    Pretty sure my air packs shot.......

    Great it did. Wonder if someone better than me on the computer could put it all in one piece for downloading? Owell if it helps anyone than good.

    Pretty sure my air packs shot.......

    My military International Harvester book says to fill it till it runs out after install. That seems like a lot but it does say after install. I can't remember what our TM's say but it was not like that. Also says every six months but I bet that is when heavy use. Guess we could discuss the...

    Pretty sure my air packs shot.......

    I would just use regular air tool. As for the square plug in the canister I might go with a couple of ounce's and rotate it around up and down round and round then drain out when ever comes out. Then just service it on a regular bases using the amount the TM calls for. I have found two different...

    Pretty sure my air packs shot.......

    Just make sure you use some air tool oil on the incomming air line and the square canister plug before you use it. Can be done on the work bench. I might stand the air pack up when you do the square plug and twist the whole air pack around to get the oil all over the walls of the cylinder and to...

    Wheel Lug Nuts & Studs and Anti-Seize

    Maybe we should move on and as said just let the OP decide to use or not. I did contact Meritor and they advise not to. I like they say advise or recommend and cover there donkey.

    Liftgate

    No worries I don't do that thing myself most of the time it's the Mods. I just wanted to see how far you were from me and now I know. A hop, skip and a jump.:driver:

    Wheel Lug Nuts & Studs and Anti-Seize

    Just one opinion but fun to watch. What else is there to do when it's raining.https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=youtube+anti+seize+and+torque&view=detail&mid=34F03C9BE9419E13164734F03C9BE9419E131647&FORM=VIRE

    M936a1 and driveways?

    I have 8 inch work pad and I don't worry about anything plus I too have an wrecker. Four inch I would stay off it.

    Liftgate

    Sorry but as per rules your location needs correcting. I have a military 5 ton expandable truck with a lift gate if it is correct we might make a deal. Believe it can be removed one way or another. The trucks are 60 miles from my home and next time I go there I could take some pics.

    Wheel Lug Nuts & Studs and Anti-Seize

    You know me I like to push right or wrong but this is a discussion forum. I am will to bet the Merritor engineer first said with all new studs, thimbles and nuts we recommend a dry torque with a couple drops of oil. I bet they put nothing in writing to the use of anything but a couple of drops...

    Wheel Lug Nuts & Studs and Anti-Seize

    Because of this thread I bought the broken thimble tool plus a very pricy torque wrench to do my wheel nuts. This is because now with the 915 freightliner and my trailer with the new S cam axle I hope to be on the road more. A friend is trying to talk me into the cross country military convoy...

    Wheel Bearings - Preload Question

    Found this. How would we teach a person that has limited experience with what the lash should feel like. No we would use a dial indicator to double check what we have done. We seem to think the old TM's are the bible and just because I did it that way does not make it correct. In one of your...

    Wheel Bearings - Preload Question

    I don't know Timken says use a dial indicator so we take the time to do it right these days. Thought you even said it awhile back dial indicator was the only correct way. What if it is a customer then he has to pay the price. I will do my own old military stuff as said the TM's way but as I said...
