    M809 series Trans air leak

    No, I didn't have any. I tried to get new o-rings, but they were an odd size. I carefully used some silicone to seal the bodies together.

    M809 series Trans air leak

    I had pulled the valve pack the other day, completely took it apart, cleaned it lubed it and reassembled it. Put it back in and it still leaked. After some bessing around with it and puilding up pressure it stopped leaking.....great! But then I noticed, when shifting to reverse it would hear...

    M818 history/info and sf/97 question

    Thanks for all the help so far! I haven't checked the data plate for the reg number, but on the piece of paper it very well could be a G, it is marked up in the middle and I can't really tell.

    M809 series Trans air leak

    I tried putting it in first and revers when looking at it, but it still did not stop venting. When I said antifreeze, I meant for the air system, air line alchohol. I was thinking maybe I got moisture built up in the system, and it froze the vent open?

    May not be here, I'm moving to Wisconsin next month. As far as the tires, It has the goodyear G286's, not the NDT's. Hmm, I wonder how I can put some weight on the back of this thing, w/o buying a trailer.........yet.

    M809 series Trans air leak

    Not sure what model they are, standard M809 series stuff though. The piece I'm talking about is on top of the trans, maybe the valves for the sprag? They look to go back towards the t-case. I thought I read that the lock pin was from the m939 series trucks.

    M809 series Trans air leak

    I went to fire up my 818 this morning to move it and unload my tools, but the air pressure would not build up. I started poking around, and eventually removed the trans access cover. There are two air "units" and inbetween there is a lone fitting, (threaded female) that is not hooked to...

    Recovery trip in progress

    Part 2: (really long) I get to GSA in waunakee, get taken out to the truck (they were nice enough to get this thing running for me and said it drove in the yard, and had brakes. I brought them a dozen very good donuts for doing that for me. Get out to the truck with my car, and start swapping...

    Part 1 (The pleasent part of the trip): Left my sisters house at 6:15, arrived at DRMO sparta around 7:45. Got all signed in, mike (nice guy) took me to my truck, after a little coercing with the preheater switch it fired up. I had already gone to look at the truck so I knew the brakes and...

    m818 battery and heater question

    Not sure if it the correct one, although it could probably be made to work, the biggest thing is it does not have the in cab pieces or the controls for the heater. I'd like a complete package.

    m818 battery and heater question

    I've been leaning away from a 4d or 8D as I'm not sure I can get them to fit w/o modifications, which are not real feasable to do when I pick it up. Went to look at the catalog at the local napa. Found a napa 7565, which is a ford truck battery. The dimensions are smaller than the 6tl's, so...

    My first 5 ton

    It looked similar to the one I saw that had just sold at GSA in waunakee when I was down looking at my truck. Looks like mine runs so I won't need a transporter after all :)
