    Alternator Questions

    You only need the drivers side alternator to operate the vehicle short term. The passenger alternator charges the rear battery which is only used for starting. No big deal if it doesn't work. I ran mine for weeks like that. Just put a battery charger on it every few days. Save yourself some...

    Alternator Questions

    I don't sell the kits anymore. Now I just offer advice and have a couple of threads to help people figure things out for themselves.

    Alternator Questions

    There are several alternator rebuild threads with pictures. One of them is linked in my signature below. IF you buy a new alternator, DO NOT give them the old original isolated ground alternator as a core, pay the core charge. The original isolated ground alternator is different and not made...

    D.O.T Weight scales.

    As stated above, take a copy of the statute(s) with you. I don't expect the officer to know every law on the books. They all have a computer in their vehicle and they can look up the statute number themselves. In my experience, they say "I didn't know that" and "have a nice day".

    Yes, I've passed weigh stations in FL, GA , AL, MS, LA, SC and would have in NC but was not on an interstate.

    Using a 5 ton as a towing vehicle?

    Plus think about your GVWR. With the wrecker you are already almost half way to 80K. It depends on what you ultimately want to tow. Considering all military vehicles are under powered and heavy and speaking from personal experience, if I want to go to a rally or show once a year and can only go...

    5 Ton CDL?? (Indiana)

    Don't know if FL has a restricted CDL. My M915 is the first tractor with an automatic transmission that I have driven. Everything else has been a Eaton/Fuller of one kind or another. The automatic is much nicer in stop and go traffic though.

    1983 M-923 Brake stuck

    There is a dust cover on the backing plate that covers the shoes. Remove this and you can see the shoes from the back. You may find the wedge actuator is stuck. I had one stick on my M929. That will mean pulling that hub/brake drum to get to the brake parts. It's not hard to do and it's all in...

    M939A2 series Oil in Rear Hubs

    When I pulled the hubs on my M929 there was oil in the hubs also. It had a regular oil seal on the inter hub and did not leak. A member told me that the axles were originally designed as a wet hub. He told me to leave the outer grease seal out, but since it is also the washer for the hub nuts, I...
