    5 Ton lockers

    Torque does not hold the locker together it is two big springs on both sides. Power turn or coasting turn the locker will unlock. I have one for a 916/ 920 I will get some pics as it is apart in my shop. You can see how the ramps on both side ratchet if one axle is allowed to spin faster than...

    What did you do to your M37 today?

    5 Ton lockers

    Pretty sure a Detroit locker is always locked. Under power, coasting straight or even sitting in your driveway while your asleep. Only lets loose when the conditions on one axle is allowed to spin faster then the other.

    Passenger seat hold down.

    Thanks Dave. Yea my corners of the seat base do not have those pins. Maybe it is a reproduction seat base. I did see on the bottom of my seat installed in the wood a metal fitting in the corner to hold the pin. It only has one metal fitting, guess they did not put the other one back in or it was...

    Approved Transmission Fluids

    I can not find the Allison article now but it said 20 minute warm up on transmissions using motor oil. Or when the transmission temperature gage says 100*. With as much engine oil as some of our engines hold I let my engine oil limber up for at least 10 minutes. If I am using the 915A2 that...

    Aquiring SF-97 form

    If and when you get a SF97 double check all the numbers before you go to your DMV. They had the wrong tare weight on my trailer but they did correct it when I sent it back to Texas.

    Passenger seat hold down.

    I have the little latch for the front. Was there something to hold the seat from sliding side to side when getting into the truck. I see nothing on the truck seat frame work or on the seat bottom that might hold it from going side to side. Not a big deal just wondering. Tanks
