    Hydraulic Head Assistance

    Maybe. I never use the advance window as it is a waist of time and it will not be on mark same time as Head. Last time Allen and myself just used the #2 exhaust valve and when he said it was starting to close he then started to watch for the scribe mark and we hit it first time around. I use...

    If you do not find the shackles I seem to have some 3/4 pin shackles that look almost like the ones on my 37. I packed them with the other bigger shackles for the trip up there. Maybe someone can look sea because I do not remember where they came from or really care.

    Hydraulic Head Assistance

    Also finding the Head red / scribe is not a problem if you can not find it first time of the Head gear going around. Using Gimpyrobb aka Chris's easy way to find TDC compression stroke on the multi fuel without removing the valve cover. Remove the oil fill cap and rotate the engine clockwise...

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month March 2021 VOTE HERE

    Some pretty pictures of the 1992 FLD 120 or 915A2 if you prefer. The Detroit will produce 400 HP at only 20 to 21 pounds of boost on a hard pull and when I am bob tailing boost reads just below 7 psi. Tanks for all that already voted for the 915 and as said before all are winners.

    Hydraulic Head Assistance

    Just trying to get a grip on it with two TM's two stickies and multiple threads on taking out just the Head you had problems. It really is a simple job. Now taking out the whole IP is a little more entailed getting it timed. You might want to line up the harmonic balancer on the compression...

    Using a pallet jack to install/remove super singles

    Changing a tire and servicing the hubs are a little different. Here is a wheel dolly that is more used for hub service. It will help remove both tires in a duel set up still attached to the hub. Makes easy work for doing brake / oil seal work. Yea works best on hard flat service. Also it has the...

    Idle surge after injection head o-ring replacement and fdc bypass

    Understand. But if the IP gear has never been taken off or IP removed then to check timing we do not need to check the gear. HB on correct mark, advance window on it'd mark then the Head red / scribe mark will be just about one tooth off to the rear. That is correct IP timing. When we install...

    Idle surge after injection head o-ring replacement and fdc bypass

    Sound more like you got the timing off when you installed the IP back in the engine and did not check the timing at the Head. Looking over and reading the TM's can be worth it. Injection Pump Timing | SteelSoldiers

    Govplanet Credit Card Fees

    I had to pay Georgia state tax of 38 bucks plus a 38 buck county tax for the stuff that came out of Albany. Not a big deal but can add up on high priced stuff.

    What have you done WITH your FMTV ( trips, Rescues etc) NOT: fixes, updates etc

    No issues today just do not need it. Now there were things that were corrected with the truck so new owner has a good truck I feel. I still have the 915A2 to pull my trailers on road. Now if we are talking when I first got the truck then yea. Some moron took out the front drive shaft and put it...

    How to get rid of play in steering

    I have not done my 37 yet and it is not too bad but I did do my 47 Ford. If I remember I jacked up the whole axle and checked cock to cock any binding when adjusting the sector shaft. I could also check anything else for to much play in the steering system.

    Using a pallet jack to install/remove super singles

    I believe that the point some are making you never have to lift a tire just balance it up right while on the ground. Most are wide enough with very little effort they stay up right. Just do not lay them down or loose the balance or yes they are heavy. Just to add as Wes said you can raise or...

    M1079 Transmission Fluid Question

    I am still running 15w40 in my MTV and not going to get into the oil thing again. I will say I found the man that approved engine oil to be used in the MV and posted his response on the board. He said at the time no transmission had failed because of the engine oil while in service. Yes ATF...

    Using a pallet jack to install/remove super singles

    Tire walking is not that hard. I had to walk one of these off and yea it is a little bigger than a 1600. Anyone that knows me or seen me I am not a big man and getting old. Think I was about 60 when I had to repair one of the knuckles on the Hanson seven years ago.
