    Priming the C12

    I found that the Tech Manual had the best description of how to prime the fuel system. The only issue I see is that the arrow pointing to the bleed screw is pointing to the right side of the fuel mechanism but the bleed screw is really on the top. One the side of the bleed screw body it is...

    Tie Rod End replacement

    My source is in Europe so the shipping is more than the parts unless you order like 10+. The company is Polyboots.com and the part number is 28-48-31-1. They are very high quality. I made a video about it if you want to see what they look like.

    How to secure or lift the second axle when both wheels are removed

    Hi Dave, Not sure if this is helpful but the Tech Manual shows that axle has 12.8 in. (32.5 cm) of wheel travel. Also, the Tech manual says that the tire is NOT off the ground in limp home mode. " This procedure is not intended to lift the tire completely off the ground. This procedure is...

    Ether cylinder, part number

    I had the same question awhile ago and was unable to find the ether canister at any truck parts store including NAPA. I did reach out to KBI for clarification and I will let you know what they say. BTW, my canister has a KBI part number of 020020 which does not exist on their web site. And the...

    TM 10629A-OD TM Operation manual with component list MK-23,25,27,28

    I have one of the paper manuals from the Basic Issue Kit that have been selling lately. I was going to have the manual scanned to a PDF but the cost is more than I was planning on. I want to PDF to be searchable so it would be text and not JPGs of every page. So the manual is about 1,000 pages...

    Oshkosh MK23 family of trucks parts

    Hypecannon and Russ, No luck at all on the horn switch parts. I even went to the local Oshkosh cement mixer dealer and they had a horn part but it did not look correct for the MK23. So I do not have a cap on my truck. I was able to get the horn working and it passed inspection so I guess it...

    What have you done to your MTVR today?

    Just a note about this fix. It has been about a year and a half since I sprayed the rubber stuff on my cargo cover and now the rubber has turned hard and is flaking off. So this is not a long lasting fix but for a year it kept the rain out. This time I am trying the clear version of Flexseal to...

    RTV/Silicone

    I agree with Elijah95, every MTVR I have seen has had it and I have seen a lot of 7 Tons. I use a razor blade to careful scrape it off.

    Transmission Temperature Sending Unit - MTVR

    FYI, the ScanGauge I mention in another post shows the Tranny Temp. It would not help if the sensor is bad but it would help confirm that the ECU is not getting any data.

    MTVR turn signal relay?

    I checked the parts list and there is no relay for turn signal. In fact, there are just 4 entries for turn signal and they are all about the switch, handle, light, and cover. Sorry I could not help.

    ScanGauge SGDFFP J1939 & J1708 Vehicle Monitor

    I was looking around on Amazon for stuff and this popped up. I did not know what it was but after reading the description, I thought that would be cool if it worked for my 7 Ton. So I ordered one and hooked it up. IT WORKS!!!!!!!! So now I can see my oil pressure, MPG average, instantaneous...
