Great topic, JC. Personally, I like safety glasses for anything except beating on metal, grinding on metal, or anything else that can cause high-speed metallic projectiles. I wear a polycarbonate shield in those instances. I have removed all sorts of metallic and non-metallic foreign...

Nice work fellas!

Here are the most current wiring and compressed air diagrams for the 939-series trucks: https://www.absmodtrack.com/m939/uploads/SOMARPI%209-2320-272-24.pdf There are several check and double-check valves in the air supply lines that can stick and allow air to back flow through the compressor...

Sorry Chris, but you're wrong. Mike and I do have a care in the world about the site. As a matter of fact we have invested over a grand in new hardware and software for SS in an effort to improve site performance in the last few weeks. Just because you don't see us logged in on the site every...

It has been a while since I had my 404, but I believe Tag is brake lights only, 0 is off position S1 is parking lights, S2 is driving lights, S3 is ummm... I don't recall, 1 is blackout parking lights and 2 is blackout driving lights. I'm sure David Roberts, Bob Ragain, or Rory will chime in...

I'm going to work on the truck as I get some time if it doesn't sell. So, I will still need some more parts. I may end up driving it back to WV from NC if I still have it when we're settled into Chas. If I do, then I will have to drive it to Black Betsy for a visit.

Hey Josh, Sorry to hear about Arnold and Andy. That explains why they didn't answer my emails when I was looking for some more parts. Good luck with the baby. One of the biggest reasons we moved back to WV was to get my son closer to his grandparents. Chris

Nice work, Brad! It looks like you did a first rate job on the truck. It also looks like you have a great shop to work in. I am jealous of that! Thanks for sharing with us and have fun at IOLA.

Hi JC! Great to see another Charlie town guy on the site. I am in the process of moving back to Charleston with my wife and son. I grew up there too. We moved away in 2005, but couldn't stay away. We still own a house there so it should be an easy transition. Clark Truck is a great...

Good info! Thanks! The entrance is tight, but not impossible. It is easier to turn onto my road than it is to turn out of it. I have driven a 36' moving truck and a deuce in and out of there. The city has regular trash service there and I have seen a tri-axle dump truck down there too. I...

I'll see about adding some new categories for you guys, but in the meantime I changed the name of the forum to "WWI & II 5-ton and Larger" to keep the M-series guys in their own forum :D

Thanks guys. I appreciate the kind remarks. It has been an incredible journey from start to almost finished. Most people would have written the truck off as scrap and probably thought I was nuts when I said I was going to get it on the road again. Well, truthfully, I am a little nuts...

Thanks Bill. The road has a very tight entrance with 2 stone pillars on either side and you turn out into a blind curve on the main road. It was a pain getting the deuce in and out of there and you take a chance of hitting someone by swinging into the other lane to avoid hitting the pillars...

Well, as much as I hate to do it, I am putting my long-running M925A2 project up for sale :( M925A2 5-ton 6x6 Cargo w/ winch - Steel Soldiers::Military Vehicles Supersite I don't have the time or the space to finish it right now and I can't see that changing anytime soon. I am getting ready...

Well, it turns out that I am not going to be able to make it this weekend. A last minute family event came up and I just can't miss it. Sorry I won't get to see you guys this time. I hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable weekend. Chris

One other possibility is that the bolt near the leak goes through the water jacket and is leaking around the threads. You could remove, put some sealant on the threads, and re-torque. If it doesn't go through the jacket, then it sounds like a head gasket or a crack. Hope it is simple and...

I'm in for Saturday and Sunday. Chad is trying to come too. I'll let you know for sure by the end of the month.

Oh heck, if Mike is coming, then I'm out! rofl

I'm thinking seriously about making the trip this year. I didn't think it was a possibility, but now it seems a little more likely. No, it won't be in the 925A2. It's still in NC. I am short on time so if I make it I will roll in late on Friday and head out Sunday morning. I've had Cabell's...

So, I had some more seat time in my M925A2 w/o ABS recently. I drove it for around 10 miles on dry and wet pavement. I was way out in the boonies and there was nothing around except farmland so it seemed like a good time to check the brakes. I was cruising around 50-55 mph and executed some...
