    Lindsey97 & 98G: THANK YOU!!

    Distracted Driving

    As a full-time driving instructor, this is EXCELLENT!! Full ABS brake engagement will take a longer distance to come to a stop than threshold braking; a popular myth is that ABS engagement will stop you on a dime, that is NOT true! Always know where your escape route is; typically your open...

    8.3 CTA Cummins won't start

    And replace ALL flexible fuel lines! Possibly also the hand primer if problem persists...any bit of air in fuel system will cause fuel to drain back and IP will air-lock. ETA: Also check the fuel return lines that are inside the tank...mine were rubber and so swollen that they caused...

    Brakes and breaks. A tale of a trip cut short.

    Most likely the master cylinder relief hole (the pinhole at bottom of reservoir) was plugged, keeping hydraulic pressure on brake lines. BTDT. Rebuilt master cylinder, used a torch tip cleaning tool set to clean out this small relief hole after honing & cleaning, haven't had this problem since.

    Repaint M1070 HET

    I hate to say it, but you'll probably need to sand down the entire body area and clean it thoroughly before repainting. Something causing the fisheyes has settled into the low spots (valleys) of the CARC...you've undoubtedly noticed how rough the CARC application is, it is obvious in your...

    Repaint M1070 HET

    There's something in the original surface causing that fisheye, it wasn't cleaned thoroughly enough in that spot. Considering the amount of grease & silicone-based products used on these trucks, and how these products love to jump onto someone's hands and then get smeared all over the truck...

    NHC 250 Turbo Conversion in M923

    Most of these trucks won't ever see 100K miles in their lifetimes either; very few are run hard as yours are, Bandit02. It is fascinating to hear of your M931's use, I know there are others out there who run their 5-tons hard, but most of us don't. And from the experience of swapping engines...

    Axle seal question

    I found it in TM 9-2320-272-24-3, page 4-576. 300-400 lb-ft.

    Axle seal question

    To complement ray's post above: I recently changed all 4 pinion seals on both rear axles & the front & rear seals on the transfer case on my M931A2...the seals are all the same part number. The axle pinion nuts require a 2-1/4" (2.25") socket once you remove the cotter pin, and I was able to...
