    transmission oil cooler hose: torque for the jam nut on 90 degree fitting

    90 degree fitting at the trans going to the oil cooler? The trans side of the elbow has an o ring. You can probably replace with a generic. The newer style ones also have an o ring on the flare side. If its leaking there and your elbow dosnt have the o ring in a groove on the flare then you can...

    allison no workie

    If there is fluid in the trans and the pump is good you can tow with all 4 wheels on the ground. The pump is coupled to the transfer case drive.

    allison no workie

    In the trans pic. Maybe if all the black bolts are broken off it would cause the symptoms. Prob easier to pull the engine forward than the trans back.

    If the truck starts then the torque converter module is bolted up. I don’t think it’s a matter of broken bolts somewhere. Something inside the converter assembly itself is damaged.

    If you can start the truck then the trans is connected to the engine. Did you check the fluid level?

    1995 m1078 not getting any power after unhooking batteries and welding on frame?

    The polarity box has 4 connections. 12 and 24 volt in and 12 and 24 volt out. Measure the v-in and then v-out. Should only be around 1/3 of a volt drop across each

    alternator hookup

    There should be 2 wires going to the regulator. I wouldnt connect anything to the rear regulator terminal. It just needs 24v at the front regulator terminal to excite it. One of the small leads should have 24v (only when the engine is running). There should be a ground strap and an engine...

    Starter issue next

    Its not too bad with 2 people. Its just heavy. One person above it with a strap to lower it down to the person below works well. Lots of wires take pics mark the wires before removal.

    Twitchy instruments

    Depends on the year of the truck and what engine it has. I would start with battery terminals and the elbow bolts. Main ground at starter. Power wires coming into the cab. Alternator cabling. Make sure the alternator isnt going into protect for some reason or loosing excite power momentarily...

    Military Generator/HVAC Trailer Identification

    Its an applied hvac trailer. TMs are in the generator section. Whats not working on it? Did you replace the fuel filters. There is a catch screen in the lift pump and the pumps go bad also.

    steering specs in TM

    I got mine close with a tape measure and some string. I would like to find a place to do a real alignment but the tires dont fit on the semi truck alignment machine.

    steering specs in TM

    I asked some of the local reserve guys they said they do it with a tape measure. Front wheels even spacing back and front of the wheels.
