I did some measuring and some estimating and ended up buying 150', which is 50' too much. In case anybody else is wondering, I'd say 100' is just right.

Sensational. Thank you.

Where I'm from the only way to get parts is by mail, which is often a slow process. In the mean, I welded and ground the square shaft on the cable and shot some lithium grease inside the tack (and inside the cable lining). It works great now.

I had seen mention of it there but didn't dig in deep enough until now. Good information. I wish I would have gotten the field chocks with my purchase but they unfortunately were missing.

Do you recall what TM specifically?

Does anybody know what this thing is and/or what it is for? p.s. might not be able to tell in the picture but it's big and it's heavy.

I absolutely love this forum. I get rock solid advice/information for every single question I ask.

Slight change of subject here. I'm kind of jumping around to various "issues" and things are going fairly well. Does anyone know how the tach works? I'm familiar with tachs on gas engines but not diesel. Mine "appears" to be working but it bounces way too much and I really don't think it's...

I got a new 3-lever light switch and was able to get all the lights working.

The transmission will not go into 4th or 5th gear regardless of any factors. The air noise seems to be coming from the firewall.

Everything is going well so far. The new light switch arrived and that got me back on track with that. The two major things to square up next are 1.) The transmission won't go into 4th or 5th gear. I think I might take that to someone to get it fixed. 2.) The air system. I am NOT looking forward...

I've searched the TM's until my eyes hurt but could not find FM 21-305.

Thank you. I have ordered a new 3-lever light switch. Hopefully that will help put it all together. Other than the driver's side rear lights, which have obviously broken and separated wires, I might even get lucky with the other stuff working. I guess I'll find out when the switch arrives. Happy...

That was a small treasure chest full of useful information. Thank you very much, sincerely. I have attached a picture of one of the taillights on my M816. The big half-round lens on the top - is that multi-function (running/taillights, brakes & blinkers)? I would think that the smaller lights on...
