    New 5-ton ... questions

    It would really help if you READ the -10 BEFORE you attempt to operate the truck, this could save you a LOT of money AND the loss of a finger. This post was OKed by a KGR, the NON-KGR was over ruled.

    M54 ?

    Something is wrong here, a 1975 m54 is right at the end if not well past the end of the 39 series (a m54 is part of the 39 series) my 73m819 is in the series AFTER the 39 series, if in fact it is a LATE model m54, it would be a m54a2 with a multifuel.

    Paint Tips for Cat D4

    Take these numbers to cat who can follow up and tell you a LOT about the unit, ANY part used CAN BE GOTTEN by cat, do not let a moron parts counter salesmen tell you different, I have had to get parts at times for some VERY old Cats, it is doable, just takes time.

    Transmission guru's, is this normal?

    I would say YES, since it is down near the bottom of the trans, looks like you just need a new cover gasket.

    It meant a lot to me having a good looking lady drive BART one of the biggest trucks the military has, I wanted the ladies, both young and older to see her driving, so they know they to can own and drive one, no matter what there husband says ("army trucks are a man thing"). A LOT of women like...

    Driveshaft/Axle issues?

    If the number 3 axle is bad, it could cause vibration ALL though the REARS/DRIVELINE, the seal issue could be caused by this, seals/bearing DO NOT get loose on there own, THERE IS A CAUSE, fixing things is only a TEMP fix TILL the cause is found.

    1 -- The shaft got HOT 2 -- The gouge is BEHIND the pulley, the shaft bends a bit there now the shaft can bend more and then BREAK. 3 -- The pulley will NEVER be true, this WILL cause vibration and the SHAFT WILL break. This is your truck. your money, you asked for advice, you got it, You have...

    NHC250 alternator pulley loose, throwing belts!

    First he DOES NOT have a a2, the key sheared which allowed the pulley to walk, wearing on the shaft and the pulley mounting hole, THIS just made things WORSE, you CAN NOT straighten things, the alt/pulley NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

    M35 vs M813???

    My 36,000 lb 819 can and has locked the brakes up and slid the truck, though ANY big truck on single circuit juice brakes IS not the best thing for blood pressure, ANOTHER thing to consider between a deuce and a 5t is that the 5t CAN use the little deuce as a wheel chock if needed, where's a...
