For what it's worth, they are terrible in tight spaces. The LWB makes them tough to maneuver. Also, watch out for the bed overhang as it really swings out when you make tight turns.
Only the A2s have the 6CTA 8.3 Cummins motors. Ted is right...all M939 series have Allison transmissions and a Cummins motor (the A0 and A1 had the NHC250, while the A2 had the 6CTA). All have air brakes. Only the A1 and A2 have super single tires...although you can convert an A0 to A1 status...
I once visited a website...wish I could find it again...that showed pics of two HEMTT wreckers dragging a tractor trailer combo with its brakes locked up an icy mountain road in Croatia, Serbia, etc...one of those areas. Anyway, the guy who created the website was in the Army at the time and...
Welcome to the site.
I agree...soft tops are my preferred choice...unless we're talking about dumps. For some reason, I always think that a dump looks better with a hard top...probably because of the cab protector.
There is a valve on the passenger side of the transmission and also on the transfer case that works to shift the sprag from forward to reverse. I have had the valve on the side of the transmission stick. Usually shifting back and forth a few times from first to reverse will cause it to...
GE, he who screams the loudest is not always right. I see your reputation from your brothers in Lousiana precedes you and is accurate. I was unsure what they meant until now.

When someone registered really has little to do with being a newbie. How much that person has contributed is more relevant. MKCOEN has posted relevant information and has been a productive member of this site.
I stand by my point. The guy (and other guys like him) come here and want the easy answers. I am not saying that I don't come here for answers when I can't figure something out, but I am not going to expect others to do work for me. I will try to figure something out and if I am unsuccesful, I...
Hmmm...I'm one of the a-holes because I don't feel like simply spoonfeeding you the simple answer that you want. Do your D A M N homework! I had to. Others apparently learned this way. You want something...figure it out. Watch the auctions. Simply suggesting that is probably giving you more...
I think they would. You know why? Because guys would still have to look for the answers. That requires effort. I say that with 100% certainty because even watching GL counts as searching and people obviously have not done that or else they would not ask. They would rather ask for the...
