    Lighter springs on a 939?

    I do not know which tire size you currently have on the 939 but is it possible to use a tire with a softer sidewall? Just wondering, if you do not plan on transporting heavy weights then maybe a little help in using the tires as a cushion may help.

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month 2019 - September VOTE HERE!

    fuzzytoaster the front tires on the 817A1 are monsters. I have to wonder if the tires on your Truck are enough to float it. I would imagine that if you had to float to get somewhere you could take one of the tires off and travel a great distance. That is one Tough Truck. The 817A1 has my vote...

    power steering pump part#? 87' HMMWV with 6.2 non turbo

    It was brought to my attention that the TM calls for transmission fluid in the hydro-vac system of the HMMWV. I was not aware of that and should not have stated that PS fluid is used. This can and will be debated for obvious reasons. However there is a difference in that PS fluid is a higher...

    Gas pedal hard to press Normal?

    Welcome aboard Sjoconnor.

A lot of the problems may be...

    We all want economy for repairs. We all want you to succeed with your quest for resurrecting an old warrior. The older more abused bodies take more attention to get near "new" or "young" results. Right Gents? Sometimes there is one that needs extra attention. Your Truck looks to be able to...

    To bad your not my nephew and we could work out a solution, but I would not "sell" you the truck. Knowing the labor and capital it is going to take to revive the old Lady. Good Luck in your interest and maybe your Uncle will be happy that you are wanting to save the Truck.
