    what Happened to my M1101

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

    Oil Pan holes 6.5 turbo

    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.

    REO M275 truck tractor

    Guys the LDT engine in deuces came about after 1970, either factory or as retrofit. All the A2 deuces built in the 60's were LD engines. So a deuce that still has a LD engine has nothing to do with fuel trailers.

    Allison erratic after fording

    Resolved. Reseated all three cables at the WTEC3 controller behind the passenger kick panel and normal operation resumed. Amazing how even with gold terminals, resistance can still build up over 20 years and cause the self check ohms to fall out of spec.

    Allison erratic after fording

    Yes. Computer checks for open circuit and short circuit on each solenoid circuit. There are a pair of wires for each solenoid. Neither wire is grounded. Oil is fine, we only forded like 2 feet depth.

    Allison erratic after fording

    Now getting flashing "7" only, no engagement. Code is open circuit to one solenoid. Reseated the connectors at the cab and transmission, no help. Looks like time to break out the ohm meter.

    Towing M211 with tow bar

    If you don't pull the driveshafts, make for sure the transfer is in neutral. I was towing a M221 and either I did not get it in neutral or it jumped into gear. Soon the truck became super hard to pull. I stopped and the Hydramatic was super hot.

    REO M275 truck tractor

    Correct, and not all 6 ton trailers either, the 313 and 447 etc were pulled by 5 ton tractors. But they sure look the best behind a 275.

    REO M275 truck tractor

    The Army would have NEVER put the fuel trailer behind a 275. Way to heavy. 275's pulled 146, 118, 119 etc.

    Yup, my Bragg LMTV has a similar laundry list of deficiencies. Seems like the SOP at Bragg is run it until it won't move and then off to auction.
