The front brakes are not part of the parking brakes. Does the front brake release with zero air pressure in the system? That would mean air system issues. If brake still engaged with or without air, you have a stuck plunger mechanism on the brake air canister.

There were no civilian M915A1s. 58 mph is against the governor, that is all any of them will do. Just takes a little longer to get somewhere that's all.

Yes the distributor drives the oil pump. Can say for nearly certain this was operator error. Is the distributor dimensionally identical? You will need to rebuild your seized lower end. Top end likely ok.

A 4' round hole pattern could be for quad mount. Rectangular pattern could be generator. Director would have holes to attach the house.

There were many uses for those such as generator or director. Hole patterns may tell the story. Likely from Holloman NM. A little overkill for a mule but so what.

I saw my first skysweeper AA towed gun at Leo Porter's yard in DFW years ago. He said he towed it there with one of his Chevy repower M715s. Later when I learned this ginormous M8 was intended to tow JUST THAT gun, I thought "not one of Uncles better ideas". With a tank powertrain, it gets...

Whole front of the motor for an IP replace? Nope, read the manual. IP rebuild should run you around $500. If diesel don't come out the injector lines with the solenoid pulled in and fuel in and out, you can be sure the IP is a goner. Lots of plastic parts inside that don't last forever.

Anybody else spot the M246 tractor wrecker bed/crane mounted to the back of it? What a foolish idea to attempt to resurrect that antique for a gold mining operation. That thing is 70 years old! Every seal and rubber part is shot. Belongs in a museum with a skysweeper hooked behind it.

Only Caiman II MRAP wheels with standard 10 hole Budd pattern.

GTB trucks of all variants are rare, production numbers were around 10,000 if I recall. Sure if the bomb hoist were missing I would say make a prototype clone. But yours is a survivor and to deconstruct it is kinda not what I would do. That hoist has to be one of the most useful features ever...

Don't trust your voltmeter! Mine reads zero, 22, 24, 28, 34 depending on how hard you tap on the glass. Verify with a known good vom at the power points near the PDP.

That would be easy were it not for the 24 volt requirement of the WTEC control.

Could be excessive moisture in crankcase steaming out. Change oil before condemning engine.

What is the number to the right of 17,000 lbs? I can't read it on your picture.

Use the port in the head, disconnect the line that goes to the PCV valve.

Go rent a transmission jack, 1000 times less work.

I sure don't see much grease on the remaining bearing. Maybe someone assembled it dry.

Is that a GM or GEP engine? GM will have GM embossed on the valve cover, GEP will have a label on the valve cover and Navistar diamonds in the engine valley.

Welcome. Needs "Texas Truck" registration, TXDMV number, USDOT number, driver needs CDL "B".

What is that paddy wagon looking shelter? First I have seen that. Thanks for the pics.
