Here are two youtubes that will be helpful with regard to how to shift an M920 or M916. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNAwp1w347Y http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNeuxDhbL5A Key is to let off the fuel a bit when shifting. Start off in 6th gear with no load, you can shift two gears at a time...

Here is a source for Cat 7155 transmission operator and user manuals http://www.jensales.com/Caterpillar-Truck-Trans-7155-Equipment-Service-Manual-CT-S-7155-TRAN_p_83552.html http://www.jensales.com/Caterpillar-Truck-Transmission-7155-56K1-and-Up-Operator-Manual-CT-O-7155-TRAN_p_68518.html

Here is what I found for the correct oil to use in the Cat 7155 trans.

I did use a paint roller on the roof, hood, and the deck behind the cab. Turned out great. You can barely see the roll marks on the hood from inside the cab, so I will do some light rattle can spraying there, but overall, the paint roller worked very well. It also allows a thicker coat on the...

Ok thanks. I am not sure what is in the truck now, should I drain and refill the trans fluid or just top it off. thanks

What is the correct transmission fluid to use in an M920?

I followed everyone's advice when I started painting my M818. Got a small wire brush and used it on all the surfaces with flaking paint and rust.. Then I pressured washed the entire truck (soaping it down first before using clean water). Then I primed all the bare metal areas and where there was...

Rebel 87 you were right, the two valves work differently and I do have air at both glad hands. Appreciate everyone's assistance with this, now, non issue!

I believe I was doing everything correctly but will go through the entire sequence again to make sure there is not something I overlooked. Can't do this until Wednesday, and will let you know what I find out. I will try every possible combination. appreciate the input.

The emergency air works just fine, I moved the empty trailer about 40 miles with no issues, air pressure built up fine to release the trailer brakes, but was unable to use the service air, meaning, I could not activate the trailer brakes manually. The valves at the glad hands were set exactly...

I think the next step, assuming there is a blockage in the line, is to keep the air on for a couple of minutes, and if this does not work by blowing out whatever is clogging the line, I noticed there is at least one place on the airline between the cab and the hitch, what looks like a cap on the...

You are correct, the problem is with the service air and not the emergency........still waking up this morning....you pull the lever on the column and no air comes out of the left glad hand and with the valve opened

So I wont look for one.

I purchased a ten ton trailer to use with my M818. Hooked up both the service and emergency air to the trailer, the service air works just fine, but not getting any air pressure out of the emergency side. When you activate the emergency air on the steering column you hear a swoosh sound so...

thanks. I am going to have a ten ton tag-along trailer made that has 24 volt lighting (also 24 volt ABS brakes), as well as NATO style plug. Will use this to pull my halftrack.

What is the trailer voltage on an M920, 12V?
