    Actuator, Air Fan Clutch for M923a1

    Semi true the military does use 10wt to simplify logistics but the parts are bought to meet the military spec, and Allison would not have honored the warranty on 50000 transmissions if they didn't use a proper transmission fluid for that transmission. These trucks were not bought off a civilian...

    Actuator, Air Fan Clutch for M923a1

    Okay Juan the oil that we are talking about is not 10wt engine oil but 10wt hydraulic and transmission oil, different additives I would think, also atf has more friction and is thinner than 10wt correct?

    Actuator, Air Fan Clutch for M923a1

    As to the air sound on the intake the trumpet sound is normal when you set the park brake and release the foot petal, but a hissing out of the intake tube is not.

    Actuator, Air Fan Clutch for M923a1

    Juan I am going to disagree with you and say stay with the 10wt these transmissions were built to run 10wt by Allison and I have talked about this with many transmission rebuilders and they said stay with the 10wt.

    new headlights

    Well these are made in the USA and I doubt that a company in the USA that has a military contract would break the law and open their self to lawsuits for a few hundred headlights. Also if you get a ticket for your headlights just take it by a shop that can check the aim of the lights and have...

    MK18A1 on M977

    Thanks and sorry bikeman I learned something new didn't know they ever built those had read back when they went to building the PLS that they had looked at doing the LHS but didn't remember the acronym and never saw one, so the Marine in me automatically thought LHS boat.

    Engine Swap PROs/CONs?

    Or you could swap in a 6.5 turbo hwmmv motor and beef it up I think you could get 300-350HP out of one if you were willing to spend the money.

    Alternators alternative set up

    That's what got me to thinking about this trying to fix the ambulance without spending a lot of money, nice system recovery4x4 just don't want to go buy two new alternators that I can't find when I am on the road far away from home. 12&24volt non isolated ground are easy to get almost any where.

    Alternators alternative set up

    Free on 1009 if I do the swap and I get a easier to get parts for system( no off the wall isolated alt needed) and the same for the 1010 and the 1010 needs 24v for the AC and heater for the box. Also a separate 12v and 24v system will be easy to maintain and work on the only places it will go...

    Alternators alternative set up

    I have a 1010 and 1009 that I am thinking about setting up this way. Before anyone jumps my crap I have set up lots of 1009 cucvs to run the way they came from the factory, but the 1010 never worked right from the factory. I have read almost every thread on steel soldiers about 24 volt...

    Duramax and M1009

    The dmax will fit better than the 6bt and the weight is not that much more than a fully loaded big block and has been put in lots of vehicles. Don't let the automatic naysayers get to you, check on the builds that have been done.
