    What is the electrical unit just above the fuel pump?

    Might be the engine? Hard to say without pics or more info.... In reality though its probably the fuel pressure sensor if its an A2. Step one, post some pics to help the next guy who has this issue (and uses the search function!) Step two, remove and cap it. Sent from my LG-M210 using Tapatalk

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    You my friend, are hard core. I did 60 miles round trip in my M817 dump with 8 tons of rock (only one way) and an 18k excavator on the trailer and was spent! Between the noise and constant shifting attempting to maintain any sort of reasonable speed on the hills, I couldn't wait to get out of...

    What brake fluid are you using for hydraulic brakes?

    Mine came with DOT 3 from the local government (wsdot). Flushed it again with DOT 3 after changing all soft lines and it's still happy. If you have DOT 5, I'd stick with that. If it's like mine, might as well stay with that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I've had a few NHC250's that Red River butchered but never had any issues with the 8.3. They only seems to mess with the top end from my experience. If anything more then that is needed they seem to replace the engine. That leads to plenty of other issues like not tightening flywheel...

    bulb voltage for M813 pre-heater/glow plug indicator

    A 24 volt bulb will work no matter what, just may be dim. Check the TM for part number or nsn Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I finally joined the club and bought my first MV! - M813A1

    To adjust the rears, I jack the whole thing up (harbor freight air over hydraulic jacks) and put jack stands under the round support near the trunion bearing. Then you can do all 4 at once. There is a small access port on the face of the drum. The TM has pretty good info on the adjustment...

    M925A2 Electrical Short/Nightmare

    That's a military alternator. Ditch that pos and get a one wire Delco or similar. Search for that, lots of info on that too. Sent from my LG-M210 using Tapatalk

    M925A2 Electrical Short/Nightmare

    It's likely the PCB that is fried as others have stated. It's probably due to an improper shutdown. Search pcb on here and you'll get all of your answers. Sent from my LG-M210 using Tapatalk

    Do you pay tonnage with collector plates? (WA state)

    Yes it does but I carry a trip permit with me and if I ever exceed that, which isn't very often, I just use the trip permit. It allows me to use my truck for what it was designed for. If you have collector vehicle plates and run up to Home Depot to get a pallet of blocks and get in an...

    M925A2 Electrical Short/Nightmare

    Read the -10 tm at least. Then do some searching on the site with the terms these guys have used. I'll leave it at that or I might offend someone. Don't need another angry wife coming on here.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Look into "farm exempt". That's how mine are registered in WA. You can still haul and tow with them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I finally joined the club and bought my first MV! - M813A1

    Congrats on the purchase! I found a great shift boot for the transmission, Jegs 62380 but still looking for something to use on the transfer case and winch controls. Before you tackle any other projects, I'd replace the 5 rubber lines on the brake system, adjust all shoes and bleed it out...

    M936 not shifting out of first

    That's a better introduction. So lets get this fixed or at least diagnosed before money is spent at the mechanic. Was the fluid checked? What was the result? Full and clean? Low? High? Burnt? Looks like oil? Looks like Dex? Make sure its being checked while running and check it at...

    M936 not shifting out of first

    That's great that they have been out working on it. BUT, was it advertised with transmission issues?? Here is why I'm so jaded on this topic. I've witnessed many people get burned. I'll provide 3 great examples. 1st - Canadian guy buy a truck in WA that was on craigslist. The posting pic...

    M936 not shifting out of first

    Yeah! It took 4 hours to come up with the responses below? Unacceptable. I'd ask for a refund (to this free site full of information and a search feature?) I'd be almost as mad as the guy who went to buy a running and driving truck just to find out it has current (and past) transmission...
