Well, the tranny oil, I have decided to try AMSOIL this time. This second the truck is at a shop getting a new tranny stuffed in it so were gonna go w/ the AMSOIL from jump street BUT, member NDT came up w/ a very inexpensive possible solution from Oriellys Auto Parts. Look for a 74209, I think...

Well, I have no time currently to go learn a new trade, but I will look at those videos and THANK YOU guys for the links to go learn but there is a new development. Today I was driving it and I see that when I am in NEUTRAL it works, as soon as I drop into gear I loose that power. I linked...

Well I hope there are lots more videos and pics to come. Sadly I could not make it. I just bought and M916 and a AWSOME trailer for it and I am really really busy getting it all together. The M916 went to a trans shop today to get a new trans stuffed in it and I award a contract SOON for a...

I need a 7000 pound lunette ring trailer with I believe air over hydraulic ??? brakes pulled or hauled from Rock Island IL to Vegas or Los Angeles. The trailer is brand new. must RSVP ASAP if your interested 626-359-2288 It is one of those self loading 20 Container trailers that were on GL. It...

I made the crimp connections myself and I am sure they are solid. The ground connection resistance with a multi-meter? I would need direction. I do have a multi meter. I am not skilled in it's use.

Guys I own an M916 . I want to connect a 12V two outlet accessory outlet to power phones, GPS, etc. Here is a picture of the circuit breaker box and what I "think" is a "Buss bar" or a distribution type of block below the circuit breakers in the truck. HERE is a picture of the fused 12V two...

Do a search for a recent thread on grease bogs. The TM really blows on this subject. I put NO GREASE in there. As I see it the only way to grease that u joint is to pull it apart and grease the zert or, if possible, a long needle thru one or both plug holes. Fill it w/ grease and you will...

Very good eye Al, but when the lid is on there is only 1/4" gap between the top of the wood isolation board that you see in front of the batteries so impossible for steel parts to migrate. The closed outer door makes everything fit extremely tight, no shifting can occur. Not pictured are my...

CAT 7155 TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL PROCEDURES PER L O 9-2320-273-12 "Level should be checked, with engine off, but two minutes after engine is shut off, daily, hot or cold. Drain oil, change breather and clean screen every 50,000 miles or 12 months. Refer to TM-9-2320-273-20 for procedure...

This is real simple. THEY ALL DO THAT! Why? Because they are a BEFFY transmission in a tactical vehicle designed for MILITARY off road movements of HEAVY Equipment AMMO etc and that it is designed to pull the weigh of the truck, it's payload PLUS a 15K trailer! I dare you to add up all...

There is a tiny filter at the pump as well. I have never changed mine but I have one in the parts pile if I think it is needed. You might look for a crushed fuel line too. A lot of that is copper pipe and it can get crushed. Look at the rubber line too, if you see cracks REPLACE THEM. I am not...

TORISCO~! I do not know how I missed this but here I am. Guys I have seen this man's handy work first hand and it is impeccable. I can honestly tell you some of the best times I have ever had in the desert outside FT Irwin was w/ this man and his brother talkin' shop in the back of his...

Look at the driveshaft's and make sure nothing is wrapped around them or possibly a practical joke, IE a weighted zip tie around a driveshaft. Do a u tube video w/ the noise.

Zebe if you find them PM me for my email and I will add them to the "Artisan's M916" thread and I hope the mods here grab them all and upload them properly to a dedicted M915 Series TM's area! ;-) I sure do wish there was a forum dedicated to the M915 Series of trucks! The 5 ton area is...

Certainly the M925A2 is an EXTREAMLY capable truck and when you put that truck in front of a Bubba Rope SOMETHING going to give!

BATTERIES + BATTERY COVER STEPS/HANDLES These trucks were all OE'd w/ the 4 massive 12V batteries the DOD likes to buy. They are EXPENSIVE and IMO, not needed. Now if I were to run into some of them for a song and a dance I might jump on them but I can't dance and my singing gets me thrown...

If you have any plans on using an M916 for pulling a semi-trailer make SURE you know what your up against prior to buying one. As I understand it, the "Normal" distance from the ground to the top of a commercial 5th wheel plate is about 47" . The M916 is 50" from the gound to the TOP OF THE...

Ditto all the Good Jobs! You should be very proud of what you have accomplished.

I too have contemplated these issues from time to time Driller and it may have something to do w/ the possible want to keep the truckers that move all this stuff in business. If all of a sudden there was no work for them, in a time of need, they would not be there to supplement the DOD's own...
