Mine was whining and it ended up being a clogged filter with fine clutch material and the pump was making the whine. i did not let it go more the a few miles before sucking the fluid out and changing the filter but I could not get any fluid to flow through it even in the parts washer. After i...
I dont think a higher stall will be any benifit or be good for the diesel application unless you are racing in a realy worked truck. The higher stall means the truck wont move until a higher Rpm is reached. Used commonly in lopy race engines with auto trans to prevent the hickup effect at...
I had the blues in a previous build with a 383 stroker and they were great. I have been running the 400 doubler in the 08 for about a year I guess and no problems at all. I did not drill anything, I did some spring changes and gov upgrades all using OEM parts just not necessarily from the...
Your right, I was thinking theory but not actual. in theory, that is how I want to do it but to divide power to go through the front to the rear I dont think would be possible in these trucks. I was more looking to release the rear axle drive shaft using a disconnect that would allow better...
The bendix has a sprague in it so when the starter is engaged it will start the engine and just like if you held the key too long the bendix is kicked out by the flywheel rotation and the motor will still spin but the bendix drive will not be fully extended. I have had this happen and it...
I had 3 on my 16' trailer. I just pulled the pins/bolts and folded them like they were designed to for air craft transport. I was moving 101a2 trailers though.
I was thinking more along the lines of the WARN 424 kit that they made for ATVs but on a larger scale with an air actuator. Most of the civy trucks have this type of thing and it disconnects the rear drive axle and allows it to follow the first screw in cornering. Obviously you will not be...
I went with the blue plate special clutches, HD 28 roller sprague and upgraded planets and the case protector which is required for any case even the HD case and a 6 pad converter for the diesel. You dont realy have alot of hp with the 6.2 so you dont need to go crazy. The only thing I wish I...
Since I have been running the M816 almost daily and need the 6x6 capability I have the interim drive shaft installed between the 2 read axles but as most of you know this makes it difficult sometimes to turn a corner as there is no differential in the drive line between the rears. I was...
I have been asking state officials about something like this for well over 15 years and the issue only goes so far then it falls off the table. I have not been on the trails as much because of all the idiots out there thinking they can do what ever they want and believe it or not allot of them...
I had a starter die on my(Delco) after almost 10 years and went the cheap route of one of those eBay 28mt clones and now am on the third one in about 5 months. What happens is the button in the solenoid gets burnt or corroded(Both happened) and you get the click and no power across the large...

That was the stock type Delco starter wasn't it. When they are rebuilt the use a kit which includes a Shunt and when it is hot it causes the starter to spin slowly. Best way to fix it is to take it out and take it back to the re builder and have them remove the shunt. Wrapig the exhaust will...
I bought a case of the WIX 24067 oil filter adapter kits that are suposed to be for the NHC250 Cummins in the M809 series trucks. I was in the process of doing my oil change in the M816 today and low and behold the adapter does not fit. Does anyone have any issues with the WIX adapters...
