Glad you made it home also and nice truck man. The CTIS isnt the issue probably, leave the box turned off. 1st if the tires arent old and been sitting flat for months then the tire itself should be ok. 2nd ,Take the tires apart (what fun!) clean the rim really well, put a new O ring where the...

1st this is a old thread im posting in , im posting to help people look up the model # for the tranny. The correct Allison model # is MT 654CR from their web site for future searches. I did a search look up on here and the model #'s you guys put up didnt show on Allisons web site so I had to...

A mix of any of the makes of trucks would be normal.

Western Star , not Freightliners. Seems the Military has Frieghtliners, IH's , and Western Stars for the line haul series trucks.

We pulled out early today , Shell really didnt pay us any mind the entire time we were there. All about chrome , we figured that so heres the last few sets of pictures from today - Jay

Hey guys , anyone gonna be along I95 in NC tomorrow-Saturday? The Shell Rotella Super Rigs truck show is in Kenly , NC right on I95 at the TA Truckstop. superrigs_2011_video | Flickr - Photo Sharing! - Video on Flickr We have taken a few MV's but it would be great to have a few more or...

3 more videos of the convoys/rides we did.

I went with a couple friends to a massive church event in Wake Forest , NC. 3 or 4 churches get together and have a big event on a farm. They asked us for the 2nd year to come out and give rides in MV's to everyone there. We had a GPW M35A2C M35A2 and a M35A3 there for rides. We ran from 0930...

Of course veryone is talking about their own states. Call the Highway Patrol and ask in your state. I did and in NC everything no matter what over 10k lbs has to go through minus busses and RV's. Do I ever stop in any type of MV ? No , but thats my choice.

I know where ones at in NC if you dont find any around your area, jay

Ask Cat about the tranny in a M916 and see what they do also about their own parts. The Stewart-Warner ideas good. Keep your A3 around 52mph and you wont hurt it for now. ,Jay

Yeah , you would have a hard time selling a nice M109 box in my area. Drop sides way better to go. You know it is sad , I know guys on my dept. that cant drive the M715, Jay

Yeah Pete / pctrans in FL has the kits. Im looking into a set for myself now if I can get a guy to bring them up to me. Try searching SS for things like this, your statement about looking for cargo covers might seem to some as a Want To Buy ad, Jay

Derick , Welcome here. Nice to see your not too far away. I have had a couple A3's and my very first tach went out on the way home. I was told the A3's have a magnetic tach thats a Cat part. I think the threads on SS somewhere about mine. And I also heard its a Pricey part to fix unllike the...

For that model Allison per Allisons web site you can use 15W40 under normal conditions. Try flushing and refilling it with the Aliison synthetic (transynd I think) and tell me how bad your wallet hurts. Dexron is another good one that was said. Your year of mfg is on the axle tag from what I...

Being with a Fire Dept. id say the M109A3 , but im guessing you mean M109A4. The A3's are alot of work vs' the M35A2's and M190A3's for a Fire Dept to have a turn key truck ready at any time. Are you getting the truck from State Surplus or are you buiying it? If buying it why not buy a real...
