The 37" radial tires had the rubber run flat. The 36" bias ply 8 bolt split had the bolt together run flat. The run flats have to stay with the rim they were meant for. If not using run flats, then not a problem.
3/8" hex normal "lefty loosy, righty tighty" stuff. A breaker bar instead of a ratchet with a medium sized hammer to help it start moving it probably what you need. Grease up the slider pins when you put it back together.
Just a side note. The ones Wart Hog has are still boxed to military specs. I came home with 3 of them when I picked up the M1009 a few months ago. 7 foot long box, 4 feet high and about 1 foot thick. Any glass you buy from him will not get broken during shipping. Might not fit in the brown...
The 3 lever switch does a lot of things. I went through about 9 or 10 used ones until I found a unit that worked on every function when I was building the M715. I have had a pretty good run lately on the other trucks.
Here is the best wiring diagram I have ever seen about what pin does what...
Another messy check is this. Make the brakes lock up, lossen the brake line between the master and air pack. Pressurized fluid means it is the master. Just a drip and the problem is in the air pack.
Realistically, you are better off pulling both the air pack and the master. Take them...
Remove the intake to clean it out. Don't go spraying cleaner into the intake because if it burns, it will cause the engine to increase rpm and basically, run away on its own.
Put your hand on the relay and start the truck. You will hear and feel the click as the starter is activated. Since it can be heard, that is a great troubleshooting help if the starter ever fails to turn on. If you get the click and no starter, the problem isn't on the 12V side of the start...
I am trying to write this in the nicest way possible. The -20 manual has a huge trouble shooting section for electrical problems. It walks you through each of the problems mentioned in your post step by step. There is also a wiring diagram, fuse block map and basically everything you need to...
Check the connectors on the back of your black out light switches and then move onto the master head light switch if you have checked everything else.
One question, is it just the head lights flashing or all the lights?
Yes, I adjust the bottom to spec on both sides, put the cover back on, put on the tire and spin the tire while adjusting the top with a box end wrench. When I hear noise, I move to the other adjuster and repeat. Then I put the axle shaft or hub back on along with the outter tire if needed once...
I have done it by the numbers and had mixed results before. Now, I adjust the bottom excentric to the book number. Then, turn the drum while adjusting the top adjuster until I hear it rub. Then do the same on the other side. Very high pedal, no drag or heat going down the road.
A M101A2 or M101A3, basically any 8 lug M101 will be 12 volt lights already. Use a test light and check to make sure your trailer wiring isn't the problem instead of the bulbs.
Going slow and doing lock to lock turns makes any M35 rear suspension move around enough to be heard in a gasser or felt if you are trying to feel it in a whistler. Every truck I have ever driven does this. If you want to scare yourself, remove the bed and drive around a field while watching...
Pull your steering wheel, use the special tool to pull the lock plate. Try the blinker and move the wheel to make it self cancel. Do this in both directions and you should be able to see how it is supposed to work and why it isn't on one side. To remove, remove the flasher button, undo the...
Giving the plug on the back of the gauge cluster a tug/push/wiggle might clear the problem up as well. Those contacts are not exactly set in stone. They move, get dirty and just plain don't work sometimes. Check bulbs first though.
If you blinker light cycles slow when the lights are on, I...
