    5 ton horn question

    How does the 5 ton horn button work? I can't see anywhere it's grounded. Is one side of the solenoid hot all the time? Odd circuitry.

    Another CTIS Issue

    Imagine that, an issue with the CTIS. I have attached a link to a video of my truck. The rear axle quick release valve does this, then stops, repeatedly and eventually all tires will deflate. No flashing codes. I looked at the TM, but it isn't very helpful. Also, the link to the Dana Diagnostic...

    M929 Questions

    What's the valve between the driver's door and seat near the rear of the cab for? I tried turning it, but it appears to be stuck. I haven't traced the lines out yet. Is it the valve that switches the fuel tanks perhaps? Also, does the dump bed latch close automatically when the bed is lowered...

    M929 Hydraulic Pump Very Noisy

    I need a little help troubleshooting the hydraulic system on my newly acquired dump truck. I have many years of experience operating machinery that uses hydraulic pumps, but have never wrenched on them much. The pump is cavitating, very noisy, and the bed is very jumpy when raising it. The...

    Generator bit me.

    I have two MEP803A's on a trailer with transfer switch. I do not have the generators grounded and was temporarily running a water pump. I switched to the #2 generator on the transfer switch to send power to the pump and when switching my thumb inadvertently made contact with the indicator bezel...

    Fan Clutch Question

    The fan on my truck engages automatically when first starting for about 15-20 seconds, then disengages. With the air system pressurized, engine off, key on, when engaging the clutch manually, the fan physically moves in towards the engine. However, when sending air manually with the engine...

    Why the ads?

    A Few Questions

    Seems my rear axles are very noisy, especially when decelerating. Is this normal? Also, what temperatures should the hubs run after driving a bit? Last, what engine oil pressure and coolant temp is normal once the vehicle is warmed up to operating temp? Thank you.
