Yeah it's not a dead blow. It's steel. It's stuck on the face of the hub and when you need heavy metal to MOVE - dead blow isn't the answer unless it's one of the heavy brass head ones.... I have a Snap-On one like that. But still - drilling hammer. You want to smack the drum outward on the back...

4lb drilling Hammer to the back edge to knock it free from the shoes. Don't tickle it. Beat it like your mother-in-law.

Not sure on the A0's WTEC-II, but on the 3126 and C7 trucks, the ECM value for PPM (pulses per mile) is 62,618 (or 31.309 with ECO hubs). It seems..... odd to me that the older truck would have a higher PPM number unless it's looking at a different sensor/trigger wheel or it's being adulterated...

The older trucks use a type 10. These would be for the A1R trucks with the Bendix pedal assembly.

They are not all the same depending on year/revision and also aren't easy to find since these are wedge brakes and the commercial industry stopped using them 30+ years ago. The rear's changed from type 10 to type 12 with the Bendix pedal change on the A1R. Different cans entirely. And there's...

Sounds like it was poorly engineered - probably not a factory or commercial/military habitat. TONS of builders out there and probably MOST don't know how to do this the right way. (genuine) M1079's and M1087's do NOT have that problem. Moving or stationary. Now some aftermarket habitat on a...

Yeah probably. I figured 5 but ended up taking 7. No significant break downs - one stop to change the voltage regulator, had a slight coolant leak that solved itself (truck had never seen cold weather operation - hose clamps needed a couple turns but stopped when they got warm), and then my air...

Interesting. If you want to get the fan cycling just hit the high idle button, leave the exhaust brake in warmup and walk away for an hour. Come back and flip the exhaust brake off and let it run at high idle as long as you like. The Army does this often weekly. Motorpool Mondays - start every...

Probably isn't going to make any significant difference. A block heater and oil pan heater will accomplish a lot more. Wider range of multi-viscosity ratings indicates larger quantities of viscosity modifiers.... These are molecules that coil up like a spring (or uncoil) when their temperature...

Synthetic tends to have better cold flow characteristics. I run Amsoil 15w40. 5k changes. 25k miles and zero issues but I'm running a C7. I have run into several references to 3126B applications (RV's for example) calling for 10w30...... Perhaps this was in part for the HEUI pump? No clue if...

Ah ok. That was most likely Will M. He is a member here and on the Facebook groups. If you message him here or on Facebook he will give you a better deal because eBay doesn't get 20%. Ya gotta ask till you get acquainted with our community. 😭

Absolutely. Do that! Transport is so..... Bleh. :cautious:

You do lose a bit of cred if you don't fly out and drive your purchase home. That's one of the best parts of the purchase and you only get one shot at that rodeo. (Per truck :sneaky:) It's a bit like this - if you can't get it home (and it isn't off-shore or a basket case pile of poop that...
