    Transfer case interlock

    Hmm my memory failed to serve me well. In any case, the lever still stays if you don't step on it.

    Transfer case interlock

    If you're talking about the transfer case interlock air solenoid, it can and does pressurize the transfer case when the seal stops sealing. I disconnected the air feed to mine and capped both the solenoid and the air line. The spring inside does a good enough job on its own to keep the lever...

    and if he doesn't have one now, he parts trucks periodically so may have one in the future.

    m939 air system check valve

    Or you could just keep the air drier serviced. If you're getting water in the tanks on a drier-equipped truck, it needs a new desiccant can at a minimum.

    How stuck have you gotten your Deuce PICS OR IT DIDNT HAPPEN

    Nope, or at least I don't. I am young enough, but I don't have time to deal with getting a stuck 5-ton out. Coincidentally, that's why I want to get a 5T w/w. If the 931 gets in a bad position, I don't have anything big enough to get it out for sure.

    Ctis

    The CTIS still functions even if you don't change the setting, as it regularly checks the tire pressures. 4 lights usually means one of your tires is low on air.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    fixed the injection pump's tendency to not shut the engine down. The limiting screw for the stop lever had worked its way forward preventing proper operation.

    Allison MT654 Tranny Parts Source?

    Yes and yes. Oh and Necrothread! :)

    6CTA fuel shutoff valve stuck open?

    So I think I figured this one out. There is a screw on the IP that limits the travel of the stop lever. I think it had worked its way forward, preventing the control rack from moving back enough to stop injection. I actually was able to find an overhaul manual for the MW pump as used on the...

    Prepping to buy a Deuce for farm use. Couple Questions..

    Depends on the size. I could fit four 4'x5' in the back, but it was tight.

    Truck Tractors are not QUITE Identical to Cargo Trucks

    I'm curious about this. Any more details?

    M923a2 bendix unit under hood leaking air

    If its attached to the firewall and looks like an aluminum cylinder, that's the air pressure governor. I can't remember what it means when it steadily leaks air from the exhaust port, but replacements are very inexpensive.

    Prepping to buy a Deuce for farm use. Couple Questions..

    I'm going to be the dissenting opinion here, but so be it. Something else to consider about the Deuce: if something on it breaks, more often than not you won't be able to get it at NAPA. Not a good thing to have happen when you need it running then and there. An 7.3 F250 with a 7-ton GN...

    Prepping to buy a Deuce for farm use. Couple Questions..

    The bed of a M35 is quite high. Someone here probably knows the bed-height off of the top of their head. IMHO, You'd be better off with a cheap 1/2-ton truck and a decent car trailer than the deuce for towing your 3-ton Kubota. What else are you intending to use the M35 for? Background: I...

    How NOT to reseat a tire on an M886

    I use a ratchet strap to expand the tire and meet the bead. Not a fan of using ether to do the job, but if you're in a pinch it does work.

    M931 Schematics

    P2P is your friend. I believe its posted in the TM section. That's assuming you don't need a paper schematic.

    Came here to suggest this. edit: Oops, necrothread!

    Thinking of changing tire size on my M923

    80psi is overkill if you're not loaded to capacity, but for trucks with functional CTIS like mine you don't get much of a choice. That said, my 931A2 rides fine at anything but 27-33 and 58+mph. It "porpoises" like crazy at 30mph, so I avoid that completely. At the end of the day these trucks...

    6CTA fuel shutoff valve stuck open?

    I did my best to check that but since it was dark outside I'm not 100% sure. Will have to check in daylight this weekend.
