    CTIS on wheel

    Follow the hose that leads to the lug nut. Using an adjustable wrench, unscrew the bolt that attaches the banjo fitting. Don't lose the flat washer gasket underneath.

    1951 reo m35 or m59 brake issue.

    Unless the truck recently came from the military or the owner has done a high quality restoration on it, the brake fluid will be DOT 3.

    1953 M-35 reo

    All you need to do is call White Owl Parts and tell them you have a gas Reo. Memphis Equipment can help you as well. NAPA etc cannot help you.

    Data tag numbers

    2320-835-00-8597 is the NSN for the M59 dump. So you should have a short wheelbase with winch truck, fuel tank on driver's side.

    Data tag numbers

    Post a picture of your data plate and we will see. M59 is a short wheelbase dump truck that does not have much frame sticking out behind the tandem. M35 is the most common wheelbase, and will have considerable rear frame after the tandem.

    M998 headlight issues

    There is no fuse, only a circuit breaker inside the 3 lever switch, which protects all the lights, so if some lights work, that is not the issue. It is unlikely that both high and low beams are burned out in both bulbs, but you never know. I would ohm out the bulbs. If good, check the harness...

    valve replacement

    Drain oil and coolant, remove manifolds, remove injectors, remove valve covers, remove rocker assemblies and push rods, remove heads (need special wrench), compress valve springs (special tool), remove keepers, remove valves. The naturally aspirated engine is a LD465.

    Just the right front. All back together and running and moving great!

    LMTV won't self propel

    Fortunately when I got my yet uninstalled high speed gears, I saved all the axle parts that I could from the two donor axles. So I have what I need to repair. Just funny that Uncle went through the trouble of siliconing the hub on with no guts inside. Fooled me.

    Transfer case swap

    I vaguely remember in the 70's there were kits available to convert the 203 to part time. Who knows if you could find one now. For a long time on my first 880, I could not find a 203 for it, so I ran a 727 from a 2WD truck. It would do a pretty good burnout. When I finally installed a 203...

    LMTV won't self propel

    So I'm in the debugging phase of the new Bragg M1081 Airdrop LMTV. All the usual cannibalization: PDP relays missing, batteries missing, air fittings gone. So I replace all that. Ignition on, press the red button, nothing. Jump K1 relay and we have a running truck. Put it in D to move out...

    thinking about getting 419 see, need input!

    Good versatile piece of equipment? Get a Case 580. That way you can actually move dirt and not turn wrenches. I think the SEE is cool as heck, but reading all everyone's repair nightmares, I am steering clear.

    FMTV Refuses to charge air from front emergency gladhand

    Does your truck have this malady? You connect an air supply to the front emergency glad hand, hoping to get brakes up but no air makes it to the tanks. In the case of my new 1081, the culprit was the one way valve right behind the middle of the front bumper. You can remove it without pulling...

    How about slightly forward of the front spring perch? Number should begin with M if I remember correctly.
