    I won at Auction.... Next steps

    To elaborate - get a wheel in the air spinning and hit the brakes and jerk it to a stop and snap it. What's your take on a hmmwv's tolerance to increased power? No more army HMMWVs is big news and deserves its own thread for discussion. I was unaware of it and I'll bet many others are as well.

    I won at Auction.... Next steps

    Because it isn't unusual to snap the half shafts at stock power levels.

    I won at Auction.... Next steps

    Rereading my earlier reply it reads way more negative than intended. Sorry. My understanding is that every state honors tags and drivers licenses from other states. If you're a SD resident then CA *should* honor your paperwork. I have driven mine from AZ to KS to GA to KS to MO and everywhere...

    I won at Auction.... Next steps

    With almost a thousand lbs/ft of torque and 500hp you're going to break virtually everything in the drive line almost immediately. Slantback and reasonable price don't go together. You may have difficulty registering it in California.

    Purchasing M-1078 or M-1079 thru GovPlanet

    1) No. 2) each purchase gets it's own EUC after the sale. Happy waiting.... 3)M1079 is going to be more than M1078 due to height. The box puts it over height on a standard flatbed. 4) Maybe.

    Seeking Cab Reinforcement Info for M939 LWS Installation

    I have one that came from the military with the LWS mostly still installed. Let me know exactly what you wants pics of and I'll take pics for you in a day or two.

    Rebuilt air pack why wont brakes release?

    I think that is specific to the 939series trucks. Someone correct me if I'm wrong..... Edit - I'm wrong. Thanks

    Rebuilt air pack why wont brakes release?

    What James means is the fluid doesn't return to the master cylinder like it should when that little hole is plugged. You should see a vigorous return, sometimes even squirting out the top of the fluid level.

    Couldn't get 5-ton started on the trailer.

    Did someone pull the engine shut off and not reset it under the hood?

    Anybody near Ft Riley Kansas ?

    I have plenty of room to park it in the field. You need someone to go get it or just a place for it to stay? I don't have any 395s or LMTV rims at the moment. Not sure where to get any closer than TX. I'll see if I can find one between AZ and KS and pick it up for you if things line up.

    Anybody near Ft Riley Kansas ?

    I'm in AZ at the moment. Offgrid with only intermittent coms. Had planned to be back in KS early April but not so sure now.

    M939 Oil Change, Best Oil, Tips and Tricks

    Convert to spin on and call it done. I think floridianson had a spin on conversion for sale reasonably.

    Prepping a Gen trailer for the road home.

    I'd start a new thread as the primary focus of this one is shifting the gensets. There is no tire debate. I suspect I'm wrong. I was going from memory. Presumably Coug checked the markings on his wheels.

    Prepping a Gen trailer for the road home.

    The tire is rated for 50psi but the wheel assembly is not. The O-ring between the wheel halves won't be happy. I run them at 40psi, which is higher than recommended. I've never had a MT fail. I've ran many of them loaded at hwy speed for thousands of miles. What happens is even uninflated...
