    Roboimpact question

    You sold it to me! That is your unit I am testing in the video! I did find the torque increased when the truck was running. I will need to order parts to fix the broken pieces or send it to Aircraft Dynamics for repair. I may just send it in so they can recondition the whole thing. It doesn't...

    How do you drain the air tanks?

    I'd be interested in testing one out. I use a long wrench on my M35A2s, but the M109A3s could benefit from the mod. I usually send my 13yr old son under to drain the air, so he'd appreciate it!

    oil filter gasket poblems still

    The ones from NAPA should fit perfectly. Are you recessing the gasket into the groove? The outer edge of the gasket should be hidden from view as it is recessed into the groove around the filter base.

    How do you drain the air tanks?

    Don't buy the surplus kit that Saturn sells. The rings on the end of the wires WILL fall off if you pull too hard....which will happen. Trust me. I bought some new drain valves at Ryder Fleet Products - Starting Page Regular valve: U80 036021 - $6.27 ea Pull string valve: U55 12104 -...

    Gone and done it In Sc

    If you look at the auction photos carefully, you will see they were ALL running when the photos were taken. Most had 1/2 to 3/4 full fuel tanks (if the gauges are right!). Even the trucks that looked rough had new parts under the hood or in the cab. A few had new steering wheels and columns...

    wait to start light

    Does anyone have the schematic for the card itself? I seem to recall seeing it somewhere, but can not find it now aua That will clear up my question pronto.

    wait to start light

    I too am curious what controls the actual "ON" time. I have one '86 m1009 where the light is on for maybe 3 secs and a 2nd '86 m1009 where the light stays on for 8-10. Is it time controlled in the GP circuit board or is there a sensor reading that determines when it shuts off or cycles...

    Has anyone actually driven a M35 20+hours?

    I spent close to that in a deuce driving from Camp Beauregard, LA to Palm Bay, FL. I think Aboonski still has some videos on youtube as we entered the sunshine state just as the sun was coming up. That was a fun trip!

    m1009 vacuum lines

    The modulator is on the side of the transmission. The regulator is on the IP. Page 46 of 9-2320-289-34P references the part as: 14057219 VALVE,VACUUM REGULA Stock modulators do not allow adjustment. Most replacements will. You can adjust the shift points at the modulator if it supports...

    is this normal?

    I sent my paperwork for event 4107 on 3/26 as well. GL customer support confirms they have it; yet, my status still shows as "Submission of EUC Pending". I feel your pain. Last four or five EUCs I have sent took 2 days before being sent to Battle Creek. When I called GL today, they said that...
