...should not be a problem running it continuously for a little while.

    M51A2 stuck sprag not engaging air problem?

    A friend once drove an M923A2 with an air leak and it burned out his compressor. Comparing air leaks is like comparing most things without seeing them.

    Cold weather and no start.

    Do you have two vehicles and two sets of jumper cables? Jump start the truck. As long as your batteries are not totally dead, and it doesn't sound like it, it should start. Then, move the truck to a location where you can troubleshoot/charge/replace/repair.

    Hello from MD

    Welcome from about 5 miles south of you! Regarding the latter, you are talking about an M274 mule. They are really cool.

    Allison transmission shifting issue

    A trip to an Allison dealer is one of the first things I do when I get a truck. I let them service the transmission, check the shift points, and adjust/replace anything they suggest.

    Hello from MD, with Mighty Mits and More!

    Gov planet 803a price.

    I just bought one in June for $1,800. It was a recent reset with like 60 hours on it. It came on the newer HMMWV generator trailer. While mine was fairly cheap, a friend got one of the two generator set ups (generators with fewer than 10 hours on each) for $2,800! Then, a single generator on...

    balance the tires on a 5 ton

    If your A2 has the counterweights, the CTIS should not cause the tires to be out of balance.
