HI GUY 1 thing we found at the cal guard OMS shop was the brake valve over the rear axle's that feeds air to them (emerg and service) sides would develop a slow leak and also the brake chambers.
The best way to check is like sparky said water but the leak can also be on the service side,so try...
HI well started and moved(in my yard)my M756A2,need to start the M35A2 next.
Be lucky your not doing an oil change on a M915A1 it is 3 & 1/2.....5 gal bucket's.
:grd::ditto:
:driver:HI by the way, best rpm range is 2100 to 2300 and most will not go over 53 to 55 w/o over tacking them, to low of rpm (lugging it) will also cause what happend to you. I almost allways drive by the tack not the spedo anyway, listening to the sound of the eng and knowing when to shift.
HI general what is your $$ limit for an eng,I have a army depot rebuilt turbo one.
The eng is complete too gen,turbo,bell housing and clutch,starter very low hrs and millage.
I am in CA but the eng is in WV. I was going to put it in my M756A2 but sounds like you need 1 more now.

All the info here is good for you wb,im looking for a set for my M756A2 I want to keep it all OEM for my restore of it.
The M35A2 and 818 dont care but want the pipe line to be stock,it even has the oem small mirrors too.
HI yes this is right,do a load test on genarater check volts then turn on everything,lights 4 way flashers wipers etc see if it still will put out full charge.
Thats a gen not alt,the way to tell is if it puts out full charge at idle its a gen if only full charge at higher rpm's its an...
HI I have my 1st 5 ton too,an 818 (was last used in my cal guard unit too) also worked on all types of trks from HMMWV'S to HEMTT'S at a cal guard FMS shop.
