Pulled the valve body off my new take out trans that was stuck in reverse. Full of rusty water. Going to pull the valve body out of my other trans tomorrow and install it and see if the rest of that trans is in good shape. If not looks like I'm pulling the transmission again. Least I'm starting...

The TM doesn't show any springs or anything to to be removed, but they also all show it being worked on upside down. Is there any super tiny parts I need to to worry about?

I put a take out trans in my truck. Once I got it all on I hooked up the shift linkage and it appears trans is stuck in reverse. I pulled the pan and everything looks fine. The shaft itself appears to be stuck and doesn't move at all. Is it possible to pull the valve body off the trans when...

After about 8hrs of drilling, tapping, cutting and hoping. Finally got the last broken bolt out of my crank shaft. Ended up using a HF air saw(actually took 4 of them cause they are **** and kept breaking) to cut it into pieces and pry it out. Overall I spent about 200 bucks on taps, easy outs...

Got one of my broken crank/flex plate bolts out today. The other one is fighting something fierce. Broke two taps, and an easy out. Got it to budge, but ran out tools to remove it tonight. Going to buy a bigger drill bit and a bigger easy out tomorrow. Other wise ran a tap and cleaned up the...

Your right on the part number. But the bolts I pulled out were 5/8" x 1.25". It is a fine thread, 5/8 x 18TPI bolt. Cummins wants 42 bucks a bolt. Im going to tap the threads another 1/4in to 1/2in into the crank to put a longer bolt.

Got the trans removed from the truck today. Found 3 of the 6 flex plate to crank bolts had snapped. Got drill them and easy out them tomorrow. Two where loose and mangled the threads but the holes are still round. One was still tight and in good shape. Anyone know what the size of the bolts/TPI...

Went to drive the truck to my work spot today and it made it half way there before the trans popped out of gear and wouldn't go back in. One thing I notice though. When the trans wont go into gear, the clunking noise and vibration pretty much disappear. Round to tomorrow, I got 6 blocks to drag...

Well I am going to take the electric garage door opener and the entire door assembly for another 100, so I am coming out way further ahead. It's a big enough door to fit the 925 on 1600s.

Nah. It was one of my friends building, I toss him 100 bucks cause I couldn't find another building. It was well worth it to me.

Sourced a building to go swap the trans in my M925. Its slated for demolition in a few weeks. I have a feeling it is a tad bit to short length wise to fit, so I got permission to cut a hole in the back wall for the bumper to fit through if needed. Otherwise is it is plenty tall and wide. Goal is...

I'm feeling for you. Was going to do some work on it this weekend, but I have to fly to Cali this afternoon so the truck got put back on the waiting list. Next weekend is the project weekend hopefully. Sucks when life gets in the way of big green toys.

I will do that for sure if I have to replace it. Though I think brad has take outs for 550ea. If I need one, that's who I am buying it from. Edit- Info on dump kit?!

I believe it is what ever the mil ran in it. Looks like motor oil, not ATF. I haven't really done a whole lot to the truck so far. I had only had it a week when when this issue showed up. It ran fine for the 400 miles I put on it though until the noise started.

If I have to replace the trans. I was planning on cutting the floor out anyhow and just welding a piece of sheet metal back in when I was done. Glad I wasn't to far from the truth.

Fluid looks fine, has no burnt smell. Trying to score a building to park it in to work so I don't have to deal with the rain. Pan getting dropped this weekend either way though. I did take the aux filter off by the cooler and it had no metal or anything like that in it.

Well went to fire the truck up today. Sure enough it goes into gear today. Makes a pretty loud sound when shifted into gear. Still thinking something is wrong internally, more diagnostics to come.

Yes I shifted the lever a few times. Sadly When I went to check the fluid with the truck running, the oil level was way way fuller then it should have been. I'm assuming the pump in the trans died. Tomorrow a pressure gauge is going to get put on it and it will give me the answer.

My truck needed a little helping hand to get home. Was working perfect, Shut the truck off. Went to start it back up and it just wouldn't go into any gear. No F or R. Tomorrow is diagnostic day. Worst case I already sourced a good take out for 500 bucks.

I bought a M925 last Friday and over the weekend I managed to break to the tach cable. Soon after I noticed a weird vibration/thump sound @ idle. As soon as I give it a little bit of fuel and raise the RPMs by maybe 100 (not exactly sure as tach isnt working, new cable on the way) the noise...
