    m915a1 changed oil,blue smoke all the time.

    Likely crusty electric connections on the sender or gauge. Engine does not change temp that quickly.

    m915a1 changed oil,blue smoke all the time.

    Start with the easy fix, the turbocharger. See if the seals are blown. Also, run it hard and see if that changes things.

    Sludge in bottom of filter normal?

    I couldn't get the secondary gasket in place either from underneath. Had to unbolt the filter housing from the engine and flip it.

    Tom's Overdrive kit

    It would be nice if Tom "bundled" the design drawings, suppliers, web page design, etc, and offered it for sale to some of the established vendors (hint hint)?????

    Sludge in bottom of filter normal?

    I can reach my arm through the filler neck to the bottom to feel for yuck. If you are Popeye you may have to pull the fuel pump to reach in to inspect.

    Sludge in bottom of filter normal?

    Looks typical for 8 years. I flushed the tank with E85. Took it off and filled it with 15 gal E85 and let it slosh around in my pickup for a few days. Dissolved all the goo and slime. Then drained, flushed with water and let dry thoroughly in the sun.

    M977 radiator

    Agreed, time to remove that monster and take to an industrial radiator repair facility. Not a neighborhood radiator shop. Your radiator has clogged arteries.

    Recovery of Director Van M259A1 from NASA

    Thanks for posting. Maybe that magnesium story is BS. I read that on one of the Nike Herc vets websites.

    Recovery of Director Van M259A1 from NASA

    Had a successful recovery today of a Nike Hercules "Trailer Van Director M259A1" from the NASA Johnson Space Center. Went a lot better than my last recovery there when the alternator on my 915 caught fire at the security checkpoint. This time zero problems. NASA was using this until very...

    G-7105 and K-51 Panel van Community - search for owners!

    Just checked out your album. I think yours is about as good as they come these days. Was yours a winch model? I don't think yours ever had the radio set up in it.

    Find someone local that fixes Allison Automatics. The parts on your truck are not military only.

    G-7105 and K-51 Panel van Community - search for owners!

    You are a member of a very exclusive club. I don't recall any posts here about anyone having one of these. I have a SCR399, kinda in the same boat as you, have to figure out things by yourself. Good luck and post some pictures of your rig.

    TRK TRACT 6x6

    No, you have bad connections. Disconnect all connectors, make sure all contacts are clean, treat with contact cleaner and reassemble with a product designed for electrical connections. Also look for wiring harness damage from rubbing on sheet metal. Disconnect batteries before doing anything.

    TRK TRACT 6x6

    There were only a handful (20 maybe) of those trucks converted to the Allison. There is no documentation regarding the conversion. Make sure the controller (I think on the cab back wall) is getting power, there may be multiple feeds with both 12 and 24 volts, not sure.
