For our "little" data center we have UPS', motor-generator and two big diesel generators sitting on pads outside. The diesels get tested once a month and we frequently (relative term) test when power gets re-wired. Even with all that we have still had power outages. If it is built by a human...

Are you pulling it as a power pack or separating and taking it out that way? Gimpy and I did the power pack removal. Faster but we put the engine back in by itself. Transmission install took longer than pulling and installing everything. Just not our day....

The parts list was moved to the correct thread to keep this thread from getting cluttered...

Power outages happen all the time. Power outages inside an ISP's hosted data center do not. I would be very not happy.

Welcome aboard and by all means stop by Haspin for the rally.

You should be able to squeeze it down 4 inches and back or pull it in.

Half inch? Maybe with a destroyed tire but you will never get it that low and still have a good tire.

For those who have not been to any function with Ferro I'm sure something will be done. Today he worked on his M37 and got it running at Zout's cookout. Last fall he move a wrecker bed on another truck at the fall rally.

Have you tried putting some acetone/ATF mixture on it? Mix some up and let it sit a day and try it again.

Actually I just posted that I had never heard of anyone having one go bad. Seems like you are the first and from Ohio at that. Good luck.

I think before I would run the risk of ruining the tail end of my transmission I would read the manual.

At the end of the day almost any new filter is going to be better than leaving the old ones in. But the Deuce and 5-ton parts list has the numbers.

Hmmm, cheaper than airplanes as a hobby.....maybe. I know some on here could probably buy several planes for what they have invested in MVs. Welcome aboard. :-)

Or you could use YouTube search: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=rebuilding+alternators&oq=rebuilding+alternators&gs_l=youtube.3...2273.9496.0.10013.28.12.3.13.14.0.58.378.12.12.0...0.0...1ac.1.11.youtube.g06ZnmhB1O0 Maybe that will help too.

Just off hand is that the overheating problem warped a head causing the failure of a head gasket. It went downhill from there. :-) But that is a guess.

Welcome aboard from Ohio.

I guess that counts for something.

Do the parts we discussed look good enough for me to want to use?

How can you call that a recovery if you didn't lose any skin or blood?

I don't think I have ever heard of anyone losing an Allison out of a 939 series truck. 809 series transmission yes, 939 no. Allison has a reputation for building bullet-resistant transmissions for as long as I can remember. (Bullet-proof would imply you just need a bigger bullet.)
