My M998 is currently dead on the side of the road, 40 miles from home. This is the M998 that's been all over the country and never had a hiccup. I'm thinking the fuel filter is clogged. I don't know of a source of a replacement that I could get faster than late next week. (Any ideas?) I've...

Every 20 minute job is but one stripped bolt away from becoming a three day ordeal.

There's no need to change them out.

Anything 395 or smaller will fit.

Voltage regulator is my guess. Time to get out the fluke meter...

Various iterations of those boxes are readily available. They vary in input from 40 amps to 200 amps of 208v 3 phase. Output is usually 120v single phase and a pass through for the same 208v 3phase that goes in, so you can stick several of them together. Some of the larger ones only have...

Some have been found to be too tight. Some found with insufficient grease. I'd be tempted to back it off and inspect it for adequate grease.

Reverse in the MT654 is 10:1. Adding low range in the T case puts enough torque on it to split the case. I've seen it more than once. Absolutely don't do it unless you want to buy a t case.

Two separate issues. The first is that the 8.3 has a hard time starting from zero when loaded heavy. The second is the weak T Case. The weak t case is in all 939series trucks. It's just that the 8.3's weakness off the line is more likely to tempt you to use low range in reverse.

My opinion only, based on towing all kids of military trailers behind all kinds of civilian vehicles. The pintle riser flipped is still going to be far too low to get the trailer level. That's OK, because you're empty and tipping forward biases the weight to the tongue, where you want the...

What's your tow vehicle?

Climate makes a huge difference. I'd trade your climate with bare steel against KS or GA + any coating you'd care to use. I've experienced both.

Heavy and slow offroad, NH250 hands down.

I took mine apart and cut a slot in it so that I could flip it over to tow level behind a 5ton on 16's. This would have been about 2018 so I don't remember details but I'm thinking it was a proprietary one-off thing. You're going to need that exact part, or a trailer to tow it on. I'll...

I'd attempt a repair using the stuff they sell for windshields. I suspect that you can get acceptable results that way.

Mounts on top with the alternator bracket. Uses longer bolts, which I think I have with it. It uses a longer serpentine belt. I had one (not any more) and didn't think to get the part number off it.

Pics of it on the truck -

Nice truck!

I ended up putting the batteries in the bed on mine and just running a slave cable to the slave port. That lets me just plug in to start gensets and my wrecker. I took mine on a 200 mile round trip yesterday to pick up an M1101. Unrelated, just thought I'd share pics -
