yes i have the auto throttle. and when i engage the transfer case power take off control lever (beside the seat) the auto throttle will rev the engine up - it will hit ~2000 rpm then quickly settle to 1500 rmp or so. also when i disengage the transfer case power take off control lever...

Thanks for the info, question? when you say it needs to be in 5th, mine has the Allison automatic, so TM has it in 1-5 position. the HI-Lo shifter is in neutral, and i then engage the transfer case power take off control lever (beside the seat) which auto throttles the engine to about...

I have been chasing a hydraulic issue (M936A1) on the main crane system and have a general question on how the system operates that i can't figure from the TM's. Does the hydraulic pump run full flow through the crane control body and back to the tank when no action is given. then for example...

i have an m936A1 with auto throttle, and my truck when you engage the crane (handle by the seat next to the door) - the auto throttle will take the truck to 2000rpm or so and then quickly back down to ~1500rpm, and when disengages does the reverse - engine roars to 2000 rpm and then dies down to...

yes my 936 is an A1, i had figured all 936's had auto throttle - good to know, as usual, there are lots of variations. I like my auto throttle, as for my machine, i can't imagine wanting it to go slower which is what started this whole thread. i'm trying to figure out why (for no obvious...

thanks for the response, you confirmed what i see on my 936 gauge. when i engage the crane PTO, my engine auto throttles up to ~1500-1700 and the gov holds it as load varies. so by "top" gear - my shifter is in 1-5 position??? can't say i've heard it shift, just hear it throttle up to rpm...

936 guys a while back i install a pressure gauge to monitor pressure at the supply side (hi pressure) of the control valve body. after reviewing the TM's they showed a location to do exactly this - to monitor pressure - TM ( TM 9-2320-272-24-2 , section 3-389. PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE...

thanks for that info!!!! perfect.

Ahh my bad , should have said bake shoes, not pads, so yes its drums....LOL... thanks on the video, will check it out.

doing some front end maintenance on my M936A1 and noticed my front brake pads were worn more on the leading edge and trailing edge than in the middle. TM states pads are good till the bevel is gone. my bevel is near perfect in the middle of the pad but at least 30-40% gone on the ends. like...

SD I have a theoretical question on the use of sealants as you addressed above and hoping you might have some advice. why would use of gasket sealants on the radiator end tanks be any different than say on an oil pan? i'm about to open up my radiator to fix some leaks (hoping it just needs...

when i first started trying to figure out why mine might be running "slower" - many (as in this thread) indicted the filter might have hose debris in it. my filter was super clean, so i'd recommend not buying a new filter untill you pull and inspect your old one. as some other have said i...

I can take a pic, give me a day or two, i just guessed (wrong) and installed it in a plug on the top of the control valve body that i thought wasthe suply side (its still on the wrong side, haven't had the time to move it). i believe i just need to move it to another plug on the other end. the...

I agree, i hate my deck not being as clean and slip free as possible, my cable/hook drive motor weeps almost nothing (well for now), but my rotator motor is past weeping and is making a mess. not sure if it needs some true TLC or if a return line will catch the weepage and i'm good to go...

thanks for the input, if the "normal" weeping into the annular area is extremely small for healthy motor, wonder if a simple 1oz collection cup would work instead of plumbing a return from the various motors back to the tank and just be emptied checked every few months? or is "normal" weeping...
