Well Chris experienced the "stall" problem and that's what, at least I, am looking into... The treadle valve may be an important part of this problem, here is a patent (for the sake of discussion) showing a valve which limits the amount of force applied to the brakes.

I'll keep looking as well on the assumption that the engine stalls because it's still locked up due to some delay in the release mechanism.

You are welcome! Good to see another installation up and running...watch that hot air and the windshield when cold.

Below is a page from the TM. Question; is there an equivalent to the throttle position sensor on the M939 series? When you let off the "gas" pedal, the transmission knows when to release the lock-up, my 8x8 has this throttle position linkage, but I don't see it for the MT654. What is the...

On a civy car (vacuum available), this is addressed as follows: " The vacuum switch in the "TCC Automatic Lockup" wiring ensures that the TCC unlocks in situations of low or no vacuum. Since it's hooked to a ported vacuum source, this means the switch is open at idle and when the engine is...

So, the problem has to do with the release of the lock-up condition. Not responsive enough? Is this peculiar to this transmission (MT654) only or would it apply to my 8x8 TX200-6 (MT31, MT41) also, I wonder.

Look for Military Vehicles Magazine issue #94 "How to: Turbo conversion for Deuces", December 2002, by yours truly, pictures, timing info etc...

If you have any old Military Vehicles Magazines around, look for the October 2003 issue (#99)... article by yours truly on the flame heater operation, test and verification of function. Use it sparingly, as stated above, it uses up oxygen.

Yes, cranking speed is important to build up heat, should be 200 to 300 rpm...

Unless the transmission is mechanically locked, the torque converter should provide the slip...but this is where an expert comment would be desirable. The stall test described above demonstrates this "slip", I would think.

I'd like to see a response to the "stall test" posted above. My 8x8 is also an automatic, but never heard of an engine stall problem. Is this a transmission problem that is indirectly fixed with ABS? It'll be a while before I try a brake test like this on the hilly and windy roads around here...

Does it stall in any of the 5 gears, or just the 5th? Seems like the torque converter should provide slip and keep the engine from stalling... Is there a transmission expert out there, who can explain why this "stall test" (image below) would or would not apply to the situation discussed...

Eric, I'd troubleshoot the problem before replacing anything, check oil viscosity, measure output from sending unit with DVM etc. There is a lot of info in the PS Magazine articles (TM America), go there and read up on it. :-)...

Make sure that the piece in which the tapered joint is seated is solidly supported, any vibration is a sign of the entire assembly absorbing the blows from the hammer. I used a 3 lb hammer for this. The nut you are using should be screwed in flush with the end of the stud. Like I said, I have...

Okay, good, guess I need to pay more attention to the text. :-)

Patrick, what size and grade bolt is this, doesn't look right somehow..?

FWIW, wrote articles about the deuce in MVM (5 or more years ago) with enhancements for highway driving, including higher tire pressure, more instrumentation, wheel alignment, freeing up the rear bogie , some electrical improvements, tire siping and even air pollution control... Edit: December...
