    LMTV Park Brake not working

    With the truck stopping like it should tells that the wedge brakes are not frozen, if the spring pots are not getting air, the brakes "SHOULD" set, it almost sounds like the spring pots are getting air 100% of the time, it is against ALL odds that the springs broke in all the pots, just a guess...

    m939 14.00 xzl duals

    I am thinking of running duels (1400r20s) on the rear of the 819 after I change the rears, it is VERY doable, I will be over width but not a worry, can get a yearly over width permit cheap.

    Hand throttle idle problem with NHC-250. RPM's rise after a minute or two.

    After reading some more comments, I will say again, let the IP warm up to OPERATING TEMP BEFORE you use the hand throttle, this WILL do away with the rpm surge.

    Hand throttle idle problem with NHC-250. RPM's rise after a minute or two.

    Till the ip heats up, you WILL get the rpm rise, let the ip heat up to operating temp, then use the worthless hand throttle, I did away with the oe hand throttle and replaced it with a veneer cable, once thing are warmed up, I have rpm adjustment down to a few rpms at a time.

    Transmission and transfer options for 818 (809 series.)

    Transmission and transfer options for 818 (809 series.)

    I see that., which brings up another QUESTION, do you plan on FWD 100% of the time OR how are you going to deal with that issue.
