    M939 NHC-250 Fuel Issue

    I've seen a lot of the M939 trucks with the hand throttle cable disconnected. I just assumed it was to eliminate the redneck cruise control, but maybe it was a field fix to a common problem? I'll have to reconnect the cables and see what happens. Sorry for the sidetrack.

    R.I.P.--TIGGER--Matthew Helms

    Like the majority of us here, I only knew Tigger and TiggersGF through their posts, but feel as if they are friends we had not yet met. May God bless Amanda and his family and comfort them during this difficult time.

    Where to get vehicle value appraisal for M925 in Oregon

    At the bottom end, the scrap value is about 2K and the winch is another 1K. As Floridason said, use the completed ebay ads if you can find any of that model, or a M923 and add 1K for the winch.

    M197A1 Converter Dolly Refurbish

    There were a few converter dollys that came out of Biloxi a few months ago. Almost every one I've seen was made differently with different hose connections, storage boxes, axles/hubs. I got a 1975 Pines and a 1980 Miller dollys with dual comercial tires that look like they're on a single rim...

    Dog, Brush and an A3

    Looks like a really smart dog - he even picks up cute women at big box stores! [thumbzup] Dogs with white ears, especially the inner ears, have a high probability of deafness. It's well documented in many (not all) breeds, but the exact cause is unknown - possibly something to do with damaged...

    Towing M923a2 with a M923?'s

    Since you have M923s, without a lot of weight in your bed, the towed truck might push the towing vehicle when braking in a curve. Try to avoid hard braking in a curve, and plan your braking on the straightaway prior to the curve or turn. Your truck may turn, but the towed truck might want to...

    2014 LA Rally Dates

    I had my wife's tablet, but haven't quite figured out how to take photos with it, so didn't take many. I took pics when I didn't plan to and didn't take photos when I wanted to.

    So you want to buy a cheap truck from GL?

    Get insurance before you drive it off. You should be fine and have a great time, but plan $$ as if it will be need to be towed off the freeway and later shipped 200 miles home so you can replace the dried seals at all 6 hubs, busted IP or other more involved repair.

    Newbie Needs Help with Purchase

    Welcome to the site. Depends on where it is, where you are (Smalville USA is not helpful), whether it's running in the video, how many are at auction at the same time, what it comes with (spare tire, troop seats, bows, cover), number of flat/ruined tires, recent rebuild date, etc. Auction...

    thanks, Tim, I plan on having mine there, just no time for upgrades or even good cleaning from what I had last year - but will have portable AC if needed.

    Member Map

    After your first post, I finally got around to checking the map out and putting me up. I had no problems viewing or adding my location (using Explorer 9 as a browser). Sorry, but I can't help you.

    Yeah, I'm in the middle of honey-dos fixing the wife's horse pasture and riding ring, hauling horses, and dealing with a big oak tree that took out our power line during a storm last week and is still on our fence. I may not get around to cleaning out the camping M105 until Thurs AM. I...
