What did you do to your M939 today?

[fpchief]

I did not see this started yet so here it is.

I rebuilt the two side rails and headache rack, and installed the new to me troop seats.

I also started prepping the underside of my hood trying to preserve it. Got rust popping through in a couple of spots.

I watched mine from the window in the rain.

Took my M936 for a drive on the highway this morning and I'm pretty sure I blew up the motor. Many bad, bad noises. Oil seems clean and full. No smoke coming out the exhaust. But a really bad noise from the motor under load.

Was it a hard tinking sound or a lite ticking? Have you driven it before and no sounds?
The 939 series have a ticking sound when driving, or at least those i drove while a cannon fodder had a ticking sound while starting off.
can you post a vid of the sound you are hearing?

Was it a red river rebuild truck?

I saw in the listing on govplanet that is had a blown upper hose. I can hear noise in that running video it had for the listing.

It probably blew the liner o ring or a wrist pin let go

I washed the wife's. After hand washing 2.5 hours, it feels like we have a new truck.

Good looking truck.

Thanks. It doesn't get as much attention since the LMTV and HMMWV came along.

Aren’t you the guy that was running the truck on ether to build air? You really need to spend some time reading the manuals and do some maintenance before you just hit the road. That is a lot of truck and you can do some serious damage to your truck, yourself or others.

I got the tan troop seats painted today and started working on some of the rough areas of the bed. There were 4 coats on the tank. A red, tan, and two different coats of green.

I did some social distancing today, just me and Groot, my 923A2. It was a beautiful day and Groot had a great time!

 

[fpchief]

I bet Groot likes having that much land to roam around on.

Figured out why the truck wanted to over heat. What genius came up with the ideal of a plastic impeller on a water pump!

Got it ready for final spray....mostly.

Today with the help of my son and a friend we loaded a communication box from a m109 2.5 truck on to a m85-100 trailer and transported it to its original owner.View attachment 796716View attachment 796716

What kind of primer you using, red oxide?

Yea, the thick stuff that fills small cracks. I usually end up sanding most of it off before spraying. Good autobody guy I am NOT! But I reckon it looks good enough from a distance

Everyone's trucks are looking good!
