    transmission oil change for HEMTT

    Well when the transmission fluid is up to temps try a full peddle run up. The motor has a governor so you won't hurt that and that Allison will handle just about anything you can throw at it. I don't know what transmission is in there so I ask you is it the computer or transmission governor that...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Thinking about it I would hate have to disassemble a truck and put it back together. My truck has all new air lines and frame wiring and to only have two air lines crossed is not that bad. Once I put down the TM's and used my head I found the problem and fixed it in less than an hour. Thanks

    Air lines problems on M915A2

    Easy no and almost loosing one mind not good. The TM's that showed the air line were no help. Just stopped crying and retraced the line from the trailer service to the additional valve on the treadle valve. As said after inspection of it something just did not seem right the way it is set up.

    Air lines problems on M915A2

    Sorry I had to correct my post#3 now it reads air from treadle and not emergency glad hand. I am so glad they only mixed up two lines. Wonder if I could get a job fixing up what they mess up at Red River.

    Air lines problems on M915A2

    I stopped crying long enough to try again for the third day of chasing down air lines. I can't believe I found it. I switched these to lines and I now have service air to trailer. This valve controls the trailer service air and it has a free sliding gravity piston that shuts off the air. I took...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Air lines problems on M915A2

    Ok TM 9-2320-363-20-2 has what I need but it is going to be a pain. Took the rear tractor protection valve apart and cleaned/oiled. I will do the front valve when it stops raining,

    Air lines problems on M915A2

    Yea the hand brake puts out air on the treadle valve and I get nothing out of service trailer line or rear glad hand service line. It does not matter if the trailer brake is in the release position or not. The trailer parking brake line is releasing the trailer parking brake as it should. I...

    Air lines problems on M915A2

    Is it all right for big boys to cry? Just got the tractor hooked to the trailer for the first test and no service brakes or hand brake. I think when they redid the truck they crossed some lines. I looked through the TM's and they showed parts but not the lines and where they go. Does anyone have...

    5 ton dump truck questions

    I might first check to see if the in tank fuel pump is pumping buy opening up the bleeder or removing the return line on the fuel tank. When the in tank fuel pump is working the air is cleared without doing anything to injection pump or injectors. This is the beauty of the multi fuel set up. If...

    Picked up a little tow job today.

    No tags or insurance on the 816 and she needs a little work. Also think she feels more loved here with me than banished to a lonely yard. Thanks Allen I might take you up on it. I think the 915 would have done it with dry roads and low speed but those dam annoying voices in my head would not...

    Picked up a little tow job today.

    I will listen to the voice of reason the 816 stays home with me. I don't need any trouble with my new 915 toy plus I need to work on the 816 and it won't get done 60 miles away. I did always preach safety when towing and the 816 can be driven to the yard some other day. Thanks.

    Fuel leak at injection pump

    The center plug is a metal to metal fit. If I remember it was 50 foot pounds but correct me if I am wrong. You need to find out what is leaking. Myself if I had trouble find it I would cut off the tin plate the has the firing order on it so I can see the top of the head better. It's just the...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Curb feelers thought you just put it in first and hit the fuel no matter what the problem is.
