Dunno about rock creek this time but certainly once I'm better at 5speeds...
Also it seems I was wrong, its a multifuel not a ctd.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
some cool info on Ken's new whip.
Identification
There were 3 main series of 5 ton trucks used by the United States Military.
Here they are broken down by identifying characteristics and production years.
M39/G744 Series (1951-?)
M39/G744 Series(51-?)
Engines
Continental R6602 Gasoline Engine- M39 series
Mack ENDT-673 Diesel- M39A1
LDS-465-1A Turbocharged Mutifuel Engine- M39A2
Transmissions
M39 and A2 series with Gasoline engine or Multifuel engines- Spicer 6352 5 speed/manual (direct)
M39A1 with Mack - Spicer 6453 5 speed/manual (OD)
Most Common Variants
M51- Truck, Dump
M52- Truck, Tractor
M54- Truck, Cargo
M139- Truck, Bridge/Chassis
M543- Truck, Wrecker, Medium
Other Variants
M246- Truck, Tractor, Wrecker
M41- Truck, Cargo, with 14.00 "Super Single" tires
M809/G908 Series(62-83)
Engine
All M809 series trucks were powered by the naturally aspirated 6 cylinder Cummins NHC-250
Transmission
The Cummins was mated to the Spicer 6453 5 speed manual (OD).
Most Common Variants
M812- Truck, Rocket Launcher (?)
M813- Truck, Cargo, LWB (Long Wheelbase)
M814- Truck, Cargo XLWB
M815- Truck, Bolster
M816- Truck, Wrecker
M817- Truck, Dump
M818- Truck, Tractor SWB
M819- Truck, Tractor, 6x6 Wrecker
M821- Truck, Bridge Transporter (LWB)
"X" Prefix denotes pre-production run, as in XM813A1
Marine Corps Modifications/Variations
Marine trucks were outfitted with Detroit locking rear differentials. (To aid operation in sandy conditions, i.e. beach landings) Their air filters were equipped with extended breather stacks, and they were equipped with fording kits.
Some Marine M813s were outfitted with ISO beds, with stowable sides and accomodations to stow troop seats and canvas bows. They were designed to carry standard ISO containers.
M939 Series(83-?)
Engine
Cummins NHC-250 Diesel- M939 and M939A1 series
Cummins 6CTA 8.3 Litre Turbocharged Diesel- M939A2 series trucks
-Interesting note- the 6CTA8.3 is smaller than the NHC250, rated at a slightly lower HP. It is identifiable by A) its single-cast head, B) it's turbocharger, and C) its smaller size
Transmission
All M939 series trucks were equipped with an Allison automatic transmission
Most Common Variants
M923- Truck, Cargo
M925- Truck, Cargo, with winch (hydraulically powered)
M931- Truck, Tractor
M936- Truck, Wrecker
M945- Truck, Chassis (Bridge Truck)
Some Marine M923s were outfitted with ISO beds same as their M813 trucks
Production Note: The M939 series was originally designed as an upgrade package for the M809 series trucks. They only began to be produced from "scratch" when the M939A2 series began to be manufactured
The M939 series and the M809 series trucks are being replaced by the FMTV (Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles) in the Army, and the Oshkosh MTVR series (Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement) in the Navy and Marine Corps.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
so does anyone have a steering box brace they want to sell? I should be getting the front bumper brackets installed tomorrow and figure since I will be pulling the steering box bolts anyway might as well toss in an upgrade if someone has something they are planning on selling :dunno:

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
You mean you shortened the list instead of making it longer?
I'd say that counts as pretty awesome.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
I will probably put the aluminum thing back in and order one later on down the line. I had no plans on upgrading but I guess I can spend some extra coin and upgrade it if I find one for sale locally in the next 24 hours.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
It's pretty easy to make one.
Do you have any steel, drill, angle grinder etc.?

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
Yeah, and that def crossed my mind after doing some searching/shopping and seeing how simple they are (I knew they were simple, just wasnt sure on the spacing and such). Still thinking about making one depending on if mine comes out in one piece or not.

Haha, where is Ken when you need him. On Extreme 4x4, there is a bobbed M530C, with airbag suspension, and they built it to haul their Suzuki, which they just drove into the bed of the truck.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
Man, talk about getting measurements right the first time combined with a little luck... front bumper is almost back on and it's lined up perfectly, just gotta drill a few more holes and bolt the brackets on.
Down side is one of my steering box bolts snapped. I will take care of that eventually (probably just upgrade to a durango or YJ box) but should it be OK to move the Jeep with only 2 bolts holding it on? I just need to get the XJ out of the garage and down to the street so I'm thinking 2 bolts should be OK for that short of a distance... anyone agree/disagree?

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
So my motorcycle no-start issue came back :banghead: I'm thinking either I have a bad relay somewhere that sometimes isn't latching off and causing a drain on the battery. Either that or my stator is on its way out and it is providing just enough charge to run the bike but isn't keeping the battery charged, so it won't start.
Strange though, it started fine yesterday after sitting for almost 2 weeks, ran fine all day (well ran like crap at first but then started feeling real good after a while), and I started/stopped it at least a dozen times over the course of the 3 hours I was riding... all with no issues :dunno: Then I went out an hour ago to start it and it was dead as a rock, I got a jump, went for a ride (was running fine), then as soon as I shut it off it was dead again, barely able to turn the engine over. So I got no clue where to start looking for the issue, I can't decide if I should put the Jeep on the back burner and work on the bike or ignore the bike now. Got the front bumper done, brackets are painted and drying now, going on the Jeep tonight or tomorrow after work.
