    M373a2 Brake parts info

    On my 373A2 it ran the same wheel cylinders as the 809 series 5 ton trucks and only has one slave cylinder per side. Two inch cups. Got mine from Memphis Eq. I switched out the old axle out for a new S cam air axle 25k GVW and glad I did. If you can afford it that is a great up grade.

    brakes lock up after sitting a while

    I have a new air dryer and I still got lock up. As someone said without dust shields the ground rain splatter gets all over the shoes / drums and long term they lock together. Mine are caged as I don't use the MTV now that I have the M915A2.

    Guess I should have asked was this a running truck and nothing done? Was this engine /IP worked on and what was done?

    brakes lock up after sitting a while

    Who showed you the trick of caging the brakes for storage? Yea if they sit for awhile just cage the brakes is simple and easy.

    I don't think it is the booster pump. Try and up the main fuel if it is to low it will kill the fuel and shut down the engine.

    If you are sure you have correct timing then you might try and up the main fuel adjustment one full turn. Mark the nut with a black marker so you know where it was to start. If it will idle then you can back down the main fuel nut 1/2 turn and see if it idles at that setting.

    I can't see in the pic are they single hole?

    One should think that if it runs at higher rpm not lower then it's getting some fuel and should idle. Does not take much fuel to idle. What makes the pressure in the Head? What holds the pressure back in the Head? What lets the pressure out of the Head?

    M543a2 blew a fuel line. Can't figure out how to access it

    I would like to see a pic sideways with how much room but. Wash down the head with brake cleaner cut off the plastic line at the fitting and unscrew the fitting from the head maybe. You need to bypass the FDC so just install synflex push fitting at the head and one at the final fuel filter run...

    What would you guys think about a dump truck load of fire wood delivered. I have a call made to a company that is getting me a price. This would be not split and what ever the length. The only problem I see is people don't seem to gather around one place but have there own little parties going...

    I hate crimping connectors. Sorry sad but true. Solder, liquid tape, heat shrink!

    Injection Pump Timing

    Thanks to Gimpyrobb aka Chris. There is the easy way to find correct TDC on the harmonic balancer than taking off the valve cover if we are just checking timing. Take off the oil fill cap and look for the valve that is just forward of the fill hole. You should just be able to see the #2 exhaust...

    M109 Deuce multi fuel won't start

    No you want to leave it in the shut down position. That way if the fuel control sticks it won't be sticking at WOT. Also if one was to leave the transmission in gear and the truck got a hard bump it could start and run down the road. Also the correct starting is to leave the engine shut down...
