    Axle interlock vs 8X8

    I am talking about getting power to all 4 axles in High range which cannot be done unless there is another axle interlock lever . Thus, transfer case in high range, dash lever in 8X8 and an over ride lever for axle interlock. Then all 4 axles will be powered in high range, not just low range...

    lmtv 1078a1 brake lights stay on!!!

    Does the truck have a trailer brake handle? If so make sure it isn't applied, even slight application will turn the brake lights on.

    M923A1 rocking back and forth

    What do you mean by, "Motor brake?" The NHC does not have engine brakes(Jake Brake) on it unless someone has modified it. Sandcobra is right though about flat spotting from sitting.

    Hemtt Detroit idle adjustment?

    What is it idling at? The tach should show about 6-700rpm. The sound of those 2 strokers is misleading as they sound a lot faster than they really are.

    8D Batteries made a difference

    My M985 HEMTT came to me with 2 8Ds in it. Last weekend (Sat. 7/2) I took it to a car show and after returning it to the yard (at about 3:30pm) I forgot to turn off the park lamps (Frt. and rear markers). It sat that way til 6am Monday 7/4 (38.5 hours). When we got there at 6am to get the truck...

    Does anyone have a wiring diagram M985 crane remote control assy.? If I can get a copy I am pretty sure I can make one. Granted, mine won't have a variable control, but a complete diagram is my first step.

    Time for new super singles. Need some wisdom.

    My personal preference is the Goodyears as they have a strong/better designed sidewall to them. Michelins have a very soft sidewall and when they sit flat for a short time damage the sidewalls, I have seen a lot of them, where the Goodyears air back up and show no problems. The 395 tire height...

    Axle interlock vs 8X8

    I think I am going to investigate putting in another switch to engage the dividers in 8X8 high range. That way you can truly engage all 4 axles in Hi. As I see this working you are either 2wd, or 4wd in high range and can only truly get 8X8 when in low range.

    Axle interlock vs 8X8

    I am thinking Axle interlock connects both axles in that set. Not like a diff lock. I could be wrong though.

    Axle interlock vs 8X8

    OK, now I am more confused. LOL I guess maybe this winter when I have a bunch of snow I could go out and see what wheels are powered in what modes.

    Axle interlock vs 8X8

    Ok, can't seem to find the answer in the operators manual. On the HEMTT(M985) the dash control for the drive system, what are the meaning and what axles drive in each setting. In center at "Off", "8X8" to the right is self explanatory, and "Inter Axle Diff. Lock." And what is the difference...
