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...

Recent trip roads flooded (40”) flood 2” rain a day (24 hrs x 5 days) 40” flood had 7 ton on vehicle

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...

Along the journey mountains are 7000 to just over 9800 , grades on most are 30%

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...

Agai Again thank you for taking the time to help, and showing (pic) this helps tremendously, I will let you know how it goes. Cheers mate

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)

To disengage the auto-lock on front axle when low range is selected. I will need low range to climb these mountains but not the 6X6 engagement.

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...
