i have a rim with 3/4 through bolts, what size o-rings worked for you?looks like there are three different sizes to use.i just bought a commercial #or220tg 1/4" dia. and appears to be correct length. the one that was in there was smaller and did not seal, i found alot of black rtv around the rim.need some facts on this subject. thanks i may try to 'roll my own" from mcmaster carr industrial supply man they got it.

If you have the wheel with the the 3/4" wheel bolts then the 220tg should work for you.
You just have to make sure the wheel is clean and free of rust and put some silicone grease on the o-ring.
I think the stock o-ring for the 3/4" wheels is like a 5mm o-ring.

Thank you and please be sure to give us a full install report when you actually use one !

I am sure MANY guys on this list will be very grateful for your research should this
prove to be the correct part for the M939A1 Series of trucks...

If you have the wheels with the 5/8" bolts then you need to use a o-ring that is a little bigger, I think around 3/8".
There is a place here in Phoenix that sells the right o-rings for the two wheels and I think they run around $4.50ea.
If anyone needs any I will be happy to pick them up for you and ship them.
Any tire supply house in your city should have the o-rings.

update on o-ring usage. it worked,i used a little silicone grease to lube it put it in place and torqued the rim per specs.she held air like a champ.the o-ring that came off was about 3/16 dia. at its biggest but very deformed.so with a clean rim and a slick o-ring it will work.

Just thought I would update this thread with news that Gempler's OR220 O rings are on back order until 9/15/2015 approx. I am ordering from a few other companies and will let you guys know what they have in stock.
