IIRC, spec is 8psi at hot idle. Typically you'll see more like 30psi. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/what-does-your-oil-pressure-gauge-read.140170/

I'd take the M1102. As LID says above, with care you can fork them from the end without damage. I've done it.

That should be about 57-58mph. Speedo is going to read about 10% to the low side at any given speed.

The wheels appear to be LMTV rims.

1984 isn't an A2. Albert's post quoted here is the correct info.

Doesn't sound unusual to me. Fairly typical of NH250s. I've had several.

When applying the parking brake lever , it also dumps the air from the springbrakes. This is what you're hearing. Unlike a deuce, the 939series 5tons primarily use the springbrakes as the parking brake.

You are aware that the front service gladhand is supposed to vent, and that removing that vent will cause the brakes to grab?

Sounds a lot like the discussion about MTVRs before they were released. But in general I agree with you. I'll be shocked to see them released in my remaining lifespan. Changing topic, to the OP's original question - I don't think $10k is going to get a 4man variant that doesn't need major...

Sounds implausible, right? Except that quite a few things that were considered "zero probably events" happened. HMMWVs sold without shredding, MTVRs being surplussed, and the list goes on. So I wouldn't bet long odds against it.

1) The sprag t-case works fine. They're a little fragile, and very intolerant of rolling backwards while in a forward gear. My understanding is the only way to go to an air shift t-case is a t-case swap. I've been stuck in a truck with a sprag t-case and it turned all 10 wheels in forward and...

When you lack enough experience to develop opinions of your own and you're forced to make decisions relying on the opinions and experiences of others, it is best to solicit opinions from as many sources as possible. (Referring to the OP) I've had a bunch of these trucks (5t and 2.5t) with tires...

Others' opinions regarding 395s on stock rims - https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/395s-on-stock-5-ton-rims.100979/

The deuce is really impressively capable even on 9.00 NDTs and open diffs. There's also something to be said for 5 spares instead of one. If your current tires are serviceable, I'd delay a tire upgrade until you can go all out on it. Just my opinion.

395s are designed for a wider wheel. I strongly advocate against it, although I have seen it done. My choice would be MRAP rims and adapter plates. If you must remain with the stock wheels, consider 11.00's.

I like the winch... Brakes are the first thing to examine in detail.

14.00s are getting scarce and expensive. The military doesn't use them any more so it's only going to get worse. For a truck that's a toy, 16.00s are my choice. For a truck that actually works for a living, 395s. My M925 is on 16.00s and I like them a lot, but they rob the bottom end...

Good 395's on LMTV rims should be $300-$400 each. 16.00's on HEMTT rims should be around $500 each (and won't rub up front on 939series trucks). A full set of 10 11.00R20's on the standard 5ton rims should be $2100ish. 14.00's are a poor choice at this point and I'd advise you to avoid...

I've done all 6 at once more than once(even using the jackstands that were recalled later!!!) That being said, I'd avoid it if at all possible. Here's what I'd do in your position- I'd get a set of 395s on LMTV rims and swap each one out one at a time. Then sell yours as a set. What you have...
