Wow! You are definitely welcome, given you have plenty of OD credentials! Enjoy the site and post up some pictures of your fleet! Rick

E-gads, I just thought of the liability being created in this conversation..... modifying brake traction control on a big truck...... something to consider if you join the road with the civvy world. Rick

I am familiar with automotive ABS, but not the system in the M939 series. Having said that, I propose you look into pairing together the rear axle sensor lines onto the remaining rear axle sensor. That would be the easiest solution! There are signal generators that can be purchased to replace...

Might be easy. If it were me I'd go back under the dash, wiggle and seat the plugs on the dash gauge connections. My guess is you have lost a sure ground path to the instrument panel. The current demands of the instrument illumination lights are now finding a secondary ground path through the...

Not saying this is your problem, but I have found more than one distorted (dished) flex plate that while it was properly secured to the crank, would not line up to the depth of the starter gear when the gear was spun out into operating mode. I have personally damaged a flex plate (bent it the...

Warthog, have you noticed if your method causes flickering lights on the towed rig? I have neglected adding a dedicated ground cable on lighter towed equipment and the dodgy ground contact on the chains, ball and/or pintle caused the lights on the towed trailer to flicker. If you say all is...

Well done! Thanks to all of you for your generosity. Rick

John, I appreciate your giving recognition to these individuals and am wondering if you have any intention of sharing with the rest of us a thread documenting your project. Rick

ccf460, Great job on those rims. I'm wondering if you wouldn't mind shooting a photo of the truck from the front and from rear down one side, so we can clearly see where how tires line up with the front fenders and bed. I'd like to do this mod myself because I have plenty of stock rims...

GL is pretty good about taking the money, so if it's been more than a week since you made the application, I'd get on the horn and check up to make sure they received your application. Rick

Awesome project! Congrats on the save and let's see it when it's all up and running. Rick

That was a rough time for me....... but no worries, I'm not addicted and can stop any time I want. Rick

Awesome work on the truck! It's an A1, so you did the singles yourselves? I am wondering why no one has mentioned the person celebrating in the forward gunners position in post #1, image #4??? Rick

The myth won't die because there is a time component to heat conduction. The longer the coolant is in contact with the hot metals of the head and block, the higher the water temperature will rise to approximate the metal temperature. Achieving a maximum rise in coolant temperature is key to...

It may be a myth, but if you consider the second heat transfer (dissipation) occurring at the radiator, you may find the concept is still valid. The heated coolant must have sufficient time in the air stream to shed heat into the atmosphere. Therefore velocity may cause a gradual heat...

It may be possible. If you calculate the volume of the 6.2 at max revs vs the 7.6 at it's slower max rev, you may find the C turbo to be a good fit. Are there maps available for the C turbo? What kind of boost are you looking for? Rick

That's standard practice down here in the jungle, but the drop in bolt is definitely over the top and the waste of a good bolt. If the original problem is that the steering arm mounting threads are pulled out of the knuckles, then smoothing off the bubba welds and repairing them with new thread...

Call George at White Owl. He recently mentioned to me he had some bad torque rods made slightly under spec and was being careful filling orders. Rick

Looks like tan vs OD has been decided in your motor pool! Congrats to you, Rick

Ha Ha! Those are great moments! (but I don't usually share mine!) Cheers, mate, Rick
