    M813A1 transmission.

    I think as in remove the dog house cover and the entire top of the trans, I think its like 12 or 15 bolts or so, then you can see the inner workings of the entire transmission and probably spot the problem, it may be something not too complicated that you could remedy with some ingenuity, but at...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    If you look on the return side of your hydraulic system, there is typically a 20 to 40+ year old filter slowing things down .

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    So I got that big giant primary fuel filter changed yesterday and it turned into an all afternoon job . The goo that was in it was like nothing I have ever seen before in a fuel system, I could not get it out with solvent, I tried scraping it out, I eventually used a weed burner and burned the...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    So after removing all the CTIS junk I discovered that I have only one leaking tire instead of three, so I replaced that one tire and now all my tires hold 55 psi . Painted my rims with Rustoleum flat black which is a little bit shinier than I thought it would be and I think they look great . I...

    Any modified parking brake

    @clinto said: I don't think a pinion brake is a good idea on these trucks. There are several threads explaining the issues, but driveshaft speed and the open differentials make them not a good match for our trucks. The pinion brake grabs on to the opposite end of the same driveline as the...

    Any modified parking brake

    To answer your question, no, I have no indicator telling me that the parking brake is engaged, other than the fact that my truck will not move if the parking brake is engaged, it works extremely well . I hear guys say that their parking brake is absolutely worthless and I'm not sure why if your...

    My first m35a1!..i think?

    Is that roof glass or metal ? Between the back single wheels tucked in and those front fenders, it looks like an M34 that Memphis got ahold of way back in the day, the data plates reflect the newer cab that they would often upgrade to and not bother to remove them .

    6x6 engaged ???? Help

    Yes the long floor lever in between the seats is neutral halfway up, which does indeed disengage the drivetrain . Yes blackout turns off all headlights and turns on a little baby light on the front that you can barely see . The dimmer switch is on the floor over to the left where it should be...
