I went with a 12V system

Looks good, I'll post up some pics once I get it painted. My Red Dot is the R-6100, I bought it used and the plsatic cover was britle, so I broke up a sheetmetal cover that is fashioned like the original plastic cover. The unit itself is @ 7.5" tall. the R-6100 is a through the roof unit, so...

I just installed a Red Dot rooftop unit on my 915. FYI.....AP AIR, INC - Home sells a bolt-on Sanden AC bracket for the 855 Cummins.

I posted a link here... http://www.steelsoldiers.com/5-ton-up/55254-m915a1-tm.html

I have a copy, I moved it onto the server........this link should work. www.streetbikedepot.com - /files/TM/ Save a copy for yourself, if a moderator wants to add it to the resources they are more than welcome to.

Per the TM, the driveshafts are to be removed for flat tows unless towing less than 1/2 mile at 10 MPH.

1100-1200 RPM is your clutch lockup, I'll have to look one more time but I think there is a sticker on the shifter that says you can take off in 6th up to 75,000 lbs. I have a friend that works for CAT he was able to look up the transmission in no time flat, had a parts breakdown and was...

I thought it was just my connection for the last week or so,but I kept noticing that it was only this site. Its killer SLOW......just took me 4.5 minutes to log in and get to this page!

Thats just like the one I seen! Anyone know if it was a short production run or what.

The cans had a cap on the top....I looked inside and it looked like gravel dust in there. The tanks where way out of place looking since they hung down in front of the tire like a mud flap of sorts.

Has anyone ever seen an M915 with airbag rear suspension fitted by the military? I seen one the other day, it looked factory but the entire frame under the truck looked more like a civilian truck (not quite as "military" looking" with air lift points, plate ramps etc.) it wasnt a retrofit...

I use a 1" drive impact and run it off the air on the truck........leave that lug wrench in the toolbox.

Why would you switch it out, those trannies are great, they have a deep low range and an overdrive. But it could be swapped out, I'd take your old one of your hands for ya!

There is a breather fitting on the MC cap, the bellow can be attached to that with a short piece of hose to get it out of the way.

Cool! I thought I'd throw this out there since the OK guys are watchng this thread........ .....Me and Jeff are thinking of going to the GA rally OCT, anyone else interested in going? There are enough 915's around to trailer all the stuff up and still run some decent speeds on the highway...

I hope you guys had working wipers, looks like it rained on ya. Post up pics.

If converting to DOT 3 an easy way to seal off the master cylinder vent from atmosphere and still allow for expansion is by using a vent bellow. (VB01) Vent Bellow Breather They are nice for trannies, transfers and axles also.

I use DOT 3 in my trucks as well. I've had a jar setting on my desk at work with equal parts of DOT3 and DOT5, that has been mixed together multiple times, been there in below freezing temps and there in 100 degree temps, no sludge, nothing wierd after nearly a year.....the only observable...

Yes, it can be done......I used the shackles as towbar feet.

If I had my trailer picked up I'd come out with a M915, but thats all I have now since I sold the firetruck.
