As far as I have been able to tell, the USMC never used the M939A2s, but the USN did. Perhaps, they rebuild trucks for the Navy. The Navy Seabees, in particular, had a number of them. I once had a Seabees M925A2.
Yes, Lane Young in Michigan purchased an M149A2 for this same purpose. I am drawing a blank right now on his screen name. Perhaps, someone from Michigan will chime in. If I think of his screen name, I'll post again. If you don't have any luck, PM me and I'll give you his phone number.
The M939A2s were made from 1989 through 1992 so that should limit it some. I have seen a few A2s listed as 88s, but I don't think that is correct from the people I have spoken to. I know the guy who bought out BMY after the A2 run and he has all of the records. While I will try to help find...
I have one that looks to be reconditioned by the military (that is how I bought it and I never used it). I'd take $450 for it. It is in a wooden crate and would cost some bucks to ship, I'd suspect (fairly heavy/large). I won't charge you any handling, but you pay actual shipping. Another...
I was reading this thread because I was curious about the problem and solution. While I don't have anything to add regarding the solution, I think it is almost Impossible for any overfilling of the fuel tank to affect the transfer case in anyway. I am not sure how fuel from the tank would get...
I have heard from guys in the military that it is much easier (translation = less paperwork and justification) to scrap a truck rather than turn it in. These guys (one NG and the other active duty) told me that the paperwork and scrutiny is more intense if they are turning a truck in as opposed...
That truck probably was with several units throughout its life. Gently and carefully sand down the bumperettes (or the front bumper) and hopefully you'll be able to track the units the truck was with.
Try getting a title these days for a truck without one...especially a military vehicle. It used to be very easy. There were several companies that could help you get a title, but most or all of them have been unavailable to help. So, yes, I offered a blanket statement to help him. If you...
Depending upon your truck, it can vary. Your truck may have the older (but better) and recently retrofitted M809 series filter under the fender. There should also be a spin on filter located on the driver's side of the block (back toward the firewall). Then, there also may be a small inline...
I believe they will fit on the truck, although I have never done it so I hope someone who has will confirm this. I do not believe that the 1600 spare will fit in the 1400 spare tire carrier. The A2s are not overpowered as they are and you are going to rob it of even more power...not sure you...
With regard to the power, have you changed your filters? If not, do so. Also, make sure you burn any old fuel through or empty it out (which would be better). I also suggest adding some good diesel conditioner.
