Hi to find leaks on the Sherman/m10 6046 engines I do what the manual says which is with fuel in the engine fuel system ie it has run,pressure the engine fuel system to 60psi with shop air line and look for leaks.
This works well has shown leaks on filter housing that were dry when running .
You...
I guess you could keep the speedometer where it should be and mount rev counter some where else just with a longer flex cable if you wanted to and with a right angle drive could mount up where the wiper motor is.
Is it quite accurate on the revs per minute?
Hi in the m916 manual it says the axles should have GO 85/140 oil, what oil is this in the civilian world?
Also transfer case is go 80/90 again what oil is this in civilian world?
This is the recommended oils for +32 Fahrenheit up wards.
Hi, if you have up and down movement on the output flange (I.e the brake disc rotor) of a Humvee, no oil leaks, flange nut is tight. How do you get rid of this play?
It's causing no problems, no noises, I just noticed that of the four output shafts one has play.
Thanks
Hi it's the thought that counts!
i did private message a member on this forum who has one on the standard 11r24 wheels and tyres and they did get back to me.
it would rest on the diff housing and I would loose 10 1/2 inches.
i had already factored in removing the exhaust stack ��
Hi could some one with a M916 6x6 (cat 7155 transmission) standard wheels and tyres, let me know if you were to unbolt the frount wheels
what would it rest on ie frount brake drums or axle diff case
and what hight reduction would it give me having removed the wheels.
i need to loose 19 inches...
Hi with so many makes of oil filter available for the diesel Humvee engine which is the best quality ie filtering price aside?
Have seen on YouTube various filters cut open and the filter medium pretty poor in some.
I thought I read on this forum that you can get different gears for the hub reduction in each wheel to get higher road speed.
i also remember seeing a m1070 for sale with what the advert said higher gears in all the hub reduction.
can any one elaborate on this ie how much and where to them and...
Hi if you have all the wheels on one side on ice and the other side on the road (no ice good surface) in low range and power divider air switch in centre of dash engaged then in theory it would not move only the wheels on ice spinning.
i have not owned or worked on the caterpillar powered ones...
Hi I did it the other way round m1009 engine in to Humvee if you have the m1009 engine then you can change all the parts over ie manifolds sump glow plugs.
the non over drive transmission factory set up would be the th400.
Hi can not vouch for German but have not come across any military vehicle that is civilian owned in the USA that I could not export to the uk.

Hi does any one have a picture of the tool that is called puller kit in the pitman arm replacement section of manual tm 9-2320-387-24-1 volume no.1 part 2?
looked in the tool section but no mention or pictures.
in the manual it appears to be the same tool to do the lower wish bone ball joints too.
Hi do any of you guys have or use a 2stroke petrol Impact inch drive gun?
have found it very useful and can use anywhere not had a lug nut it could not undo.
did shatter a made in China 36mm socket though whilst trying.
the railroad use them in the uk.
The industrial twin pack is a bigger transfer case as in the output casting is deeper it is a geared down out put i.e. Out put drive is slower then crankshaft speed.
Also no fan drive tower or gears on the balance shaft/ cam shaft cover.
and the tank version runs a triple oil pump
