. Nice write-up @peakbagger ! Good information...

. Looking mighty good. Especially those retaining pins. Bolt work and wood work is sharp!

. She is looking awful good! Nice looking Model A back in the "corner shed" too.

. Looks like First Class co-pilot approval for sure!

. Me personally, about a quarter or a half turn back. You need room for expansion as the bearings heat up. Back it off, then spin the drum. It should rotate freely but if you grab the left and right of the drum and try to wiggle the drum left and right. There should be no "slop".

. Hi Justin and Welcome to the Outfit! Picture Us! Let's start a thread with some fire truck pictures. Does she have a name?

What about this . . . Joe Smith started the day early having set his alarm clock (MADE IN JAPAN) for 6 a.m. While his coffeepot (MADE IN CHINA) was perking, he shaved with his electric razor (MADE IN HONG KONG). He put on a dress shirt (MADE IN SRI LANKA), designer jeans (MADE IN SINGAPORE)...

. Time spent making sure that the cover isn't "dimpled" where the fasteners go through is important. You could use a straight edge, but it should be obvious if the last work under the covers had a gasket. Rubber gaskets cause that problem more than Cork. Either way, a flat sealing surface will...

. There is a CTIS troubleshooting thread (link below). There is a DANA / Spicer troubleshooting guide here in the TM section too. Another idea is to replace the controller that you bought with a more "manual" version of that part...

. Hi @Dasgog . Welcome to the Outfit! Okay, so I have turned wrenches in days gone by so I may have a little head start on you. I still turn my own wrenches today on my Green Machines. The TM's (Technical Manuals) that are posted here on the site were written for the 18, 19, 20 year old...

. Yeah, I was impressed with the numbers - where the holes in the locking nut measure out to .003 I have always run the inside nut down tight. Almost too tight to tun the wheel. Wiggling, pushing and turning the hub with the ultimate goal of seating the seal and/or making sure that the...

. Glad we could help - and if something else comes up - let us know and we will jump in and see if we can come up with a plan!

. Sad but True...

. TM 5-4520-256-14 HEATER, DUCT TYPE Public Release - Supposedly H82 Hopefully - Maybe this will help?

. Maybe we just don't quite understand over on this side of the pond. I'm not sure how using the factory pintle is "less good" or safer. Seems to me that lining the pockets of a bureaucrat is what is happening there. .

. The first place to look is at the speedometer cable. In a perfect world, it would be easy to reach in behind the dash, disconnect the cable, spray if full of penetrating oil and smile because you fixed it. It's a PITA to get to the cable. Grease (white lithium) is better than penetrating...

. My SWAG is that you might have a bad injector. You could remove the valve cover and look carefully at the moving parts since there might be something bent or broken. If you remove the exhaust manifold - you should be able to easily SEE the soot and determine which injector could be having...

. Heck of a nice build idea. Tightly affixed to the vehicle. One extra mounting point. Out of the way for loading. Variable outrigger for leveling. All of that is great if the operator is smart enough to never let go of the boat winch handle on the way down. That mistake makes a...

. Welcome to the Outfit! Nice truck too!

. Guessing that you have already found the PDF versions of the manuals? https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/tms-for-the-m39-series-5-ton.77614/ Finding real paper copies is a little more difficult. A good source is a trip through a local gun show. There are generally several guys that...
