    Convert M817 into a tractor (M818)?

    M817 is worth more than any M818 in my book.

    Hubs - how hot is too hot?

    Most of the time they don't have to deal with that outer grease seal. So I believe two tad's too loose and the outer grease seal will leak. Remember the one we did for Chris's dad at the Ga. rally that was just done by a shop a week before. Before I took off the bearing nut I tighten the nut up...

    Exhaust Brake on an M35A2

    Nothing to worry about and just keep on getting up Greg you and Will have lots to offer. I have to think things through three times before I type and sometimes I still don't get my thoughts right in print. You guys are the mechanics I got away from trying to keep up with all the new stuff in...

    Exhaust Brake on an M35A2

    Read this again and this is where I feel if Rusty would have said about the jakes that the newer models cut off the fuel. He said the exhaust brake does in the last line not the top line. I had to read the whole thread a couple of times and at first I thought we were just dealing with the motors...

    Exhaust Brake on an M35A2

    [QUOTE=red; Disagreement was about fuel being shut off to the cylinders while the Jake brakes are active. Which is correct, fuel is not injected into the cylinders during Jake brake operation. In the later model computer engines that can control the injectors maybe you should say to keep...

    possible pump fdc H.h. failure help

    I like putting the gage between the secondary and final filter canisters. That way I can see the in tank pressure when engine off and when started the idle around 30 and high idle pressure 60. Thought the injectors popped at 3500psi so the head would have to make at least that.

    1984 M923 Inner Axle Seal and Retainer Questions

    Opened up one of mine and like you said the retainer spring is on second side pic. So believe as you said the second pic is GO or wet side. Would make sense for the install tool if one was used. That would also make me think the 5 ton is different and the seal is replaced without removing the...

    1984 M923 Inner Axle Seal and Retainer Questions

    Your seal looks like it is hub to spindle seal. The other is axle shaft to axle housing retainer. On the Deuce the retainer had to be removed to get to the seal. Could the retainer have been flipped by the last guy? I forget about the 5ton how the retainer is placed in with seal out or inside...

    Hubs - how hot is too hot?

    If I remember Ray aka tow 4 did his oil floating and they were around 120*. I had just done one of mine trucks with grease and the rear rear was running around 120* F checked by lazer.

    Exhaust Brake on an M35A2

    Don't think anyone is attacking your name. I will say on the picture you posted on my M920 and M915 where it says fuel pump switch maybe it should say PT throttle linkage micro switch for the older stuff we are working on. Though the PT is a fuel pump it might not be clear to someone that does...

    Request M35A2 Retrieval info

    Yep then no need to carry any gear oil. As I said he needed to service all bearings and slave cylinders then he is one step ahead axles out when it gets home. I always carried all fluids and to many tools and found it faster to check fluid levels. Think I made Aaron do it. Then I got smart and...

    Request M35A2 Retrieval info

    Myself 10 years. Pay to have it moved by lowboy or step deck so you can take you time and service it correctly. You could flat tow it but you must check all axles and transfer case has oil. Getting in a hurry to drive it home will only cost you more in the long run. Once home then the true...

    Exhaust Brake on an M35A2

    I would not make a good teacher. The way information is shared should be free to all without attitude or taking it personal. I much rather be a dumb azz about somethings and have the respect of all men then be a no it all and no respect. Rustystud aka Greg Will has gained a lot of respect here...

    M817 electrical

    I would agree on the ( Then again getting ready to fail forever part.) I would look into replacement or correct repair if the PCB.

    M818 Transfer case stuck in low range

    One would think it would be opposite of what it is now because you said it is in low range. All the way in is high range.
