But the oil that would be in contact with the spindle bushings is the oil in the hub, correct?

Okay, so I've spent more time than I care to admit trying to find a GL4 gear oils. Most of the oils, like Valvoline say GL% and can also be used in GL4 applications. However, from what I have learned from talking with the tech folks at several major oil companies, is that a gear oil cannot be...

Curious which GL4 oil you are using?

By the way, apparently you can't buy NYK77 in California:(

Thanks, I'll order some. Sounds like loads of fun getting to those connectors:)

The gauge on the tank shows the fluid level to be 7/8, but there isn't oil above the strainer that unfortunately can't be removed. Dipping a zip tie through a hole in the strainer confirms the level to be just below the strainer, so I don't think fluid level is the issue. I'm going from memory...

Amazingly, not much comes up when you search for "gear oil" relative to what is required for the Meritor axles. My understanding is that GL4 gear oil is specified and I'm curious if that is because of GL4 being safe for yellow metals? Reading through a Meritor maintenance document, they...

I have a $h!t load of electrical stuff to address. Noticed today a bunch of the wires in the CTIS harness have been wrapped with electrical tape, so I'm guessing the insulation was chewed by mice. That will take some time to fix correctly. Found this behind the dash today. Pretty sure these...

Yes, I have the TM's and will read through the operation of the winch. The A1R, and I think the A1 as well, no longer have the hand throttle.

Thanks. I found that thread when I did a search earlier. I'll read through it.

Did a search but didn't really find much. My truck is a 2008 M1078A1R with the factory winch. Truck is new to me and I am new to these trucks, so in the steep learning curve of a new S&S owner. The winch cable was loose on the drum and hanging down below the drum, so yesterday I thought I...

Well, maybe I'm using 4 rather than 2, so only one full additional set, plus a couple of spares, if someone wants it.

Okay, I believe these are the correct gasket. They have a $20 minimum order, so I ad to buy 10 of them, and shipping was ridiculous for what they are $28! Anyway, I keep a spare set for myself, so I'll have enough left for 3 trucks if anyone wants to buy them, I'll sell them for what I paid plus...

Anyone have a source for the gaskets for the gen 2 trimark handles? The Mil part number is 50127, for one side, but Joe at MWME says they have to be the same part even though there are two part numbers. They don't have them in stock and are going to inquire with Trimark to see if they can order...

Ahh, so the button threads off the shaft, not the shaft out of the latch. On mine the shaft is spinning with the button. I'll hold the shaft with some needle nose pliers. Thanks

That's what I thought, but mine just spin, so I'm assuming the captive nut in the plastic is spinning. I also have new latches and lock boxes coming, so hopefully that nut is in the latch otherwise I'll have more new parts to source.

By the way, when the gauge would drop to 0, the stop engine and low oil pressure lights did not come on, so the ECM must have still been seeing oil pressure. I'm guessing the issue is with the gauge or wiring behind the dash.

I assume just the typical CAT C7 part.

What's the trick for removing the round plastic lock knob. I don't want to break it. is there some trick I'm missing?

So, when I was back in Maryland helping the guy I bought my truck from do all the maintenance on it before driving home, one of the first things he had me do was install a new oil pressure sensor. He said the oil pressure gauge was periodically acting weird, and would drop to 0 PSI. That...
