Yea all my USMC 816's had the No Spin just like the pictures of the Detroit No Spin. Even the one that came out of a 916 was much bigger but same looking as the ones on the 5 ton Detroit No Spin. When I bobbed two 5 tons I used the USMC axle with the No Spin. Guess through the years we started...
OK now just waiting on a new shorter belt. The stock arm does not have a curve in it so there is only about a little over one inch of travel to adjust the belt tension on this set up. The belt that was on mine was 54 inches and I ordered one that is 52 inches so we will see. I got the new pully...
I just sold my last NOS Detroit No Spin last year to a member at the Trenton Rally. I picked it up maybe 13 years ago at the Ga. rally . Maybe take outs from a USMC 5 ton MV. The Detroit No Spin that was first put in the MV's and most USMC were called Detroit No Spin Truetrac. The Truetrac name...
The Detroit lockers Tructrac that were in our older military trucks are Detroit lockers. See in the pic of web sight. Yea they work real well but not good on trucks that make a lot of hard turns on payment. Now there are more designed offered and still people call them Detroit lockers but...
Torque does not hold the locker together it is two big springs on both sides. Power turn or coasting turn the locker will unlock. I have one for a 916/ 920 I will get some pics as it is apart in my shop. You can see how the ramps on both side ratchet if one axle is allowed to spin faster than...
Per the help of member pjwest03 aka Harlan starting in on my one wire alternator upgrade. I still have a 16 /19 mm pully on order but things looking good so far. I am using all my stock brackets and as of now looks like I will need a shorter stock belt. Had to rework the alternator just a bit...
Looking good and glad to see another member joining the M37 club. I just joined this past month. Already spending money on just a couple of little things that were needed on mine.
Pretty sure a Detroit locker is always locked. Under power, coasting straight or even sitting in your driveway while your asleep. Only lets loose when the conditions on one axle is allowed to spin faster then the other.
I was going to switch out my 1088 Holland articulating plate with the Holland plate on my 915 to raise the nose of my trailer when using my 915. Same plate, I was just going to remove the two little front stop plates and slide the fifth wheel forward till off the rails. I just needed a couple of...
I think you need a little tool box. M373A2 with a new not takeout 25000 lb. S cam air axle. Good shape and in less you want to buy all / any of the plastic storage boxes they do no come with the deal. The steel tool / storage boxes are bolted in and come with. Will deliver to Denton or close...
Thanks Dave. Yea my corners of the seat base do not have those pins. Maybe it is a reproduction seat base. I did see on the bottom of my seat installed in the wood a metal fitting in the corner to hold the pin. It only has one metal fitting, guess they did not put the other one back in or it was...
I can not find the Allison article now but it said 20 minute warm up on transmissions using motor oil. Or when the transmission temperature gage says 100*. With as much engine oil as some of our engines hold I let my engine oil limber up for at least 10 minutes. If I am using the 915A2 that...
If and when you get a SF97 double check all the numbers before you go to your DMV. They had the wrong tare weight on my trailer but they did correct it when I sent it back to Texas.
