    Air in PS fluid

    I'll try that but I was also thinking of disconnecting the ram and cooler and see if the air gets any better.

    Air in PS fluid

    No prying necessary, it bolts to the accessory drive under the compressor. Just found a picture of Soni's engine. Looks like he replaced it with a bigger hydraulic pump. http://www.fourwheeler.com/project-vehicles/129-0505-1980-am-general-m920-8x8/photo-07.html

    Air in PS fluid

    I'm using a high dollar hydraulic fluid I had left over from a defense job and it's brown but it also gets so aerated that is gets a chocolate milk look to it. Yes, oldmoose, that's what these look like. I threw a pump at it originally because I thought the only place it could be sucking air was...

    Air in PS fluid

    I can make an adapter easy enough but wouldn't it just suck the fluid out too?

    Air in PS fluid

    If NDT doesn't know that's trouble. Lines and fittings all appear good. You'd think they'd leak when under pressure if there was a hole. While bleeding the cylinder, I seemed to get a lot of air on the left turn side. I keep going back to something internal on the steering box. I've got another...

    Air in PS fluid

    I've got an M916 that has a power steering problem. I first noticed it when I found the fluid low and added some. The fluid over flows after the truck is shut down. If the cap is on it come out like a geyser. I've tried turning it from lock to lock a hundred times and tried bleeding the lines to...

    Rubber Track Pads.

    The last we heard from you, you had prototyped one and were going to do more and post pics. Then not another word for years and less than 20 posts, yes, we ALL lose.

    MK 48/14 falsely reading hot

    My temp reads high on the HEMTT and even higher if the lights are on. I figured it was a ground problem.

    Pto?

    I spoke w/ Chelsea, and he said I could ignore it. So I did and it works fine. The original military set up adds another relay to the power panel that communicates with the transmission.

    Pto?

    I've got the Chelsea PTO mounted and I'm trying to wire it up. The Chelsea diagram shows a wire connected to the TCM which tells the transmission when it is engaged. Chelsea tells me I actually don't need this on the older transmission. I know the original PTOs will only engage in neutral and...

    Pto?

    Thanks guys. I figured the original surplus ones would bolt up but I haven't found any for sale. The -24P only shows the pump and not the PTO to find a part number. The bolt pattern is different from M939 series. It's 8 bolt and there's plenty of room. I was hoping some one had a Muncie part...

    Pto?

    I'm putting a swap loader on a M1078 and I need hydraulic power. Has anyone installed a PTO on the transmission of a non-winch truck?

    Back Up again from GP auction?

    They've already relisted two trucks from this weeks sale. Seems a bit quick for a buyer default.

    Members in Northern Virginia?

    Thanks, nice to meet you. Most of the junk pictured is for sale. I recently renewed my membership so I can get some for sale listings up. I've lost some help here recently, so I've been busy in the shop covering. I need to sell some trucks but there aren't enough hours in the day. I've got a...

    GOV Planet Tax issues

    I bought trucks from all over. I never paid sales tax on vehicles the were issued a title. I still think GP has it wrong. At a minimum they have the Virginia rate wrong. It is 5.3% on retail sales which is what they charge and the correct amount for vehicles is 4% charged at the DMV at the time...

    GOV Planet Tax issues

    GL doesn't or didn't charge sales tax on vehicles and trailers that were title-able. They had one thing right anyway.

    GL no longer able to issue Titles

    The only issue I see is with sates like Virginia who don't accept the Form-97 with Gl on it and a dealer re-assignment. Virginia required GL to get a Florida title.

    pass to enter Pourtsmouth Va

    And schedule a time so the pass office knows you are coming a day or two in advance. Make sure GL tells them you are coming or you might get turned away.
