I have a question for my vehicle (M928A2) does anyone have knowledge or experience fitting Eng. brake on these engines? I know the gearing, and even with 12 ton loaded, 10,300 ft mountains with 37% grades it pushes the Eng rpms to the red line without the foot peddle brakes, with the braking...
Yes and no, meaning I have had the vehicle up on the racks trying to duplicate the noise. Running through all gears (H/L ratio) reverse, nothing on the racks no matter what speed. All fluids have been changed out (though mileage did not demand) . Road test nois would return, pinned it down to...
Does Anyone, have any experience in fitting fuel injectors (350 hp) in the 900 series (M928A2) mine) . I have spoken to a chap who recommended fitting 350 hour fuel injectors to help with power.
I have posted some questions/ comments etc. Am in Papua New Guinea, since my last few posts I have...
All these recommendations are great and I am not a person to down trod another’s answer, way, suggestion etc.... BUT I live in PNG and the roads here are mountainous up to 10,00 ft; it takes me on a good day without a load 16 hrs to do 200 miles, with a load, it can take me two days, it’s not...
G’day from PNG,
I have developed a mechanical issue, noise, that I have identified as some sort of gearing/ rotation (almost a grinding noise).
The following diagnostic work has been carried out (by myself with a workshop manager) all diffs checked for correct oil level and quality of oil-...
Thank you for your reply, I understand the hearing ratio and I understand numbers, I flew the AH-64 Longbow for some time with the 101st Airborne; I am in Papua New Guinea, and the dirt/ gravel roads I drive on are not secondary roads but the main road between point A to point B; After 16 hrs...
It has been some days since I was on here, I come with some questions for those more knowledgeable than I, recently I made a trip out on some very rugged roads, without a heavy load, tyres were deflated to 50 psi, this helped, but 202 miles took me 14 hrs. The roads are like driving down a river...
Thank you for the pics, it helps me also to read, hear and learn from ‘others’ experiences and success stories like all of us. No one chap has it all locked in. Thank you again! Cheers.
Do you traverse the rivers in low range or high? I have not been that deep yet here in PNG but in Africa, I took a M35A2 through a channel (Zambezi river channel) that was 3’ in low range empty)
Firstly, thank you indeed for your (advice and expertise) I take not lightly what you have said. I am not a cowboy, do my own mechanical repairs, am a professional welder (served in 101at Airborne) flew the AH64-Longbow so I am familiar with protocol. I also know a machine has to perform beyond...
Thank you indeed for your reply and advice , I have a couple mates in the US who can source these parts and will get them to me, I do mechanical work, (not a professional) but am able. The truck does great here, I expected a bit more high end horsepower but it’s not there, the gearing yes. How...
G’day from downunder,
I was on here a few months ago, I have recently popped out a rear- torque rod/arm from the rear-most axle, truck empty, however reversing in low gear on muddy mountains to make a turn, yes I know the manual and placard in-can say DO NOT reverse in low range, (reasons are...
I have a concern, forgive the many queries, you might think I have never driven one of these trucks or know nothing about mechanics, however the last vehicle M35A2 I could shift the transfer case from low to high or vice versa (within speed range), it was standard shift, the 928A2 I have...
Firstly, I would like to thank all of you who have given advice. I don’t take it lightly. I am 58 yrs old, spent time with the 101st, and been in Africa for 20 yrs. Here in PNG, roads are torture on a vehicle, broken springs, chassis etc. Are common. The mountains are not gradual, but direct...
