Friend of mine is a CAT mech. Do you want me to check with him which starters fit the C7? I'd need a year of the engine at least. Does this look right: https://www.heavytruckparts.net/item/Caterpillar/C7/Starter-Motor/8151399/1/13103

FWIW, It appears the closest CAT service place is 24800 Novi Rd. Novi, MI 48375 248 349-4800 I hope you get it sorted and back underway!

It is unfortunate, but also bear in mind that the "new" air packs may have spent extended periods of time in storage by now and may have started to corrode internally or have lubricant harden inside them. I know that recently another member had an issue with a new old stock air pack, similar to...

Did you get it fixed/plugged?

I would love to place an (advanced) order!

Jeepsinker...Tactical Repair....videos are also helpful because otherwise I would think the stupid things only happen to me. I like the honesty of the videos. Quick job, pulling an old Deuce from spot A to spot B in the yard. Sink the wrecker. Can't get out because front driveshaft came out for...

This post has some pics of a twin piston Midland taken apart : https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/air-pump-rebuild-questions.68764/page-2

Frame ground - check. Feels solid, tight. Relay, cable #10 - check. Not broken, not loose. Started as usual on first touch of button, ran fine, after about an hour the gauges flicked off again. I could keep them on by holding the accessory switch up with my thumb while driving. I am really...

They look good! Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

No, the extra weight is not a problem. The wheel hub and seal design is. When you replace the cork (some do, some do not and use RTV instead) coat the cork in RTV before putting it in place. Leave the side of that axle jacked up over night to let the RTV cure without any gear oil creeping along...

Will do and report back.

Heavy duty truck diesels today make (roughly) 100 ft.lbs of torque per liter displacement. That is why one sees so many 10 liter engines - to get the 1000 ft.lbs it takes to move a big rig through the mountains at a good clip. The LDS465 makes a paltry 440 ft.lbs out of 7.8 liters, so only about...

I am looking at this logically and thought I'd poll you for thoughts: - truck starts as soon as button is hit. Did not have issues in years. - uneventful 50 mile drive BUT I noticed that the power to the dash came off intermittently (gauges would go to 0). Switching accessory switch on and off...

In the service, interesting things did happen to individual trucks. As an example, a few members have/had Deuces with LDS engines straight from the military. That was not an "official" swap, suggested or approved anywhere in the TM series manuals! Someone, somewhere, wanted and got the fastest...

Your truck has a few upgrades that show that, at some time, someone cared. The grab handle on the front of the hood had to be unit installed, the push-button light switch and the electric wiper upgrade are not standard. This bodes well for getting her back to looking and running good! Your...

DB556, I can only imagine the frustration. At least you did not break the case as it was on the other Allison you had looked at earlier. If it's just the oil pan, it's not too bad of a Murphy tax to pay. Good luck! Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

Spot on! lol

Wow, I am feeling tired just reading this!

V8sarefun, I can tell you that I have driven my truck with the standard LDT-465 and it was not, by any stretch of the imagination, quick on a hill. Having said that, I did not have to tackle the hills (4-5%) in low range. 2nd gear high seems where it's at. While I have not driven an LD like...

You have an M35A3. These were fitted from the rebuild factory with the air-assisted steering that your truck has. It seems that the external parts, pressure regulator etc. can be had, but it is the internal pieces that appear to be tricky to source these days. A3 folks will be of much better...
