    Clutch pedal adjustment

    Last I checked, the underneath of the floorboard is what both pedal arms slam up against, so not sure it’s possible to shim either pedal further down.

    M915A1 engine choices

    915A1s went through numerous RESETs, IRONs, etc over their long career. It is my belief that the 400s were evaluated individually and either “painted black” or sent to Cummins for overhaul as determined necessary by the depot.

    Need advice please: transmission control module for 2008 Case Backhoe loader 580 SMii (industrial BHL backhoe loader)

    Yeah Case has left me high and dry on machines as well. Is this board mil specific? If not, do any machine dismantlers show to have it? Are there any 3rd party repair facilities available for this? There is a shop that fixes Allison boards. Did you try any tricks to fix your board, like...

    Water pump replacement

    Did you order Eastern Surplus part number SP-2839 for 6.2 engine? If you did and they sent you the wrong part they need to make it right. If you ordered the wrong part, like HM182, it's on you.

    Considering early 2000 LMTV for FD high water rescue work, question...

    The quotes for installed lift gates years ago were 5 digits, more than the city could go for. Hate to think what they would be now with the huge steel tariff increases we are seeing in manufacturing.

    Considering early 2000 LMTV for FD high water rescue work, question...

    Based on the extreme difficulties we had getting senior citizens and dogs up and down ladders etc, I came up with this folding stair attachment. So far nobody has smashed it, which is this design’s achilles heel.

    What can you tell me about this brake sensor?

    Recall what all the brake proportioning valve does. If the front or rear brake circuits become unbalanced, a piston moves which activates a switch (pictured) that causes the “brake” warning light to illuminate.

    Huge mistake. I won a GP auction…. Cali FMTV Project “ ‘Merica”

    A used oem shock should still be ok. Suggest a wtb ad here for someone parting a truck out.

    Oil pressure issue

    Agree. Back to brainstorming. Usually with well worn Jeep engines, the pressure can drop to zero when the oil is hot. Not right after starting.

    Huge mistake. I won a GP auction…. Cali FMTV Project “ ‘Merica”

    I thought your front driveshaft was bent as well? I would highly suggest you look into the u-joint puller tool, these caps can be stupid stuck in the yokes. Wasting hours pounding and cussing is not good use of your time out there.

    Oil pressure issue

    Are you experiencing the no oil pressure issue while cranking or while briefly running? If only cranking, maybe that is not enough speed to build up sufficient pressure. I would check mine but it's down at the moment. Maybe the oil filter is not filled yet? The pump does not look horrible.

    Oil pressure issue

    I can’t remember, is there a oil pisser on the chain drive somewhere that you might have forgotten to put back?

    Battery cables

    The box will have a conduit attached that will feed into a grommet hole in the cab floor. Positive cable goes from battery to starter, negative goes from battery to frame rail underneath cab.

    Considering early 2000 LMTV for FD high water rescue work, question...

    General Truck Body Co of Houston TX makes this for LMTVs. If you open all the gear cases after fording and find no water intrusion, you are good to go. Be sure to train your guys about hitting the fan off switch before entering water.

    Looks good! PM me if you need a windshield frame. Does the data plate say 1966?

    M 715 Kit Question

    I would imagine the SECM would have a big ol hydraulic jack in lieu of the screw jack.
