    HEMTT M977 - Crank, No Start

    The 60 psi was from a motor home forum so I took it with a grain of salt.

    Deuce Rear Hub Runs Hot

    Yep leaning with just a little more weight to one side. Yep got to measure drum too. Last time I did the IR I tried to slow down off the highway in to the rest area with no brakes till the very. Got to love a Jake Brake but that was my 915.

    In Tank Fuel pump replacement

    Was there not a thread where the OP just drilled and pinned the bottom plate to the housing? That's saying you can retreve all the inner plates from the tank. I am still looking for the red top parker replacement pump with it's 10 psi.

    Deuce Rear Hub Runs Hot

    Last time I did the IR gun on a greased bearing with outer rubber seal unloaded they all were real close to 120*. Yes friction from rubber is friction and could add something to the total. Now to me if all three were running at 120 and one was 175* I don't think I would be looking at the outer...

    Deuce Rear Hub Runs Hot

    Look at what the industry calls for the torque on the first seating of the bearing. This is the way I have done it on all my trucks military or nonmilitary. I also pack my trough's. Over heat then preload to tight...

    Storage Bin recommendations for M101A2

    Think like crack I am addicted to Hardigg military storage cases. Between the aluminum med boxes and plastic cases I must have about 75 stacked up around.

    Deuce Rear Hub Runs Hot

    Nope:naner: Not enough friction to cause and over heat.

    Deuce Rear Hub Runs Hot

    After your 100 foot pound load while spinning then back off then setting preload at 50 foot pounds how far are you backing of that?

    Deuce Rear Hub Runs Hot

    I really can not believe that a rubber seal would heat up a hub. Bearing pre load or weight on the axle would make more sense to me.

    HEMTT M977 - Crank, No Start

    I am liking Will's thought of checking the fuel pump pressure at the secondary.Thought it was 60psi from reading but yea needs no air and pressure. Would seem if you have a full system up to the primary and you primed up the secondary to clear the head then she should have fired. Would seem if...

    HEMTT M977 - Crank, No Start

    I was thinking all silver 92 series were mechanical and the DDEC came out with the four stroke. Google was my friend and some of the silver 92 series did run with the DDEC system. Mine was not but I did not have Allison automatic. Did the 92's that had the DDEC system also have electronic...

    HEMTT M977 - Crank, No Start

    I leave my hand primer hooked up to the primary filter base on the 3-53 in the crane that sits for long times. The hand primer is a nice thing to have if you have the Detroit. You need a gallon jug of clean diesel, and enough hose so you can hook it to the primary filter base and still have...

    HEMTT M977 - Crank, No Start

    Did they put on a emergency shut down cable on the motor? My 6V92 and my 8V92 in my dump trucks did not have one but some older Detroit's had the emergency shut down that had to be reset by hand. It was a flapper that closed off the air to the blower. Also Detroit's really like the mechanical...

    Fan Clutch Issues

    If I remember some use air to in gage some use disengage. I like the one the was replaced on my 920. It took air to disengage and I liked that one. If there was an air problem the default was to lock up and the truck could still use the fan to cool till the problem was fixed. There was no bolts...

    torquing head studs for oil leak

    Yea thanks. Thought some said they were going with ARB and I have the TD block. I did not know about the higher torque on the TD blocks.

    Polaris MV850

    You will have fun with it. The trick to polaris with there drive belts is to know when to put it in low range. This will keep from glazing the belt or burning one up. Sometimes I get pretty far from camp by myself so I carry an extra belt, the clutch tool and some side cutters ( wire cutters)...
