Are the solenoids the same across the M809, M939, M939A1, and M939A2 trucks, or do any of these trucks use different solenoids?
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
That's a Simp question, but I believe they are all 24v 85 amp continuous duty solenoids. There are a couple of small diodes in the box as I recall as well.Are the solenoids the same across the M809, M939, M939A1, and M939A2 trucks, or do any of these trucks use different solenoids?
All the same. 809s have different guts and can't be used on 939s. But you can rebuild an 809 with 24063 solenoids. However a 809 only needs 1Are the solenoids the same across the M809, M939, M939A1, and M939A2 trucks, or do any of these trucks use different solenoids?
You can get them on Amazon or PM me your address and I'll drop a couple in the mail to you in the morning. I think you have to buy packs of 20 on the Amazon.Yellow wire-left small upper pin
Red air-tight small upper pin
Center small pin-no wire
Orange wire-left medium pin
Black small gauge wire-right medium pin
Two large black wires-two lower large lower pins.
Where should I get the 600v diodes? Would the jumper power feed replacement go to the new diodes? View attachment 829937
I can get them from Amazon overnight with my prime shipping. What amp do I need? They show everything from 1 amp to 4 amp in the 20 pack. I'm guessing the higher amp ones, but not positive. Thanks.You can get them on Amazon or PM me your address and I'll drop a couple in the mail to you in the morning. I think you have to buy packs of 20 on the Amazon.
Doesn't matter. It's just there in case the batteries are hooked up backwards you don't torch the harnessI can get them from Amazon overnight with my prime shipping. What amp do I need?

Okay, I'll get them ordered right away and get them on the way. Once I get the diodes from Amazon and wiring layout from you I will be ready to tackle it for sure. I am very thankful for all your advice on this. Thank you very much. If this doesn't teach me to be more attentive when shutting down the truck nothing else will.Doesn't matter.

Some typos in my last description of wire colors to pinsBreak the chip board off. Remove those solenoids. Arrange the new ones as such. You will need a new jumper power feed rather than the copper bar to the top solenoid
You will need some diodes. 600v will do. These are placed from the power side of the solenoid to ground in the event you hook the batteries up wrong
Tell me what color wires are what pin in the connector and I'll tell you where they go.

Sorry I didn’t phrase the question correctly. I bought the two solenoids and have them. You mentioned to Goliath to buy additional parts to replace (I assume) what the circuit board is doing. Some diodes and a jumper feed. Those were the items I meant to see if you had recommendations and where to place them in the new box setup. Sorry. Out of my element here.Any 24063 solenoid works. You need two. Those boxes just use two different types rather than matching. 939s use the same solenoids. One Is just continuous duty one is intermittent. I just make em both continuous
Jumper is just wire with crimp eyelits to fit the small and large posts. I won't be near a control box until tomorrow sometime that I can get the pin numbersSorry I didn’t phrase the question correctly. I bought the two solenoids and have them.
