If I was, I think it would not want to start. As soon as I touch the starter it fires right off.

I've seen that. What does it do? I presume it tells the jake that the throttle is at idle and therefore it is ok to apply the brake?

Will, When you say the "throttle switch" do you mean the Jake brake switch on the floor?

Thanks, I'll look for it

I wondered about the Jake. The very first time it happened, I was backing up and turned around looking out the back window and I thought I might have hit the jake. I don't think I hit it on the coasts. I have the brake set on High. Where is the fuel shut off solenoid or the screw on top?

Anyone have any experience with a 400 HP Cummins dying after a long coast? This has happened three times now. After coming down a long slight grade with no throttle and coming up to a stop sign or freeway exit the engine just stops cleanly as if I shut off the key. I coast off to the side of...

Why not get another one, swap the good parts onto it and keep the wrecked one. Pound out as much damage as possible and use it for off-roading: kind of like a rock crawler. You can have fun beating the crap out of it and not worry about dinging up your good truck.

I put one on my halftrack. Make sure you get a color one-you can't see nearly as much with the B&W version.

Why not just get a fuel selector valve and gage selector switch from an M818 tractor?

Also, don't roll backwards in neutral. The transmission air valves are set up so that the forward sprag is freewheeling in neutral and forward gears, while the reverse sprag is for reverse only. The pop you are hearing is the sprag clutch breaking loose. Extremely hard on the sprag.

Any pics or info on brand and where you bought it?

I would like to add A/C to mine. Please post pics and info on your A/C installation if you would.

There is another way to look at it. If you don't have a CDL, get in an accident, and someone gets hurt you could be facing criminal charges because the police at the scene of the accident are going to charge you with driving out of license class for sure. Imagine being in court and trying to...

Air leak somewhere between the fuel tank and the IP.

Here's what it looks llike.

If you are looking at two trucks-a dump for site work and a tractor for hauling the Cat, you might consider an M915A1. These are essentially over the road tractors with air brakes, 400 HP Cummins, 12 Volt, almost all commercial components, which means you can get parts at almost any truck supply...

I think everyone is missing the point here. He needs something that will work on and off road that can't cost very much and can't lock him into payments. He just needs something short term until the economy turns around. The mil trucks are cheap and would fill the need except for possibly one...

Why not just buy a 5 ton M818 and try it. At about $5k they are cheap and if it doen't work just sell it or junk it.

So this means I can say my truck has "3 wheel drive"!:)

Go to G503 website in the tracked forum. Steve is selling original doors and windshield armor. Not cheap, but original armor is virtually non existent.
