If memory serves I remember reading in Fred Crimson's "U.S. Military Wheeled Vehicles" that these were tested in 1973 as a replacment for the M123 series trucks,they were powered by a Mack ENDT 866 V8 joined with a Mack TRTXL transmission. I'll post pictures later if I can find my copy of the...

I wonder if they offer a diesel model?

Worked on the GMC again today,pulled the control valve off took it apart and checked everything again,bright and shiny,all plungers/valves/springs in their correct places. I pressure tested all the ports within the trans with clean air,everything worked as it should,bands,clutch packs...

Yep,completely disassembled and cleaned every moving part and ensured it had free movement within it's respective port.

Well,I am back to square one here, The replacment trans still will not shift up beyond 2nd gear,and requires it to be at just about governed speed to do so,this is after I have.... Cleaned the control valve,governer,trans pan,flushed the entire trans twice till the oil came out clean,then...

Digging up an old thread again.... I'm still working on this M211 trans,turns out the 3/4 clutch pack was toast in it. Today I finally finished installing a replacment trans(another 302M,donated from another truck) it tested well within suggested pressure limits,Now it shifts 1-3 with...

Just 1 person,Saturday lunch only for me

Any chance Jim has a 915A1 or 916/920 for sale at his place?

Well,didn't win any of the 920s in TX,could you inspect the 916 there for me Richard? Thanks,Brandon

Oddball hasn't been a really dependable ride as of late,I wouldn't trust driving it that far. The M54A1 needs a camshaft and tappets,and nothing else is roadworthy right now.

Well,seeing what fuel prices are doing,and given I sold the 915A1 recently,as of right now I probably will not be there, working on too many projects,not any spare cash and nothing to drive up there.

Slight change of plans for me,Looks as if I'll only be able to come down for a while on Sat,probably around lunchtime,and then have to leave sometime around 5 PM or so.
