I think that when the throttle is set and the the lever engaged, the RPM drops to around 16-1800 and will hold there regardless of load. That is if the governor is set and not been messed with. I think the one on this truck has been messed with by our NG friends though. The seal wire has been...

Back when I was having issues making hydraulic pressure, I had asked about what I now know it the governor for the crane operation. @msgjd has helped me out in multiple ways, hyd line fittings, pictures of linkages, etc. When I asked about the linkage connected to the governor, he stated that he...

A bit more forward progress yesterday. I had "repaired" the passenger side clutch cross shaft where the de-clutching linkage attaches a while ago, but after installing the keyed arm, I was concerned that the arm would hit the bellhousing when the clutch was depressed in the cab. Well, it...

More. And, I forgot to take a pic of the seal. Sorry.

So, today was another productive day. Didn't start that way, but was a win at the end! The boom indeed leaks down. First order of business after trying to repair an ultrasonic cleaner, was raising the boom and installing a new seal under the electrical slip. We got a seal late last Wednesday...

Testing. What a PITA!

Yeah, I know how to do it through the registry, but I don't like to mess around in there. Things could get FUBAR if the incorrect change was made.

Microsoft has started to do things in their updates that change a jpeg to a jfif. There is a way to change it in the files and there is a program that does the fix for yoy. I don't like messing around in the files, so I just let the program do it. This has happened for the last 3 updates. I...

Another update on the M62. With the heat, we took a break for a few weeks. Went back last week and fired it, went to use the crane and nothing worked. No legible data plates on the pig, so every time it is go to the -10 and look up how to operate it. Well after an hour of $@&*"n around, reading...

Would anybody be interested in this manual being put in the 5-ton section? I have a hard copy in front of me that is bound with staples. I can take the Staples out and scan it to PDF. Let me know and I can make it happen.

There is a detent in the t case that holds the shifter in the position selected. If the spring broke it will flop around and try to come out of the selected range. Since high range is lever up, the lever will try and move down. Gravity.

You could pull the doghouse/floor out of it and test drive it. You might be able to pinpoint things a bit better. Is it speed related, like only happens above a certain speed? If not, low range and short shifting could make your noise easier to find due to lower speed, less road and truck noise.

Well, went in yesterday so I could make some things as to make today a "not waste of time". Good thing I did. Had some issues with the screen filter I installed a bit ago. Seems the way I secured things was a no go. Had to come up with another mounting set up that required re thinking things as...

Pine needles!👍

WMO will clog filters fast. And I forgot about the deuce having an in tank pump, so, yeah, low pressure gauge pre and post primary. One can be installed at the tank fitting, IIRC, there is a 1/8NPT plug there, and after the primary. Sometimes WMO, WTF, etc can be too much. You can try thinning...

Yeah, that filter can be a PITA! @jatonka has spin on conversions for that filter and the pressure side too. Also has spin on oil filter kits. I did all but the primary on mine, wish I would have done it. I don't remember if it was available back then though!

That is what I replaced my lines with. Had a mess of the line and fittings, but that went with the truck.

There might be an issue with these two filters. 2 and 5 micron are VERY fine. A micron is 1/1000 of a MM. Normally, a primary filter is 15-25 micron and sometimes there is a secondary that is a 5 - 7 micron. Cummins deemed that a 10 micron filter, FS1000, was sufficient enough to clean the fuel...

Dats da plan! Oil is there.

I have a Dr apt on Tuesday, so my plan was Wed. I need to communicate that tidbit to Craig.
