    Rear axle movement / alignment

    It is not just the shifting sideways but the whole slop that allows things to move around. If everything in the suspension was ridged, say fixed springs ends and non-rubber ends on the dog bones the only thing left to handle the binding would be the sliding of the tires on the pavement. Using...

    Rear axle movement / alignment

    There better be some lateral movement or something will break. Unlike commercial trucks, the tandem axles on these trucks are always being driven. To clarify a little. On say a typical OTR tractor these is a power divider in the intermediate axle that only allows the rear axle to have power...

    Headlight issue!?! Any ideas?

    Start with the simple. Check to make the sure wires are connected correctly. And that also means the wires going into the headlight buckets. There should be a metal tag on each wire from the harness going into the buckets, there may even be numbers inside the buckets and there should be tags on...

    m925a1

    I’m not completely certain on the wheel cylinders or the shoes, however I think they are same as the ones for a M373. When I was checking the drums, shoes, cylinders, bearings and what not on one of my M373’s they looked like the ones for a 5 ton. I refer to either an M54 or 800 series truck. If...

    m925a1

    No sure of the fuel on the heaters in your trailer. I’ve never played with the ones in either of my trailers other than to look them over briefly. I know like most of these things there are instructions on the heaters for starting, running and shutting them down. There is also a movable curved...

    No power steering or brakes after new pump and lines

    If is overflowing at full lock that means it still has air in it.

    No power steering or brakes after new pump and lines

    It sounds like you still have air in the system. As already posted about turning the wheels left and right. When the wheel reaches the end of the travel it needs to be held there for a little while. That is how the air is purged. Just a slow and steady turn till it stops, then hold it there...

    Diesel fuel problems

    The new fuels definitely don’t last like the older blends. I have found that 3 months is the most to expect from gasoline and 9 months for diesel. I would drain the fuel, replace the filters and see if it starts. If it does then run some injector cleaner/ fuel conditioner for a while. No...

    The M295A1 Chassis semitrailer 6ton 4 wheel are the frame section for either the M750 or M447C. The M750 is a semitrailer vehicle parts storage. The M447C is the generator repair shop. The M750 has inside storage bins that are accessed from the center aisle and the outside bins are...

    Loading up

    Do you have any close-up pictures of the roller guide on the front of the M172? It looks like it would work well to guide the winch cable from the M916, especially if you had a disabled vehicle.

    M931 Trailer air brakes

    You didn’t post how long you held the tractor protection valve in. There may have been an obstruction that was cleared with the shop air. Flushing the system with something like CRC Brakleen probably would be a good idea. I had a mud dauber get in the emergency line of my XM971 and used Brakleen...

    M931 Trailer air brakes

    It sounds like you have a trailer with the old system that uses air from the tank(s) to apply the brakes in the event of a breakaway. The air tank(s) even if completely empty should charge in less than five minutes if everything if working. There may be an obstruction i.e. mud dauber in the...

    M931 Trailer air brakes

    First off the gauges are primary and secondary systems. And the trolley valve, that’s the name for the hand valve on the steering column sends air to the service side to apply the trailers brakes. Make sure the airlines are connected properly red, emergency line to red. And blue, service line...

    Air Fails To Build Intermittently; Parking Brake?

    The heaters only purpose is during cold weather, it keeps the water in the dryer from freezing. I should add my air compressor has two stages and is set for 175 psi and when I’m working on vehicle air systems I have a portable pressure regulator to reduce it to 125 psi. If you only have a single...

    Air Fails To Build Intermittently; Parking Brake?

    After reading all of the threads and posting you have on your truck I’ll give you may layman’s uneducated guess on what’s going on. First off a little and partial refresher on the air system. Compressor to dryer to air tanks then off to the rest of the truck. Governor receives signal thru...

    Air System Relay Valve Leaking At Bottom White Disc

    What is leaking is the purge/ dump valve on the relay valve. They are generally not rebuild able and at work they get replaced when they start to leak. There are a couple of things you can do it just depends on how much time you want to spend on it. The first is just replace the valve and be...

    Torque Rod removal - remove the tires?

    The cotter pin type isn’t that critical. I just picked ones that fit out of an assortment box that I have on hand. For installation I chocked the front wheels, charged the air tanks and released the brakes to make it easier to move the rear axles. I ended up using a ratcheting chain binder and a...
