    Stupid 5-Ton Allison Transmission Question

    I should have added that fresh transmission fluid often fixes the low speed delayed unlocking. If it were my truck the oil the DOD uses for the transmission would be gone and Allison certified transmission fluid would be in it. That would also tend to fix the late unlocking of the converter...

    m915a1 Allison Transmission swap for Eaton Fuller 10 Speed

    Just remember that the brakes were designed and specified when the national speed limit was 55 MPH.... Comparing the 20P and 34P manuals for the M915 and the M915A1 will give you a general idea what clutch parts are needed. I suspect a visit to a Cummins service shop and an Eaton Fuller shop...

    Stupid 5-Ton Allison Transmission Question

    The ABS has nothing to do with the transmission. It is there since the brakes were designed to stop a fully loaded truck and are very prone to locking when a poorly trained or inexperience operator stomps on the brake pedal in a lightly loaded condition. Add that to a high center of gravity...

    Sussex NJ MV Show

    As my calender looks right now I can come down Thursday. Since much of what we're bringing is WWII collectable stuff we won't actually lay most of our junk.....err, collectables out until Friday which means I will have some time to help with whatever you need. We've decided not to trailer...

    advice for rear window crank

    We just had to take the regulator off this AM and slide it down a few inches to get at the passenger side nut on the crank to remove the broken crank. My son figured out that a "pickle fork" ball joint separator makes a pretty good crank handle until we can get the replacement crank . Does...

    Yes, depending on the firearm but if you put your walnut stocked and polished blued steel rifle in the rack it will get scuffed up Lance

    Problem with Allison transmission. Is there any Allison experts out there?

    Yes, I have an idea.....call your local Allison dealer and see what they say. They've always been helpful to me. You might have to hunt around a bit to find a service tech familiar with the older HT series stuff but it's worth it. Lance

    Putting S280 in ground?

    The S-280 is rated for a 75 pounds per square foot for an evenly distributed load like a snow and ice load. Wet clay soil is 110 pounds or more per cubic foot so the roof strength is not going to be adequate for your needs. Like a building foundation, the lateral load is going to be dependent...

    Do M927/M928s have doubled frames?

    Thanks Ferro. I have a mod in mind that will be easier if the frame is doubled. I'm not sure who screwed up but DH was supposed to get the spare off your M915A1 for me and bring it back from Haspin :) Lance

    Does anyone know if the M927/M928 XLWB trucks have doubled frames? Thanks Lance

    I think you are looking at a tag listing the level of antifreeze protection. Lance
