    So I bought a M1070, now maybe I should learn something about them.

    So I figured you guys would appreciate the M1070 not just sitting around.

    5-ton Battery Kill Switch??

    My 1984 M936 has dead batteries every time I go to start it. These are NAPA military-style (the square ones) batteries less than a year old. I know I have a trickle drain somewhere in the truck, but damn if I can find it. I'd like to put a battery kill switch on it. Anyone have any pictures...

    M1070 Chemical Alarm Wires-- Can I install an overhead light?

    I see the old chemical alarm mounting plate in my 1994 M1070. Wires 1746 and 1747 go to it. Do either of these wires get 24 V from the switch? Would it be possible to simply wire up a dome light in the same place on the chem alarm switch?

    So I bought a M1070, now maybe I should learn something about them.

    Two questions: What goes in the round circle on the front left of the hood? It looks like it might have been a blackout drive light or something, but they changed it at the last minute? What goes in the baskets on top of the winches? I was thinking chock blocks or snatch blocks, but don't see...

    So I bought a M1070, now maybe I should learn something about them.

    I already have the square ones, and it has several unconnected wires. I agree I could use group 31's, but still need to know where the extra wires go. Positive or negative? 12 volts or 24?

    So I bought a M1070, now maybe I should learn something about them.

    Does someone have a photo of the M1070 battery bay? They delivered my HET with two small car batteries, and I want to put in four military sized batteries, but can't figure out the wiring from the manuals. They have three small feeder wires (18xx, 12xx, and a third), but don't see those in the...

    I think I was misunderstood. My truck has a cab (pic below). I only posted a picture of another truck with the cab removed for demonstrative purposes, showing how lucky I am that the cab was NOT removed.

    As per the auction site, it starts and runs with a jump. That's better than not. No word on actually moving under it's own power. At least they didn't cut the cab off before the sale.

    So I bought a M1070, now maybe I should learn something about them.

    Yah, so I accidentally just bought one of these monsters, too. I have no idea why and it'll cost me more to get it here than my 5-ton cost. No idea what Imma do with it, but it'll sit nicely along next to my Peterbilt and other stuff I don't use. Maybe this is the cry for help my family has...

    I can pull the bulb easy enough, but dat buzzer? How to disable it without disabling the low air/parking brake buzzer?

    Engine Temp Alarm going off at all times???

    I just did my motor swap on my 1984 M936 with a replacement (used) NHC250, and but for a few small issues it seems to be fixed. I did have a bird build a nest in the muffler during the downtime, so startup was "interesting" and now I need a new muffler. Anyways, after the swap my "Engine...

    Rebuilt Motor made it a mile.

    Would the warranty be worth the paper it's written on? I'm thinking of buying the long block and installing it myself, but I want a warranty. I'm tired of paying thousands of dollars only to watch the mechanic scratch his head when parts fly off.

    Rebuilt Motor made it a mile.

    Has anyone had any experience with MTP out of Many, LA? They seem to have a good warranty on 250 long blocks. R

    Rebuilt Motor made it a mile.

    Different mechanic rebuilt the third motor. Gonna try a 4th, all new. R

    Rebuilt Motor made it a mile.

    Well, the rebuilt in-frame (all new sleeves, all new pistons, heads worked, everything) just threw a rod through the side of the engine block. I'll be moving on to my 4th motor in ~1,100 miles. Anyone that says the NHC 250 is a great reliable motor doesn't know my truck.

    Rattle at highway speed- Engine Governor?

    I do have an automatic high idle with the crane, but I disengaged it at the air piston and control it manually. I drive around with the transfer case on the floor. Never figured out what the upper (above neutral) position does, other than bang my ankle.

    Rattle at highway speed- Engine Governor?

    It sounds too shallow to be that, and I also just had this engine fully rebuilt. It sounds like it is under the cab, not in the engine.

    Rattle at highway speed- Engine Governor?

    Governor at 2200, right at 58 mph indicated. I got it up to 61 once and it felt like I was re-entering earth's atmosphere. Also, re-read my post. I edited to provide more info.

    Rattle at highway speed- Engine Governor?

    My 1984 M936 has a terrible rattle at highway speed- but only when the engine is at governor and I go down a slight downhill. At normal cruise it's fine, but when I go to a slight downhill--only enough to put the engine/driveline in a neutral load-- it will rattle like a bunch of bolts in a...
