    M939 series transfer case low range / front axle engagement

    Here are pictures taken from the top (standing where spare tire sits) along with a shut off valve I installed in between air supply and transfer case interlock piston. I simply flipped the front axel engage switch flipper so it does not engage with the washer. Pete

    M923A2 anti reverse kit

    That is my next step. Pictures show the flipped switch for auto front engage along with the ball valve install on the transfer case lock out cylinder. My solenoid and cylinder works, but have put the shut off in for assurance. One note here-the threads on the cylinder are NPT-the threads on the...

    M923A2 anti reverse kit

    I have flipped the auto front axel engage limits switch arm. It now sits opposite and will not engage with washer. So, have the auto front engage taken care of. Went to check my transfer case interlock cylinder and solenoid valve. It is functioning as it should, but... My truck is like new...

    M923A2 anti reverse kit

    Removed the side of the shift tower. There are three wires that go into tower from beneath the dash. One wire is conspicuously blue in color. Thinking that is the wire that is the anti fun wire. more exploring on Sunday. Supper on and it's dark out. pete

    M923A2 anti reverse kit

    When I shift my transfer case to low range, I can not get the transmission to shift to neutral or reverse. Am guessing my truck has an anti reverse kit in it. Can somebody tell me where in the TM's this is-or is it an add on that is not in the TMs. I really need to get this sorted out. I have a...

    MK/18 hookloader compatibility ?

    I like that flatbed. I have thought of one of these with drop sides. This combination would make a decent dump truck without making it a dump truck only. Hope she is running good for you. Have you noticed what temp the engine gauge shows? Mine was pretty high which caused me to use a heat gun...

    Possibly No More Trucks from DLA

    Everything has trajectory. Given this recent action, can this lead to none of these vehicles already in private hands to be illegal to use on the road. Those active in connecting with their representatives may want to broach this subject. Best to get the issue out fully in an effort to prevent...

    M939 series transfer case low range / front axle engagement

    My m932a2 easily shifts into low range. However, once in low, tower shifter is not allowed to go into neutral or reverse. There is no way to get transfer case into high without draining the air tanks. Pumping the brakes down to what pressure will allow the shift? Has anybody by passed this? pete

    Possibly No More Trucks from DLA

    Seems the extra amount of pollution emitted from an out of control brush fire would far out weigh the difference in the amount of pollution a non conforming engine vs a conforming one would put out. But then-who am I to question this? I am just a plain ol' math kind of person. Pete

    So who has bumped the power on a 6CTA cummins

    I have looked over the TM's and on-line 8.3 stuff to learn how to adjust the idle on my 8.3. Have found a simple sketch from a motorhome site that deals with 8.3 Cummins engines-looks like the low speed adjust is near the throttle shaft-a flat blade screw with lock nut on bottom? Is this...

    M936 Wrecker PTO grind

    The only way to engage the PTO on my truck is to shut the engine off, pull the PTO lever back and restart engine. Carefully following there operation manual only serves up a grinder. Has anybody had this issue and if so, how did you correct it. Pete

    Different Shipping Company Than FastTrack?

    If it's a vehicle that runs, a guy named Jeff who works on base will recover vehicle and drive it to your location. I have his contact info and will vouch for him. He did a good job for me. if it's non vehicle stuff, GL will help load trailer or truck with a forklift at ground level. GL is...

    Converting a 923 over from motor oil in the Allison to transmission fluid.

    My M923 had a hard 2 to 1 downshift when I got it (Sparta). I changed over to approved ATF by doing four complete flushes. No noticeable change-2 to 1 downshift still harsh. Pete
