    Storage Bin recommendations for M101A2

    Think like crack I am addicted to Hardigg military storage cases. Between the aluminum med boxes and plastic cases I must have about 75 stacked up around.

    Deuce Rear Hub Runs Hot

    After your 100 foot pound load while spinning then back off then setting preload at 50 foot pounds how far are you backing of that?

    Deuce Rear Hub Runs Hot

    I really can not believe that a rubber seal would heat up a hub. Bearing pre load or weight on the axle would make more sense to me.

    HEMTT M977 - Crank, No Start

    I am liking Will's thought of checking the fuel pump pressure at the secondary.Thought it was 60psi from reading but yea needs no air and pressure. Would seem if you have a full system up to the primary and you primed up the secondary to clear the head then she should have fired. Would seem if...

    HEMTT M977 - Crank, No Start

    I was thinking all silver 92 series were mechanical and the DDEC came out with the four stroke. Google was my friend and some of the silver 92 series did run with the DDEC system. Mine was not but I did not have Allison automatic. Did the 92's that had the DDEC system also have electronic...

    HEMTT M977 - Crank, No Start

    I leave my hand primer hooked up to the primary filter base on the 3-53 in the crane that sits for long times. The hand primer is a nice thing to have if you have the Detroit. You need a gallon jug of clean diesel, and enough hose so you can hook it to the primary filter base and still have...

    HEMTT M977 - Crank, No Start

    Did they put on a emergency shut down cable on the motor? My 6V92 and my 8V92 in my dump trucks did not have one but some older Detroit's had the emergency shut down that had to be reset by hand. It was a flapper that closed off the air to the blower. Also Detroit's really like the mechanical...

    Fan Clutch Issues

    If I remember some use air to in gage some use disengage. I like the one the was replaced on my 920. It took air to disengage and I liked that one. If there was an air problem the default was to lock up and the truck could still use the fan to cool till the problem was fixed. There was no bolts...

    Polaris MV850

    You will have fun with it. The trick to polaris with there drive belts is to know when to put it in low range. This will keep from glazing the belt or burning one up. Sometimes I get pretty far from camp by myself so I carry an extra belt, the clutch tool and some side cutters ( wire cutters)...

    Spin-on Fuel Filters

    Believe from reading lots of people have up graded the secondary and final to spin on. I think the booster pump could handle more that our IP ever could. My perfect set up would be like what has been done or Parker up grade in tank pump. Primary water filter 30/20 micron then after the booster...

    Spin-on Fuel Filters

    Did you upgrade the in tank pump too? If my truck has sat awhile I let my stock pump pump awhile before I hit the starter and she goes on the first push of the button. Mine replacement's from NAPA primary, 10 secondary, 6 final.

    Wheel adapters beveled on wrong side

    I don't know much but here I know I would not use them. Wonder if who ever made them was looking through a mirror when he was reading the specs.

    torquing head studs for oil leak

    Yea last head gasket job on my Deuce was done by the last owner / my friend and he used the new style. No problems so far but the truck has been sitting for years just the fire up to move or run around the yard. Do you think yours is the gasket problem or head lifting? Don't quote me on this one...
