Man, that sucks. I guess a ride over to Memphis to look at it before they shipped it might have been a good idea. For that kind of $, they should be sending a mechanic to fix all the problems. I don't care if they send the parts, you are not the one that should be putting them on. Good luck...

No problems.

I used Traveller Premium Universal Tractor Trans/Hydraulic Fluid from Tractor Supply. It has the Allison C-4 rating.

Re-read my post. The passenger side alternator doesn't have to work to operate the truck, you just have to have a good rear battery for starting. And you did say you had a spare alternator for the driver side. Maybe I missed something. Good luck in the future. Learning how to repair the truck...

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...

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.

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...

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.

I don't stop.

How do you use the hair dryer if the power is off?

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...

I'd try a different mechanic.

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.

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...

Welcome from Orlando. Good luck with the paperwork shuffle.

RainX the windshield.

Glad to see your town had a parade.

Maybe you mean "lbs" instead of "psi"?

You guys are way overthinking the problem. A couple of tall kitchen trash bags and this, is all you need.
