    bad water pump?

    Dittos on leaking. I've only seen one that had a rusted off impeller. If it's over heating and there's not a puddle on the ground, it's something else.

    Lock out on forward rear axle, to prevent drive line bind

    I was pretty happy my stock Deuce got 10 MPG. I had a 440 Duster that only got 10 MPG running 100LL (but was fast), and a '79 Dodge Power wagon that got 11 MPG. If you are starting in the single digits for fuel mileage, you are not going to see a huge improvement. Just suck it up and quit...

    M915A1 Trailer Air Supply Valve Operation

    After looking at the air system diagram, I think I have it figured out. I have to look at the truck to be sure, because it's a little different from the air system diagram in the -20 TM. I'll post up when I'm finished.

    M915A1 Trailer Air Supply Valve Operation

    Reading through the M915A1 -10 TM, I see the tractor parking brakes have to be released before the trailer air supply valve can supply air to the trailer. I did verify that mine works this way. I imagine either the military had this requirement, or that's the way trailer air systems worked in...

    Happy birthday to me (trans cooler failed)

    You realize it doesn't take much water to turn the oil white. Depending on the type of oil, you are only looking at a fraction of a percent to a few percent of the volume of oil. Considering how many times you have changed the oil, I think the level of contamination is down to the point you...

    Is this a vacuum test port?

    With .456 gears, it really doesn't matter if it goes straight from first to third. My valve was bad so I by-passed it. If you need to accelerate faster, you can shift it into second manually. I think I have done that twice. I really don't notice much difference in acceleration manually...

    Hmmm..do you like low flying aircraft?....then here ya go!

    A buddy of mine was flying for a company "down under" that I will not name. On this particular day there was a company party going on at one of the big wheels plantation. They were running late getting back and were worried about missing the party. Turns out the plantation was on the coast so...

    Allison Governer screen filter

    I asked that question and didn't get a reply. You can look up the pn and find a picture and its just a screen. Nothing fancy, I didn't change mine.

    Happy birthday to me (trans cooler failed)

    What kind of pressure is on the cooler line? If its low enough, maybe you could try running it through a water separating fuel filter.

    Maryland State Inspection: I need your advice!

    There are dust covers on the back that can be removed with out pulling the hub and wheels. You can see both brake shoes if all they need to do is measure them.

    Warm-up issues M923-cummins 250 NHC

    I have not had it not get to operating temperature since I replaced the thermostat. And I have driven it in 40 F temps (I know, HA, HA) last winter. The bypass flow is not that much, it will take longer in cold WX and If you are in real cold WX you need a cold WX front, but we don't see that in...
