hi guys,
i replaced my rear lights, on my m275, i found out that my hydraulic stop switch (at the end of the long style airpack) is not working. i removed the connector and measured between the 2 contactpoints, 25 volt is present, i tried to measure between the 2 tips on the switch itself when...
Hi guys!! i have european light brackets installed on my m 275 nut no lights are there, only a wire, i found two diferent types, picture 1 &2 there are lights whith one orange lens and opposite a red lens ( so front and back are red and orange, together they form the housing) and the other...
Hi guys, just found out why non of my lights are working, already had an idea in the direction of the 3 lever switch because the unloch lever didn't flipped back and the service lights lever was stuck , so i took it out to replace with a working one (wanted to make sure there is no shortcut in...
never had more than 24.2 volts on the batteries, nor on the wire connected on the volt meter in the dash. i took it to a specialized shop to have the alternator tested (after changing the regulator, because i thought that one was the problem, but unfortunatly) and it turned out the rotor is...
that was exactly what made me thinking...i have a bad alternator (broken/worn out rotor) and still the gauge was reading halfway green....when hooking up a new gauge that one is halfway yellow, and still measuring 24.2 volts at the wire from that gauge. so when delivering 27.6 volts that one...
this will be a not so smart question maybe but Besides the gauge on the dash (wich should be in the green zone when running (idle), how can you be sure the alternator and regulator are fine , in working condition ? with fully charged batteries and no users, the reg. reduces the power to...
Is it true that you should start the deuce Always with lights on ? someone told me that the alternator has to deliver its produced output power somewhere because if batteries are full, and no users are switched on, it is very bad for them alternators, (because the produced electricity can't go...
hi guys,
who has a prestolite alternator in his deuce and who has a leece-neville one ?? according to a shop nearby they are the same for mounting, (even the NSN and part number should be the same) except that with the prestolite all the turning-moving parts are in the housing and with the...
ooohhwww yes, that's a lot different, but i've seen also m52 5-ton tractors with what appears to be the same fifth wheel like the one those previous 3 pics. here's some from my assembly for my M275a2 . Thanks !!
Hi guys, what's the difference between an m275 a1 and a2 ? both are SWB (short wheelbase), 2 1/2 ton tractors, same tires, is it in the engine or gearbox ? 4 or 5 speed with high and low transfer case? do they both lack the presence of a spare tire and a toolbox behing the cab ? (the m48 and...
SMGP might be strategic missile group, it can make sense, by the way, the truck is coming either from us forces in Germany or Belgium..... still no clue what the SF is standing for in this case, special forces i indeed doubt. happy newyear to all !!
hi guys, did anyone an overhaul of the part that according to me injects the diesel direcly in the intake? mine is dripping fuel at the bottom end, not on the fitting nor the 2 lines connected to it on the right side (looking from the picture) but really on the bottom. i ask myself if there is...
can be the handbrake lever return spring...looks like mine , however that one end is longer than mine...if it fits there, it is ok i think (and if it is not loose , hanging or so offcourse)
hi guys,
getting more info about the year when my m275 was build etc. but i also try to figure out where it served (must have been somewhere in europe bcse there are so called lollypop light brackets installed), the only sure way would be probably to find some markings on the bumper ...
