Gentlemen, while I have my transmission dropped out of my M813. I plan to pull my flywheel and install a new rear main seal. Any one know what the flywheel bolt torque spec is? Also my clutch disc looks good. Anyone know what the new thickness is on the buttons?
I'll most likely fix it unless the cost of parts is more than another working unit. I haven't torn into it to see the extent of the damage yet. The oil I drained out of it was thick black and full of metal.
I'm in the lookout for a donor tranfer case for parts.
Well guys turns out it wouldn't shift because the input shaft is is broken clean off. The forward gear on the input is totally stripped of teeth. The transfer seems to be locked in 6 wheel drive. Anybody seen this before?
Gentlemen what batteries do you guys use to start your 250 Cummins ?
Does anyone have a good picture of the military wiring configuration.? What was the group size and cca of the 4 military batteries?
I've looked over the tm now and I see the access plate and the detent bolt beside it. I'm curious how much I'm gonna be able see with the transfer in the truck. There isnt much room above the mount. I may hafta drop it to get it to free up or fix it.
Yes the front and rear yokes turned together with no air. That's why I said there was no drivetrain pressure on the transfer case.
You mentioned a 4 bolt cover. I looked the transfer over rather well today. The front cover looks to make up the entire front of the case. The rear half of the case...
I bought the truck not running and had it towed home. I've since installed all new wheel cylinders and the engine seems to run good so far. The drive shafts were completely taken loose and wired up for transport...both front and rear axles. Which tells me there may have been a drive train...
The linkage is moving freely. The shift plunger is moving slightly and I did already attempt to use a pry bar to give a little persuasion both forward and rearward. It just doesn't seem to want to go into gear in low or high. I've already made sure there wasnt a bind on the drive train.
Hello gentlemen I finally got my m813 running. I attempted to drive it but can't seem to get the transfer case to shift into hi or low. The transmission goes in all gears and I can see the short shaft turning between the transmission and transfer case. I have some air leaking at the poppets on...
Wow. Yep that was nasty inside. I fear mine is as well considering its sat for years. Anybody know who has airpack components for sale if I need parts. I already have a reseal kit.
Hello gentlemen. Is anyone in here familiar with the reseal/overhaul of 800 series 5 ton air packs? Any advice or things to look for when disassembling and resealing the air pack?
