I'm in

Hi there, I am having a heck of a time trying to track down any parts lists or exploded views of the transfer case Dana 26TC (BofM: 300757) Used in the M656 Hopeful someone here may be able to help. I have the other technical manual, but it does NOT have a parts list or exploded view. Thank...

Thanks for the info. (y)(y) Re towing: AS mentioned the tow vehicle is definitely heavier. We're good there. Re air brakes: Yes, the unit as air brakes, not sure about option to connect externally. Re t-case on ebay: I have already been in touch with the fellow. Likely going to snag one...

Hi all! Hoping someone can validate something for me. Am I correct in that there are no issues flat towing the m656??? Or.... if not... what needs to be done to properly tow the rig? Side note... it is being safely flat towed by a semi tow truck, so no issues there. ;)

Oh for sure. It is a well running rig. Here are a couple links to some youtube videos of this exact machine being run by the previous owner, after it was used in the movie as mentioned. It is(was) a fantastic running rig as you can see. I have had it in storage for the last 4 years...

Yes, the data plate does say m656. The bed had been switched out before me. In fact, I believe it was the movie set company that had put it on. This rig was in the movie 2012 for it's 5 second cameo. True story.

Here it is.

Here is a shot of the tag. Hard to read, didn't have any sandpaper to scuff the crap off.

Had a chance to really look at it today. Looks like the input shaft broke or let go somehow. I know the bearing is toast, but the way the input yoke is moving, something is very wrong. The t-case I have is exactly like the one for sale on ebay right now... Item: 792387453 Military M656 8x8...

Looking for some insight to a t-case issue on my m656. Anyone here have any knowledge experience with the beast? Is this t-case used on other rigs as well? Issue: Free rotation of input shaft. I am thinking I may have an air issue as my t-case does not seem to be engaging for for drive, at...

Found it! Thank you for the insight. (y)(y)

Hoping someone can help. I have been having a heck of a time trying to find weights for the variants of the m656. Does anyone have any info on weights etc.? Comprehensive specs would be great. Thanks so much. Cheers!

Well alright then... that's some great feedback. Thank you. And due to availability of donors, one has a much broader selection of units to choose from... which are already outfitted short of being mounted on the vehicle properly. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

I saw that. Looks good. I'm realizing that the S280 is definitely the way to go. However... i am in the great white north... more specifically... British Columbia Canada. So my best option is to 'try' and source one up here. Realizing though that it will be difficult. Sent from my SM-G930W8...

Hey gunsgreg... interesting that you mention the S280 shelter, I looked it up and that is very much like the GSQ-80B message center I referred to above. Curious where you got your S280 from and how much? (If you don't mind me asking, can always PM if you like). Completely agree with the...
