    Cat 7155 tranny

    Quote of the year: "I'm not a military truck nut , but i probably know an M715 more intimately then i do my wife" RRacing will tell you the control manifold on the 7155 is complex beyond belief. How Cat managed to make air pressure do what normally is done by hydraulic pressure is beyond...

    Cat 7155 tranny

    Put a boost gauge on your 400 Cummins. At around 15 PSI, you are turning out about 350 hp. At 20 is about 400. If your engine is against the governor and not transmitting power, your boost gauge will read almost nothing. The oil is not heating because no energy is being absorbed by it, like...

    Cat 7155 tranny

    7155 has no converter! It has a clutch pack on the input side and a second clutch pack on the output side and in between are conventional gears. One of the two clutch packs is not getting enough air pressure to hold engagement and is slipping. Before long you will ruin the friction material...

    FMTV Air Hydraulic Unit Repair

    This is the unit that provides the hydraulic power to raise the cab. Mine functioned (barely), but was slobbering hydraulic oil all over the place, and had to be refilled all the time. Today I tore into it. Sure enough, the shaft seal on the plunger was shot, allowing high pressure oil to...

    FMTV Fan Clutch Repair

    Ever since I got my LMTV, the fan has been running full time. Makes a huge amount of noise, it is unmistakable. Well after troubleshooting the electrical and solenoid end of the system, I came to the conclusion the clutch was stuck in the on position, and I needed to R&R it. To get to it, you...

    1031 to shelter carrier dually conversion

    Your picture does not show an "adapter", it shows the hub you just bought. Those do not look like the right wheels, those are hub piloted. Edit: Picture does show adapter.

    1031 to shelter carrier dually conversion

    The wheels are a wrecking yard item, same as civi. Check the lug holes carefully when buying.

    1031 to shelter carrier dually conversion

    Adapters? The kit is an entire Dana DRW rear axle, front hubs, fender extensions, etc etc. Edit: See post 23. The DRW CUCV does use adapters.

    Yes. But also where the copper wire is crimped to the terminal. That was the culprit in the repair I made.

    Need Assistance My M1009 wont Crank

    Ryanm, welcome to the site. They don't like help in thread titles, someone will fix that for you. I just fixed a 09 that had your symptoms. Good batteries and starter, but no crank. Two possibilities, corrosion at the ring terminals on the terminal strip on the firewall, or bad connections...

    Coordination of Tri-walls surplus items - Forum Suggestion

    Where are you guys getting triwall mixed lots? Seems like GL always has things mostly categorized. Not like back in the DRMO live auction days. $300 bought you a grab box overflowing with CUCV, HMMWV, Deuce, 5 ton parts with who knows what else sprinkled in.
