The bearing is lubed with trans oil pressure there is a cavity behind the seal that will hold a pint or less of oil and that is all that's going to come out unless you start the truck.
try being an army mechanic telling this to an airforce mechanic, we almost had a throw down in the maintenance facility, when I told them it was obvious to me they knew nothing about s cam brakes.
Maybe I could suggest something like an expanding shop van trailer, and a 5th wheel 5 ton or fmtv . otherwise the only alternative for getting any floor space is the rare 5 ton expand van.
The truck should handle it just fine, my engine is rated at 230 and pulled an equipment trailer and d-3 just fine total weight was over 40 k. The roads were icy so my speed was limited If the roads were dry I don't think I'd have done it at highway speeds but where the road was straight and dip...
The problem has to do with the function of the pto. Te torque converter must be in lockup for the pto to function properly, on the 3070 transmissions once the trans hits 3rd the trans goes to lock up all the way to 7 th . In the lower gears with the t/c not locked up you will build heat faster...
if I was going to do it I would use the old 916 body. The freightliner body is fugly and has about the same amount of room a duce has, the old am generals have a huge cab with lots of room.
I have seen commercialy built gear reduction starters on hmmwv's at fort dix. the starter housing is the same pinion and depth as a gm diesel. The dust cover on the lower bell housing must be removed to pull the starter, some have a starter access plate added so you don't have to remove the...
I would also crawl under the truck and look at the inner rocker panels for rust through, a common place for holes to show up is right behind the rear seat mounting points.
I will say this in my mind the a-0 units are worth more you know they will always stat and run all you have to do is start buying fuel components for the electronic engine you will see what I mean 6 grand for a heui pump, 6 grand for electronic injectors, and if you have the c-7 than you have to...
I was just showing that vid to one of my co workers in the shop when one of the drivers came in demanding I move my truck from the back door. I told him to chill and take a safety moment. I opened the door went to move my truck and the moron was backing up into me before I got the parking brake...
The clearance for the starter is supposed to be about 40 to 60 thousandths as I remember. Too tight or too loose will shorten the life of the dental work on your flexplate. The military went to the no shim housings, but most gear reduction starters are aftermarket and may require the shim. With...
I don't know why every one cals single phase 220 proper single phase voltages is 120 and 240 you can have voltages as low as 110 and 220 because of voltage drops. I would still try to get as close to 240 as possible.
you have an air leak in the fuel system, the likely culprate is the primary fuel filter. as for the electrical you might think there is more wires than it needs,and you are probably right. if you leave it this way and fix what is wrong you will always have a road map in the tm to follow to do...
The soft plug engine heater is a lot more efficient at warming the block because that's really all it does the tank type heaters rely on convection to move coolant through the cooling system to heat the engine, if they aren't placed right they wont warm the whole engine, or any of the engine at...
