I am talking about getting power to all 4 axles in High range which cannot be done unless there is another axle interlock lever . Thus, transfer case in high range, dash lever in 8X8 and an over ride lever for axle interlock. Then all 4 axles will be powered in high range, not just low range...

Here is my M985 at an animal shelter benefit car show. Here is my friend and mines M923s in to center. And here is one of my M923 when I loaded my Bricklin and showed this way.

Does the truck have a trailer brake handle? If so make sure it isn't applied, even slight application will turn the brake lights on.

If you have the resources I would start replacing tires.

What do you mean by, "Motor brake?" The NHC does not have engine brakes(Jake Brake) on it unless someone has modified it. Sandcobra is right though about flat spotting from sitting.

What is it idling at? The tach should show about 6-700rpm. The sound of those 2 strokers is misleading as they sound a lot faster than they really are.

My M985 HEMTT came to me with 2 8Ds in it. Last weekend (Sat. 7/2) I took it to a car show and after returning it to the yard (at about 3:30pm) I forgot to turn off the park lamps (Frt. and rear markers). It sat that way til 6am Monday 7/4 (38.5 hours). When we got there at 6am to get the truck...

George? Is that a good name?

My next SF97 problem is I bought and recovered an M146 trailer from GP and when I applied for the SF97 I find out the have already issued it to someone else and now need to have them return it before they can issue me one. Yes, this trailer was on a previous auction and the buyer never picked it...

Does anyone have a wiring diagram M985 crane remote control assy.? If I can get a copy I am pretty sure I can make one. Granted, mine won't have a variable control, but a complete diagram is my first step.

Maybe this can help. https://www.goodyear.com/cfmx/web/gov/pdf/military_tire_brochure.pdf

My personal preference is the Goodyears as they have a strong/better designed sidewall to them. Michelins have a very soft sidewall and when they sit flat for a short time damage the sidewalls, I have seen a lot of them, where the Goodyears air back up and show no problems. The 395 tire height...

I used my M923 a couple years ago and plan on doing it again this year but will take my M985 too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZX51ZRmDzw

I think I am going to investigate putting in another switch to engage the dividers in 8X8 high range. That way you can truly engage all 4 axles in Hi. As I see this working you are either 2wd, or 4wd in high range and can only truly get 8X8 when in low range.

Well I'll be, for a change what I was thinking was right. :-D

LOL, what about CARB-urator? LOL

I am thinking Axle interlock connects both axles in that set. Not like a diff lock. I could be wrong though.

OK, now I am more confused. LOL I guess maybe this winter when I have a bunch of snow I could go out and see what wheels are powered in what modes.

The second pic I a paint date. Should be CARC not CARB. Painted December(12) of 2002. I also would like a nice explanation of the Registration numbers though.

Ok, can't seem to find the answer in the operators manual. On the HEMTT(M985) the dash control for the drive system, what are the meaning and what axles drive in each setting. In center at "Off", "8X8" to the right is self explanatory, and "Inter Axle Diff. Lock." And what is the difference...
