You need to use the correct bolt or your just asking for trouble in your brakes.

I remember the 4X4 show on cable TV did a 4X4 Bobber out of a deuce. They went with air-bags instead of springs. Looked real good. Air bags are a great way to go for ride comfort. Kenworth-Peterbuilt went to air-bag suspension back in the 1960's . All our busses are also air bag suspension. You...

Cucvrus I sent you a PM last night about your NOS front springs for the M1028 . Still have them ?

Are you talking about the "pop-off valve" on the air tank ? That takes between 140 - 150 PSI before it blows. I agree with gimpyrobb , you have a couple of problems. The air gauge is bad and since you already replaced the governor that more then likely means your air-compressor "unloader valves"...

I've seen it put backwards back in the 1960's ! So it isn't just a modern phenomena . I've always felt there are two kind of people in the world. Those with an innate sense of mechanical ability and those who cannot even use a hammer correctly. My brother falls in the later category. I...

The Banjo bolt has a hole in it for the fluid to go through. So a normal bolt will not work.

Here are some pictures showing what I mean. The first two show the HD cover with support rods. the third shows the case and how it's already drilled and tapped for the HD cover. The fourth picture shows the 8 bolt holes for mounting the pump housing. Standard units have only 6 or sometimes 7...

The HD case is "thicker" then the standard case. I have actually cut them open to verify this. Also the clutch packs will be bigger. Meaning they will be "5"clutch packs instead of "4" . Do you have the aluminum torque converter cover ? That is a good thing to have. It has provisions for brace...

I have a question for you "cucvrus" . What is the measurement on good springs between the rubber snubber and the "reverse style" springs ? I'm debating on replacing my front springs on my M1028 . I cannot find a factory measurement on what the proper distance should be. Mine are 1.5" right now...

The stack flap is a "Good" thing to have. That's why the military installed them on the deuces later on. Keeps the rain and crap out when not in use. Just be sure to put the flap facing the rear of the truck !

Totally agree about the F700 series truck. That is a good hauling truck.

I knew there was someone here that had or drove a F550 that could add some insight on the whole axle issue. See post number #10 . http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?152996-Supporting-14-000-curb-weight

Looking good !

C. Georgia doesn't have a lot of artic weather but these sure do help with the rush of hot air coming up through the floor in the summer! Especially since I have dual spring ride seats-it's a pure vertical rush of hot air coming up through the transfer case hole in the floor when you're...

Before anyone says all those oils where for "On-Highway" use , well the AT500 series transmission is an On-Highway transmission. All "off-road" vehicles are graders and dozers and loaders and such.

For everyone else's edification I have posted all the "Allison" approved fluids and manufactures. Note there is not one that lists any engine oil. There is a reason for this. Modern engine oils are not the same as they where back in the 1970's and 1980's when the C-4 classification was in...

I have seen heads cause this problem and also a vapor lock do it too. On one engine I had to open up a drain port on the back of the engine to get the coolant to flow out. What would happen is the area that was not getting coolant flow would super heat causing steam to build-up in the engine...

I agree ! After I saw your set-up I went and bought two. One for the transmission and one for the transfer-case. They work great !

OK I see it now. I thought you had reinforced it somehow. About your comments section, Yes I'm glad we are under Grace ! One of my favorite verses is Romans 8:1 . I like the idea of "No condemnation" .

Again your misrepresenting the facts. That MO is OLD ! There is no longer any engine oil that is cleared by Allison. It is obsolete. You finally mentioned that the engine oil was to be used "off-road" only. After I called you on it. As to getting upset about anyone correcting me, if you have...
