    939A2 hit a bump and now wont go over 40mph

    I'll have him change tanks and see if that resolves it. At worst that'll rule out some possible causes.

    Initial shake down trip of a new-to-me XM818

    The semi trailer is also air over hydraulic. But yeah, it should at least provide a 2nd circuit.

    939A2 hit a bump and now wont go over 40mph

    Not my truck. I haven't seen it in person and won't for a couple of days. The guy said he hit a bump and shook everything up and now it acts like it's starving for fuel and won't go over 40. My thought is throttle cable. I'm trying to get ahead of the curve with any other suggestions anyone...

    Initial shake down trip of a new-to-me XM818

    Cause not found. Upon arrival to AZ the master cylinder remains full and the pedal remains high and firm. I'd like to think it was just a bubble that was purged.... The thing about the air pack is that it's about the only place for the fluid to go where you wont see visible evidence of a leak...

    Initial shake down trip of a new-to-me XM818

    Some pictures from final destination- XM818 is parked and I'm taking the redtruck back to KS...

    Initial shake down trip of a new-to-me XM818

    I concur. The air pack provides a place for fluid to escape, and a source from which air can enter. Unless I'm missing something (which is entirely possible)

    Initial shake down trip of a new-to-me XM818

    Despite having gone through it thoroughly in June and paying special attention to the brakes, I lost the brakes entirely, entirely without warning. Pedal to the floor, no response. No crash. No damage. No injuries. Downshifting got me slow enough that my newly installed park brake stopped it...

    M923A2 Fuel Filter change

    A2s frequently have two filters. One on the block that's as simple as it looks. The second one on the firewall is a cartridge cannister filter and is also straightforward. Not all A2s have the one on the firewall.

    Wont go over 50mph

    Has it ever gone over 50mph? This is pretty close to top speed with the 4.56's.

    53 michelin xzl tires

    Given a choice, I'd use them for all. Left and right side of the truck is threaded opposite each other.

    Initial shake down trip of a new-to-me XM818

    And so it continues.... Yesterday I drove it from Hannibal MO to Washington KS. Today I'm doing the last minute loading and hooking up to the M129A4 and departing for AZ, with a stop in Guymon OK to meet up with 155MM and a stop in Socorro NM to work on a buddy's M923. It's hot.... can't...

    Thoughts on the onslaught of State Laws that Pull us of the road

    I don't think so. Here's what I'm seeing - For every MD or CO, we have an ID or TX. TX law explicitly provides for unrestricted titles and on road license plates for M998 HMMWVs that were sold with the offroad stamp.... Granted, the HMMWV sales greatly increased public awareness of the...

    Correct Rifle

    All the more reason to desensitize them through frequent exposure:)

    Correct Rifle

    Or save $19000 and get one with a two position selector instead of three, for around $1000.

    Correct Rifle

    M14 M16 M16A1 Conceivably still in service for the M16A2 Primarily M16A1. If I were choosing a display rifle, the M16A1 is most appropriate. Nonfiring replicas are available on Ebay.

    M818 as a first truck - opinions

    From a parts availability/maintenance standpoint there's no substantial difference between M809series and M939series. The M939series have substantially better brakes. The M809series doesn't have a transfer case that self destructs if you put it in low reverse. I like the manual transmission...
