    Cat 7155 tranny

    OH, Warden you do know where the access panel is to do what R Racing suggests yes? If you have a new floor mat you need to look for the access panel then CUT your new floor mat... Basically it is straight down from your Ratio Selector (Shift Box) MAKE SURE THAT PUPPY IS CLEAN BEFORE YOU PULL...

    Cat 7155 tranny

    Warden, SS Member R Racing is our resident 7155 Officianiado' . He is the 1st person I would go to if I had an issue. I took R Racing's advice and added the pressure regulating, air filtering, oil misting devices he dreamed up FWIW. I am watching trying to learn hear myself. REGARDING...

    Got a little carried away with some DOT reflective tape and my M923A2

    Indeed they can be found but there is a FMVSS Spec on conspicuity tape I do believe. If it is not to spec, it mind as well not be there at all. To many laws, impossible for any one man to keep abreast of it all, well, except DOGHEAD, the man has a walking photographic memory! :-) I just wrote...

    Help me Identify this rolling chassis

    Yep, looks like one of the original prototypes w/ the ladder at the back. A complete specimen sold for big bucks about a year ago or so on GL I think it was.

    What 5-ton series would be good for mudding?

    A lil rusty but a solid truck it is...It would make a GREAT 5-Ton-Mudda-Trucka'! LOCKERS? Worth there weight in GOLD. Those were Marine version trucks that were DESIGNED for adverse landing conditions. I would love to own a locker marine version 5Ton...

    Silly me...I thought I would remove the lug nuts with a breaker bar and cheater pipe.

    One of the first things a guy NEEDS to do whenever he buys ANY vehicle is to remove ALL the lug nuts, and dab a little bit of grease on JUST the bolt threads and torque them all down to SPEC. Additionally mandatory tire tools on your truck needs to include three cheater extensions, all that...

    Got a little carried away with some DOT reflective tape and my M923A2

    I wonder if there is like maybe GREEN and YELLOW Conspicuity tape? I wonder if it HAS to be just red and white? Or Green and White Or Yellow and White

    What 5-ton series would be good for mudding?

    Transfer cases will break if ABUSED in low. Under normal use they work fine. Any 5 Ton w/ Mud Chains will be VERY fun to play with. I might raise the axle vents and make sure the front boots are good and don't forget to move the tranny hole plug from its stowed position to its INSTALLED...

    Technically...it works! (dump bed)

    I bet ya you would be surprised at what it would sell for. Doll it up w/ some nice paint, so long as your design works with a load, over and over you could have something there... Let's see some U Tube videos of it in action! Good Job!

    M939 Transmission Swap Options

    Might you remember where in what TM you found that info ? I need to learn that trick.

    M939 Transmission Swap Options

    If I were you, I would bring the truck to an Allison repair facility before you think of a swap. The slipping question is a concern, the hard downshift tells me you are running empty. Put a few tons of something in the back and drive it again and see how that tranny feels, AFTER you resolve the...

    M916A1 Tire Trials

    I sure do wish there was a M915 Series of trucks dedicated forum. ReoRider's posts would fit well in said and I bet ya the Artisan's M916 thread would look good right next to it, along w/ others that are lost in the 5Ton area. The big boys get lost in the 5Ton threads, and are a completely...

    Using 5 ton cargo trucks for adventure type ventures

    One of the links above are to the Lond of Illus1on. I went looking just for fun to learn about the place and I found way more than I was looking for! The folks driving these things need to be LICENSED and TRAINED. Carrying passengers and not knowing how to use that Brake release? OMG! I...
