Ouch. The Well the HT470 sounds like the way to go. I have prepared a rough block diagram of how to the ZF transmission is arranged and how it would need to be modified for the HT470. I forgot to mention I have a plan C for this truck...it is an amazing vehicle and has a prescience when...

How about the Allison HD 4560P 6F/1R, I didn’t realize the HD 740 was manual, I would like to go automatic if possible.

The ZF-WSK400 is over complicated, damaged, and has way to many manual gears. I think one of the hd470s would work for this application. What else is needed to operate the transmission? A selector keypad, wire harness and controller? Is the torque converter built into the the fronts side of the...

Well I have made some progress on “ole Tanker 42”. I finally got my new tires put on, and lemme tell ya that was a serious operation! Took the tire shop a month to complete, they would take two wheels at a time with their crane truck to the shop. The tires were so sealed to the wheel they had to...

Ok so I have put the title transfer off for a little while. So I can work on my disguise(and sob story) and until I address more pressing issues. I hired a heavy duty tire/wheel service company near me to come out and put on these new wheels/tubes and flaps properly. Ima going tell you, if...

Well I was able to get the first blown out wheel jacked up and removed from the 8x8. Now I just have to take the locking ring off, which looks easy in the manual but is proving to be more difficult in person. The wheel is pretty rusty. Another problem I ran into yesterday is a clerk at my local...

Thank you Miggins! Now for another question, how the heck do you Jack each the A arm so the wheel so they can be changed? Manual specifies 8 ton. Tried a 8 ton and 20 ton bottle Jack up on blocks. But the travel is something like 7” or 10”s respectfully. That wasn’t even enough to raise the tire...

was feeling a little under the weather today, so I didn’t make it out to the 8x8. I did translate the transcribe the data plate that I got a photo of, here are the results. MAN KAT 8x8 Engine ————————————— Engine Family: D2840 M Model: D2840 MFG Displacement: 18.27 Litres Fuel Injection...

I will get the real engine number and other information today when I raise the cab. Thx

The engine is a MAN D2840, 365HP, 18.72 displacement. The hydraulic lines connected to the cab over lift cylinder are damaged, so I pulled the bango bolts out and made new hydraulic hoses with new fittings to connect it to a stand alone 12 volt lift pump. I plan on lifting the cab up tomorrow to...

thank you. Do you know where I can find a list of the correct fluids/ oil/hydraulic etc and quantities for this truck? Also, need new gaskets for wheel hubs and filter types?there is an appendix at the end of one of the TMs posted here that has a huge list of various fluids but can’t really tell...

Can’t seem to find the information I need on my M1014 on the -20 TM. I need to add hydraulic fluid to the cab/wheel reservoir, since the lower part of the cab lift cylinder leaked it all out. Can some one tell me correct fill location. Is what I marked in the photo correct. Both my master...

I recently added a lot more weight onto the cab of my LMTV and when I lowered it down last week. I could hear one of the airbags hissing. After inspecting the bottom side of both bags I could see that they were also dry rotted and one has oil leaking around it. These bags are obviously hard to...
