Post #45 What did you do to your M37 today? | Page 3 | SteelSoldiers

Do not know why your throw out bearing went bad. Myself whenever I did a clutch throw out bearing replacement after pedal adjustment I would take off the cover off the bottom of the bell housing and with the engine running look up in there with a flashlight and make sure to throw out bearing is...

Myself I would hold off on removing the hydraulic head as the op says once he gets it started it will run. I sent a PM telling him to remove the cap and not to lose the spring and check the delivery valve. Also he can remove the cap and check the overflow valve is not all gummed up. Same thing...

Have you even checked the fuel control unit assembly? It should work freely and be in the 7:00 position. With your finger you should be able to push it towards the firewall and let it go and it snap back to 7:00.

You can put a 0 to 20 psi gauge on the bleeder screw and try cranking the engine over and see what kind of pressure you're developing.

I know you said you checked the phasing but were you real careful and looked really closely mine was only two splines off. I thought it was my hubs too same thing as yours the same noise I ran all six of mine set the lash according to Steve's 6x6x6 way of doing it. Took her for a ride no change...

On a good working system the in tank pump will circulate fuel through the entire system and back to the fuel tank before you hit the starter. The thing is throwing me off is he said he's having some high running pressures almost 80 psi. On a good running system and the whole system primed we...

Is your flame heater deleted? That will put a lot of extra fuel into the system if it was malfunctioning.

I do not believe his plunger timing button and clip has fallen off because he said it run fine after getting it started. The IP booster has a bypass built in and if it is open / leaking it puts the fuel from the booster back into the fuel inlet of the booster. Do not know if this could cause a...

Thank you. Yeah I cut my teeth with that triaxle making deliveries from the quarry of up to 17 tons upshifting and downshifting all day long in Northern Virginia the beltway Washington and Maryland. Then when I went over the road with US Express it was kind of nice to be able to stretch it out...

Let's get one thing straight I never said floating the gears are better. Definitely steering wheel holders should not try this. I said I can float gears if I wanted to. What I did say and standby is you do not push the clutch all the way to the floor when you're moving. When I said I just bump...

For those that have never seen or heard of a clutch brake and how it works and when you can and cannot use it if you want it to last. Watch till the very end if you want the truth about the clutch brake use. Lot of good information on Google and YouTube videos but that's not where you learn how...

Rusty myself I have found their steering wheel holders and their are drivers. The clutch break is only used when you're stopped and going into first gear or reverse. You can wear out and or ruin a clutch break by using it for regular shifting through all the gears. Also double clutching or...

Okay I kind of see machines as people you got to kind of figure them out. What they like what they don't like. My GMC had a 6v92 silver and that Fuller 10. Heavy load going upgrades up shifting I would shift on the governor and I wanted to be quick because I don't want to lose too many RPM on...

Same here deuce or a 5-ton second low second high then run the other three out in high and no double clutching. Now the Fuller 10 speed I had in my GMC dump truck yes I could float the gears and take my time and match the RPM no problem. Now when I had 17 tons on and pulling a grade I would bump...

It shifts out of reverse sprag when you go in to neutral. People have said you have to shift in to first first but this is incorrect. Yes poppet valve can go bad with O rings or gaskets. I have posted that is if you have a 809 series remove the battery box cover. Then with a real long 1/4...

Well good thing we don't have to lay on our backs with the 939 series with a forward folding hood and removable inner fender well. 809 a little tougher unless you're a skinny boy using the access panels or remove the fender. Been 13 years since I removed a PT pump but I still rather do three PT...

No you cannot turn both nuts at the same time. This is where some people have messed up and you'll bust off the threaded shaft from the wedge plate. You have to use very thin wrenches and hold the inside nut so the shaft does not move and then loosen the outer jam nut. I know the TM says full...

Myself I do not even worry about how many threads are showing. I mark the inner nut with a black magic marker so I can see how may flats I am turning it. While adjust fuel / temps you do not have to tighten up the outer jam nut. Just find the adjustment that keeps your Temps. down while under...

69Deucejuice if you do strip the Cummins and need to get the PT off the half moon wrenches make it a snap with the correct one. The top inside bolt is the hard one and all you have to do is just break it loose. Then use your finger the rest of the way. Much easer to remove and install than doing...
