    M915a1 transmission problems

    One of my m915a1 trucks just stopped driving a few years back and I’m finally getting around to fixing it. Got the transmission pulled tonight and found that whoever last worked on the truck ( I bought it on gov liquidation Topeka years ago) only installed the flex plate with the ring gear and...

    M1088a1 problems

    I am having some issues with my m1088a1 with cat 3126. Several years ago the engine quit while I was driving it and it sat a couple years before I had a local mechanic look at it. He ended up putting a new computer and high pressure fuel pump in it. I am capable of working on stuff but modern...

    Alternate Alternator Selection

    I really appreciate the info in this thread. I picked up this 24v alternator https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BFT4416K?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title Used one of the 100 amp bussmann equalizers P/N 21100E00 And dumped the dual voltage junk on my 2004 m1088a1 I just drilled out the top...

    Cross Country in an M820

    If you are going to be driving at night I would highly recommend some LED headlights. Watertight storage options for some things in the cab, if it rains hard you will get wet. A nice bluetooth headset like these http://www.lg.com/us/bluetooth-headsets-headphones/lg-HBS-820-Black-tone-ultra...

    M915 opinions wanted

    Ive driven put a lot of miles on both the cat and allison. The allison is much easier to drive, kind of like a big suburban, the cat requires constant shifting(if you are hauling corn/soybeans). Tough to drink a cup of coffee in the cat unless you are tooling down a flat stretch. The cat is...

    M920 going strong

    I took out the spacer under the fifth wheel but the taller tires make it about the same height. At 5'8" I can tilt my head and walk under the trailer at the back of the truck

    M1088A1 on the farm

    I'm really liking my M1088A1. It's getting a good workout during harvest. It handles great off road. So far it's only been running a mile or two so I haven't had a chance to see if my scoop on the front will help the engine fan stay off for a longer period of time. I will know later this week.

    MPG loaded, m915 vs M916 vs M920 ?

    I have 4 915a1 trucks and 1 915. The 915 has been sitting for a few years because I was tired of the hassle shifting it. It needed air pressure over 100psi to shift reliably which was tough if you like to use the brakes. I robbed the drivers seat and headlight switch, the parts that roll up...
