Ive been calling every Monday checking on my SF-97. (Needed it to finish a loan process that started on June 4th) Yesterday I spoke with a lady at GovPlanet. Explained my situation to her and she put me on hold while she tracked down my SF-97. She found it in thier titling department in...

SF-97 time frame Bought a M1078 on June 4th (or paid for my winning bid). It's now July 25th and I still haven't recieved my SF-97. Govplanet never gave me any paperwork to fill out, just marked the box and paid for the SF-97. I have called them asking about my form and they said its in thier...

Seems there is a gasket that belongs between this cover and bell housing. The presence of a gasket makes me wonder. read top of this page.

Still haven't gotten my SF97 so I haven't been driving my truck. So today I crawled under the truck to grease everything and change my transmission filters and fluid. Thats when I noticed what looks like an inspection plate hanging by one of four bolts. The plate has one hole in the center...

I would go with an electric over hydraulic pump, like what's used on the Fisher series plows. The second ArrowHead link that Bikeman posted has 3 pdf's at the bottom. One outlines all the pieces used (size and material) to build the Fisher minute mount attachment. They also have pictures of the...

Nice truck, congratulations on a safe recovery..

A bill of sale would have worked fine if I had bought a 94, but I bought a 95. Maine has the 20yr title requirement. For my push bumper I plan to use a length of 6 inch thick walled pipe. Slid over that (but notched for the 2 attachment points) will be a 7 inch thick walled pipe. The 7 inch...

Also always change the tranny fluid after purchase. The military doesn't always use the preferred fluid in these transmissions. Allison calls for Dex 3 for on road or C-4 for off road purpose (still a Dex 3 fluid). The military often uses 15-40 motor oil, which Allison does give temperature...

Wicked nice..!! We live in the country where you might not think it would matter, but moose do serious damage. Their dark and hard to see even with optimal lighting. Being a cab over I'd hate to hit one dead center without having a major, fold down, cattle bumper in place. I'm still waiting for...

Thanks for all the help. Its very hard to tell by looking at pictures just how large or sturdy some of these trailers actually are. I will look into the M989 and keep my eyes open for a eager beaver. I have some work I need to do on my other house and property, which is about 12 miles from...

That I have to say is a lot more then I would have thought the MK 14 would wiegh

I apologize for thinking this duece and a half has more towing compasity then an F350.

I have read that. I've also read that the M1078 can flat tow another M1078 which weights more than 12,000 lbs. Just a week ago I personally witnessed 6 M1078's pulling trailers with bulldozers on them that are larger then my excavator. The convoy must have been coming down from the missile...

I'm looking for a trailer to haul my excavator behind my M1078. My excavator is 15,000 lbs. The 3 trailers I've looked at are. M1061a1 with a 15,850 lb GVWR. I don't believe this trailer would be heavy enough for my excavator, or I'd be pushing its limit. XM1073 with a 21,620 lb GVWR. This...

My fluid looks like oil. Here is what I've found: Now it kinda makes sense why it shifts harder when the transmission isn't warmed up. Source: Allison MD series transmission pdf. http://www.utxchange.com/pdfs/MechanicsTips/MT2923EN.pdf

Also good to know. I will find the Allison Dex 3

Thanks for the help. I hope I didn't hijack your thread. I have a set of transmission filters on the way. I just need to source Allison Dex 3 or equvilent in 5 gallon jugs somewhere close to home.

Yeah I've tried the diagnostic codes. d1 "- -" , d2 "- -" , d3 "- -" , d4 "- -" , d5 "- -" I went out, started the truck (in neutral), pushed the up and down arrow at the same time, then flipped threw the mode button to each code position. It says codes become historic codes after engine shut...

I will check that. Thanks

No fault light on the dash. My CTIS works. A friend of mine works for Thorndike's and maintains thier fleet of log trucks, equipment and rock trucks. He told me he has access to thier laptop with all the diagnostic and programming for Cat engines and Allison transmissions. He is who I plan to...
