Yes, sir. I’ve read the operator’s manual cover to cover, although it has been several years. Re-reading it certainly won’t hurt!

@Floridianson, what is the hydro lock check?

Howdy from just north of Houston. It’s always nice to have another MV enthusiast in the neighborhood (so to speak). And speaking of cold weather, this was the view from my front door Monday morning >>> We typically have a rally in College Station, Texas every March. Last year was canceled...

“Listen” That’s great advice!

Less leg room than a Deuce? Do you have any pictures from inside the cab?

Clint, I read your install thread on that. I like how it came out!

Welcome to the site. Congrats on the acquisition!

Dumb question: What does a rail pressure gauge measure? What is rail pressure?

@simp5782, thank you, sir! That is so simple even a m715mike can do it! ha ha

Wes, where do you get the parker pushlok fittings and hose? Can you buy that at a local parts store, or do you get it online?

I know this is an old thread... I've read a few of them. It seems that low oil pressure is common on the 8.3L. I have the opposite problem. I fired-up the M936A2 yesterday. It idled for a few minutes with the gauge showing 60 psi of oil pressure at cold idle. After a few minutes of idling...

@Junkyard Wars Crusher, congratulations Sir on a well deserved win!

What is the benefit of having a four post lift like that? Is it simply to prevent you from crawling on the ground or getting on a creeper? I’m not trying to be a smart a$$... I’ve never had the opportunity to use a lift and don’t know what the benefit is. It seems that everything I’ve needed...

Not a two post lift, but Northern Tool used a bobber in their advertisement for a four post lift. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/mv-spotted-thread.62008/post-1848686

I have never sat in a spring seat, only box seats. I’m 6’1” and have no trouble fitting comfortably (read plenty of leg room) on the box seat. Now, pain in my lower back after a long drive is a different story.

@anjay22, welcome back to SS. I hope you and your family are doing well! I bet your kids have grown quite a bit. Don’t think I’ll be much help locating an engine, but remind me, is it going in a M35A2?

IN

I finally got some quality time in with the M936A2 this weekend. I finished installing the alternator that I got from @74M35A2, replaced the serpentine belt with NAPA Part #25-080680 and installed two new 6TL batteries (NAPA Part #BAT 7265). Out with the old and in with the new>>>>...

If I may interject here.... Wes, the time and effort you put into helping people on this forum (myself included) is outstanding! Your efforts do not go unnoticed and are greatly appreciated. Thank you, Sir! Ok, back to break troubleshooting..... I’m looking forward to seeing how this...

Unless @papabear objects, I nominate my 400 gallon fuel cart this month.
