    m35A3 Transfer case

    I agree the manual is vague and I understand the reason for the question now that I think about it. You could try the shift High to Low or Low to High while stationary and use neutral in the transmission and if it shifts fine then you have a good place to start. I would think that you would...

    Ok, The Mystery Continues

    I appreciate the knowledge that surfaces when a member has an issue and other members start brainstorming the problem with them. I hope that DABTL gets things all straightened out and I am learning a lot from this discussion....Thanks all! RL

    Bypassed the fdc, temp too high?

    I have the LDS and D turbo. I bypassed the FDC due to the engine "making oil" otherwise known as fuel getting past the FDC plunger and getting into the base. Following the FDC bypass, I had an instant increase in power and actually a reduction in smoke for the most part. I think the reduction...

    Brake bleeding doesn't seem to be going as planned

    Although I seem to manage without a pressure bleeder fine, I would say from experience Vacuum bleeding does not work, PERIOD. Too much volume to effectively pull the fluid. I use the old hose in a clear bottle from the bleeder method as I work alone and generally do not have help. I...

    What is this?

    It also could be the base for a rifle mount bottom piece to screw into. RL

    Negitive ground or positive ground

    Echoing USAFSS, I found a "regular" nut and bolt in my yoke when I got my truck. I used a nylon stop nut to replace the nut on the bolt that passes through the yoke so does not come off and I can leave the bolt so it spins in the yoke when I am done. This ensuires that it is not...

    Negitive ground or positive ground

    In general a dc motor in reverse polarity runs backwards. Your motor was running backwards if you started it with the polarity reversed. At least I would expect this is the case. It is utterly amazing how a lack of "knowledge" can compound problems better than any other thing known to man...

    Airpak not releasing

    I would not use gasket sealer. If you need to, lightly sand the flat metal surfaces to smooth them so they seal properly. The areas where is high pressure do not rely on gaskets to preserve pressure, and the rest is pretty much low pressure of the air system. If the round ring gasket for the...

    Airpak not releasing

    I pondered this last night after I shut down the computer and it occiurred to me that what you said points to the problem; i.e. the Air piston does not move freely in the cannister. I suggest that the problem is the air piston not returning all the way causing the slave piston to not return to...

    Airpak not releasing

    The air piston cylinder can be cleaned with emery cloth. Be sure to lubricate it with air tool oil before assembly and it does not hurt to prelube the piston rod and the seal on the air piston itself. You can hone the compensator hydraulic bore quite a bit as it does not act with the high...

    Airpak not releasing

    My guess, and this is just a guess, is that the hydraulic brake piston that operates the air valve piston in the Compensator in your AirPack is sticking and not allowing the fluid past and back to the master cylinder. This is the small piston that is installed directly opposite of the air...
