If the front drive shaft on the M818 is not installed, how can there be any excess wear on the sprag? If it stays engaged the whole time it doesn't matter since there is no load other than spinning the flange. BTW, oddball007 has been driving his M818 without the front drive shaft for years. It...

Once you have the new cage bolts, keep them in the truck or tool box so if you ever need them they won't be rusted up or covered with mud, dirt, paint, etc.

You should also check the brake pedal pushrod to master cylinder piston clearance. The pedal should move 3/4" or so (look it up to be sure, I don't remember) measured at the pedal before contacting the piston. If there is not enough clearance, the brakes will not fully release and will...

I ran 50 psi in the front and 30 psi on the rear. If you need to carry a big load, air the back up to 50.

Change to DOT3 brake fluid if you are using DOT5. DOT5 is more compressible and will lead to a spongy and/or low brake peddle. http://www.advancepetro.com/differentbrakefluid.htm

Probably after wrecking the sleigh!

Check each electrical connection after cranking the engine for about 5 seconds. Start at the batteries and then starter solenoid, solenoid to starter motor, and all grounds. If a connection is very hot (much more than the others), that is the one to investigate first. There may be more than one...

Since we don't know what the work the mechanic is quoting, we can't tell you if that's a good price. Sounds like a lot for fixing one wheel. If he's doing all six, its not so bad. It would be a good idea for you to educate yourself by reading the TMs. Unless you find a mechanic that knows...

the vendor i talked with wants to show them there is a strong interest because they told me we would need to commit to buying a 100 for them to even consider it and they would cost around 1400.00 each so we are trying to get around that 140,000 is a lot of money out of pocket for something we...

What 74M35A2 said. The market research responsibility is on the company that wants to bring the product to market. It sounds like the intermediate here does not want to commit to buying x number of units from the fabricator/manufacturer because they don't know the demand. If you can get the...

I should be able to make it. I'm not sure which MV though.

I will be there. M915 probably.

Sounds like the guy ran Quaker State oil. My dad did in his car and when I rebuilt the engine, I had to scrape the caked oil/mud off the INSIDE of the block with a puddy knife before I could get it hot tanked.

Remove the nylon screw from the alternator with the Transpo regulator. I'm pretty sure that regulator is adjustable.

The hydraulic pump runs off the transmission PTO on the M929.

Some are going to jump up and down but if and when I do a complete job from wheel cylinders to master I switch to dot 3. Dot 5 is way over priced. I can change out the dot 3 five times a year if I wanted to for the price of dot 5 once. I did this also. The wheel cylinders in my M35A2 were all...

I use a needle fitting on the grease gun.

By the time you figure all of your expenses, it's going to cost about $1 a mile to operate a M939 series 5 ton. You will get 6~7 mpg if you're lucky. Wear items will eat you up and if you have pay someone to work on it you will need a large limit on your credit card. If you have enough $ and...

I had similar rust issues under the floor mat of my M1028A2. I just removed the mat and as much rust as I could by scraping, needle scaling and wire brushing. Then I used Ospho to treat the rust. After washing off the powder residue from the Ospho, I used red oxide primer over that. I have...

I have done this in the past. It's not hard.
