Can anyone tell me the diameter of the parking brake drum for the M37 with the New Process 420. I just picked up a 1960 Dodge D400 dump truck missing the parking brake drum and band. Since it uses the same New Procee 420 as the M37 I am trying to determine if the M37 parts will work. Thanks in...
86humv, Per your suggestion I checked the dash connector on the smart box. I have no power to socket A in any position , i.e. no voltage in the off, run , or start positions.
No it is the stock ignition switch. Wire 11A is hot with the batteries connected. 29A gets power when switched to run and 14A gets power when switched to start. Checked with a meter and verified by changing out switches.
I have a 1986 M998 that the starter solenoid burned out on. I replaced the solenoid and starter with a good used unit. When I hooked the batteries back up the starter engages and tries to start the engine. The problem is that wire ( 74A ) to the starter solenoid is hot all the time the...
must have been 100 times. I am not satisfied with how smooth it is yet, so I will continue to spray it with PB Blaster and move it every couple of days,
Tobash, Thanks for the good advise .
Don't you hate it when someone leaves you hanging and doesn't tell you the end of the story ?
Well after trying every thing else a second and third time ( heat , solvents, hammer and punch etc. ) I decided to give give Tobash's acid method a try. I removed the tailgate from the Hmmwv . Since...
I just picked up a 1987 M998 in good condition but needing some work. I am new to the M998 and need some advice on dealing with the problem of corrosion between the aluminum and steel parts. In particular the tailgate hinges are completely frozen. The tailgate , hinges , and frame are in...
Who were the contract civilians that maintained the M1 models that Bradyw625 refers to ? Where did they get the needed information to maintain the diesel motor in the M1 Model ? For example what are the valve clearances , torque values etc ? What are the recommended service intervals for oil...
I have not been able to locate any manual (s) for the M1030M1 motorcycle. Does anyone know any source for the manual ? Does any one even know the TM number/numbers ? I am certain there must have been one provided with the bikes especially since the diesel motor and controls are like nothing...
Does any one have a part # ( NAPA, Fel Pro Auto Zone etc. ) for the dodge 230 head gaasket without the hump? All I can find is the part # for the gasket with the hump and mine needs the one without it. The previous owner of my WC51 tried using the gasket with the hump in combination with JB weld...
Does any one know offhand the gauge of sheet metal used on the WW2 3/4 ton Dodge WC trucks ? Are the rear boxes and front fenders the same gauge ? Thanks for the info.
Idle is normal. I have not put a tach on it but would estimate 650 to 700 RPM. I can put the tranfer case in neutral and put the Transmission in any gear without stalling.
I recently purchased a Forest Service M 880 that had been sitting for some time. After straightening out some messed up wiring and a bad ignition switch it starts and runs well. Lights , brakes and steering are fine. The problem is when I put in drive or reverse it stalls unless I rev the...
