WW, I look forward to the day when I can take that video clip for you! Hopefully it will happen in January. We've got it cranking. It's just a matter of getting fuel to the injectors. The fuel tank has been cleaned out. I have fresh fluids and filters ready to go. One thing I want to do...

My 1970 XM818 had the tube-type. I am a big fan of the flat-bar-type myself. I also remember reading an article in Army Motors years ago where DD mentioned that the USMC requested the bar-type.

Bjorn, thanks for the pic. That looks like the one we just put on. I'll be sure to open the vent. David, I think I have a line on all of the engine parts that I need. I should know soon. I have a feeling this truck was used as an equipment mover by the Seabees. They have that beefy hitch...

Thanks Bjorn. I saved the control box for you. I thought you might want to inspect it for failures as well. The connector was corroded on there pretty good. I had to use some Kroil and a pair of Channel Locks to get it off. The sealant around the edge of the bod just crumbled and rust...

Thanks David. I'll be glad to have your help because it will be crunch time for Aberdeen!! Here are some updated pics courtesy of Chad. It looks much better with the gauge cluster in the cab!! I need to drill a hole in the cluster to mount the CTIS Over Speed light once I track one down. I...

:-D Will do Chuck. I promise I will do a big photo update the next time I am down there. In the meantime, Chad will provide a few new shots to satiate your photo needs! Thanks for the offer. The truck is at John Winslow's place and that is east of Halifax, NC down 561 highway. I'll shoot...

My Dad and I drove down to Winslow's today and met my Chad for a work session. We knocked out a couple of seat swaps and a tach install on Bkubu's M109A3 and then promptly waded into the 925A2's dash gremlins. Chad was a soldering machine! We traced down the last of the gauge and switch...

Fantastic explanation! It's an honor to have you as a member here, Charles. Welcome to the family. I know you will be a great contributor to the site.

Hi Larry. I removed the site references from your post. We ask that members don't post the exact location of items on GL. If you need an item previewed, then you can make a post in the Preview forum asking for a "Preview at XXXXXX Location." Thanks for understanding.

Glad you got them to fit David. Do they rub any at full lock? I'd say you might hear some rubbing off-road with the axles crossed up. They look great though.

Hi Chris. Give Gay's Tire Service a call. They are in Moultrie, GA. They usually have good radials in stock and are nice folks to deal with. http://www.gaystireservice.com/index.php?pr=Military_Radial

Glad you got her home!! I know it looks intimidating. Trust me, nobody knows how intimidating a 939A2 truck project can look like me :wink: I've been known to drag home the roughest looking hacks out there to make them new again. We can get through this together. :-P I can't believe nobody...

He's on here quite a bit. You could just send him a PM.

Thanks Sheldon. It's just up the road from you too :wink:

The project is finally winding down!! There are a few finishing touches to be done, but it is looking really good now. Here are some fresh pics for you guys!! I should have some engine and interior shots next week. Final price: $13,000 ready to rock and roll. Tommy can sandblast and...

Congrats Joe. I'm glad to know it wasn't completely stripped of all the goodies before being sent to DRMO. I can't wait to see the pics.

The little box with the lever and wheel on it actuates the air shift front axle automatically when the t-case is shifted into low range. The dash switch allows you to select the front end when in high range.

Jay, Here's some snippets from the TM showing the wiring for the t-case interlock solenoid. It looks like 585 goes into the switch and 586 comes out of it. Then, 586 runs under the cab to the solenoid on the t-case. You should be able to tap into the harness under the dash at one of the...
