    M813 engine oil in brake air tanks

    The ORIGINAL part number for the gasket is 156089. I just called an ex-co worker that is still at Cummins. That part is obsolete from Cummins. You might try 3069101, the drain location and bolt pattern should be the same, but IIRC, the shape of the casting is different. A quick search on the...

    M813 engine oil in brake air tanks

    That is an old set up. What year is your truck? The parts book actually shows the set up you have, AR-51299 as opposed to AR-13134. There is a note that AR-13134 is used after ESN 10448850. I have not seen that set up in over 30 years. You will not be able to install the newer style in place of...

    Just spit balling…brakes

    With the above, it would be kinda difficult to fill the reservoirs.

    M923A2 leaking coolant into engine!?!?

    I remembered another thing. EASY fix. If, at sometime in the life of your truck, it was filled with plain 'ol water, well that caused rust, cavitation, etc. The soft plugs can be damaged when just water is used. When you drain the water and install coolant, the damage should stop, or be slowed...

    M923A2 leaking coolant into engine!?!?

    I forgot, one more place, between the block and liner, this is a midstop o-ring or heavily cavitated liner/block. Or overheated

    M923A2 leaking coolant into engine!?!?

    OK, so now you know it is from the engine. If there is no oil in the coolant, the oil pressure is greater than coolant pressure, it will be the air compressor, aftercooler, liner, head, block or head gasket. If it were me, i'd drop the pan and pressurize it. Air compressor will be from the...

    And I Thought Their Cars Were Ugly...

    That's the one! I can say, from first hand experience, they are a very complicated vehicle. Gimmie a deuce or 5t any day. Easy to work on. The War Pig was cool though! The guy that owned it is just up the road from me. He used to have a Haflinger, a Vampire, a couple of Mogs, one was a rare...

    And I Thought Their Cars Were Ugly...

    Where did you pull the War Pig picture from? I know that truck, it belonged to a friend of mine and he has since sold it. That picture was taken at the Museum I work at a few years ago. That was when we were in process of straightening the cab out. It was an air drop mishap!

    M923A2 leaking coolant into engine!?!?

    ELC is the "new" type of antifreeze. Extended Life Coolant. I forget the whole story about it, something to do with not being sweet as to not attract animals. It is very acidic and, if used in early products, like the years of all the green things here on SS, will attack rubber components in...

    M923A2 leaking coolant into engine!?!?

    Check to see what it is first or you will start tearing into things that don't need to be messed with. Do the taste test or use a refractometer

    M923A2 leaking coolant into engine!?!?

    Take the oil filler cap off at the valve cover and have a look, do this carefully so if there are drops of water under the cap, you can test them. Mayo on the bottom side means water/coolant in the oil. I ASSUME you are running antifreeze, so, if you have the mayo under the cap, and have...

    Fan clutch delete?

    I do not remember what hub these have, but yes, it is an option. If the fan clutch you have now uses a Cummins fan hub, easy. Just un bolt the clutch from the hub and install the pulley you can find since it will not matter what size you need due to no fan speed. You will beed to change the belt...

    Folding ladder for front bumper ideas.

    My truck had the steps from the tailgate on the bumper when I first got it. It was a kinda far first step. I then got some of the folding steps, much better! I did lots of bush wacking and hill climbs in the desert and never had any issue with hitting the step or having the pins and clips...

    M548a1

    Good, not meaning to scare ya, but that is WAY better than a tilt Landoll! It can be scary backin, well moving fwd too, on a tilt bed, I hate that! Just had to do that with a 54k aircraft tug! Yes the "tip over" can be a pucker factor! Take pic of the tracks.....

    M548a1

    What kinda parts?
  20. WillWagner

    M548a1

    Main controls, throttle pedal, gear selector, ign on, start button, engine stop cable and two brake control sticks. It has a 4 speed auto in it, IIRC, make sure the brakes are set. The sticks should be pulled all the way back and locked with the buttons on the top of the handles. Make sure the...
