Your a handsome young man Garrett. I originally thought you would be older like me. Well not that old but like in your late fifties.

Having worked on off-road Allison transmission's I can tell you they have large Helical gears in there just like manual transmissions do which need extra "shear stability" . Your over the road transmission doesn't have large gears in them. They use Planetary gearsets only. Also that oil must...

Glad to help. Remember that fuel tank hose gets a lot of people. They don't last forever. In fact I remember reading somewhere that the military recommended they get changed every two years. I last replaced mine 5 years ago, so I better heed my own words and replace it again. This new diesel is...

Well out here in the Pacific Northwest we use Hydro and Nuclear power. Hydro only costs to build and maintain the plant. The Grand Coulee dam is still pumping out watts every second of every day.

That explains a lot ! I always "assumed" my light connections where bad ! My civilian trucks work fine but my CUCV never worked.

Great video Garrett !!! Timely information going into winter now.

Most TM manuals can be sold on eBay for about $10.00 to $40.00 depending on condition and rarity. The most expensive go for around $75.00 and are usually engine manuals. Yours are "Operator" manuals so expect to get around $10.00 to $20.00 for them.

Actually there's not that many opinions here. There's just a few that feel the military can do no wrong so why change it. Most believe the "manufacture" has the best advice for their product. After all "they" designed it and built it. I worked at a "Detroit Diesel Allison" shop in the...

I told my son the other day; "I won't see it in my lifetime but you will see it. The time when all vehicles on the road will be electric powered . Then you can tell your grandchildren you remember a time when "fossil fuel" was the only way to power vehicles" .

The M35A3 uses the Allison AT1545 series transmission. It came with a "lock-up" torque converter. The standard AT540 series never had a lock-up torque converter. As far as the differences between the 2.5 ton and 5 ton trucks transmissions goes. The 2.5 ton (M35A3 Deuce) used the AT1545...

Yes. Ultimately we all will have to go to the Cummins once the old Multifuels are gone. That or the IHC DT466 (the old non-electronic style ) .

The Allison was never made from the manufacture to run on engine oil. That was a "military" decision. A good Dexron III or better oil is so far superior to engine oil that it is not funny ! A transmission oil must be a "lubricating oil" and a "hydraulic oil" at the same time. Engine oil is just...

He really cut the crap out of that firewall didn't he ! I bet driving that thing as it is can make you deaf in a hundred feet ! Still, interesting idea.

The Deuce was just marking it's territory ! Now that you cleaned it up it will have to remark it's spot ! :D

Even though the picture of you is pretty hazy, I can still see that grin on your face ! Welcome to the "Green Madness" !!! Sorry, it only gets worse over time :shock: .

Oil changes on an automatic transmission help the gunk that gets trapped in the valve body to come out. Since the oil level usually comes to the bottom of the valve body, the gunk doesn't have gravity to help it drain away. Once the oil level drops, it drags out the oil in the valve body and...

Being able to read both pressures at a glance is a great troubleshooting tool. If the "regulated" pressure starts to drop I can just glance over and see what the main "pump" pressure is and determine if I have a major problem or just an annoyance issue. That is also why I have the main fuel...

When a tire is below the rated pressure the sidewalls flex a lot. This causes heat build up which in turn wears the tire out even faster. Always run the tires at the high end for max life, and lower for ride/comfort. Or when "off-roading" you can under-inflate them for better "grip" . Though...

Totally agree. Even in a flat rate shop this would not be allowed. Now if your just replacing crank bearings that can be done "in-frame" . Though you still need to check the shaft.

QUOTE=rustystud;2237729]No problem. After church tomorrow I'll get to it. OK here's the pictures of my oil pressure lines. The first picture shows the PTFE hose connected to the port on the filter housing. This is straight pump pressure. The second picture shows the line going to a...
