    7-ton MTVR steering gear box leaking

    Not the same failure but I just got mine home a year after buying. Actually drove it out in CA for 50 mi or so. No leaks. Hauled back to MA and somewhere along the way the sector shaft output seal failed. Fluid just pours out of the top. No mileage on it. Just time.

    Fan and brake fluid questions

    You are correct. I does look like that lower pulley is without belt. Can’t really tell if there’s one on fan but it sure seems likely belt related.

    Fan and brake fluid questions

    Replying to air pressure question. Yes air pressure looks in good range. My take would be that no air would leave fan locked and spinning anyway.

    You can see in video no spin at all with motor running. And I assume not running long. Totally still.

    Hello I just purchased an MTVR. Waiting for EUC to clear. Planning on a drive back recovery/adventure CA to MA. Yes, I know I’m taking a risk here.

    MEP 804b MPU source?

    I thought I should give an update. Did not have Guyfang's response and the voltage and resistance checks at the time. Summary is that it fires right up every time now. What was the issue? I don't really know and I hate it when "Things fix themselves" . At one point while I was cranking over...
