    How much height adjustment in the GSS seats?

    I'd hook air to it and measure, but I'm unwilling to hack on the special fitting. How much travel is there from bottomed out to fully inflated? The manufacturer's site doesn't say. Also, I've seen a bunch of them in M939series trucks. Anybody have comments on putting one in an M809series...

    M373 from Junction City KS to Washington KS (~50mi)

    2" kingpin. 24v lights. Tires look good. Anybody nearby got a M931 or M818? A buddy won this and it needs to be delivered to my place in KS. Obviously I don't expect free. Timeline next couple of weeks.

    Why not WD40 into the unloader?

    I saw this mentioned in Slate's breakdown thread. I didn't want to hijack his urgent thread for this nonurgent discussion. I've had an unloader stick. I blew the moisture out with compressed air and then shot it with WD40. Problem solved. Remains solved some 5 years later with no further...

    Perkins vs Isuzu interchangeable?

    Will the isuzu engine in the DHS drash trailer physically fit and bolt up to the gen head in the Applied Companies drash-type trailer? I have one of the Applied Companies trailers with a bad Perkins engine. I found a DHS trailer with an INOP generator. I'm tempted to grab the INOP genset if I...

    Applied Companies GETT perkins engine rebuild

    I picked one up recently. No oil in the crankcase. I added oil and a new filter. Results- Oil pressure starts at 25psi and drops to near nothing as soon as the oil starts getting warm. Bogs down as soon as load applied. Rpm drops and so does voltage and oil pressure. I'm thinking bearings...

    Anybody ever see one suck air into the fuel *here* ?

    1984 M923 with NH250. I've seen bunches of them leak fuel here, but I've never had one suck air from this point. Anybody else? History - I drove this truck from IL to NM a couple years ago without incident. The new owner drove it a little bit, ran it out of fuel, dumped old nasty biodiesel...

    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

    I got the truck at auction as a dead truck quite some time ago and towbarred it to KS. I just recently got the time to go through it and make it roadworthy. Batteries, fluids, and above all brakes. No pedal at all. Right to the floor. New batteries and a bit of wiring got it running. Filled...

    Another ill conceived trip - 1500 miles in a HMMWV. KS to the FL/GA line

    Departing KS 21 AUG, stopping by Wes's in Memphis and picking up a spare wheel and tire. Proceeding to Mobile AL and picking up a welder on a small trailer, continuing on to Valdosta GA. The HMMWV in question is a garden variety M998 with the gutless turd of a 6.2 and 3 speed. I'll be cruising...

    KS to the ba-da ba-da bing bang event !

    So far so good! This is the first real trip since I got my M925 onto 16's. I've taken a few little 40 mile trips to shake things loose and adjust the new seat and retorque lugnuts, but this is really first extended drive. Driving about 200 miles each way. KS and NE back roads, speeds 50-60...
