So is your truck still 24V? Is the oil pressure gauge the stock one? Because if an aftermarket sending unit would work with the factory gauge, that would be fantastic, since the Newstar sending units are beyond worthless.
IMHO, CARC is the best bet. I believe it flakes because all these trucks have abysmal paint preparation. I have had several trucks that the military sandblasted and then didn't put any primer on! They shot the CARC directly onto bare metal. And all the other trucks I've had were maybe washed...
You can go look at the members map and see who is along your route. Some of those members participate in member assistance (like me).
I'm in Athens, Ga. I have a towbar and sometimes can make things work.
I've done a ton of these, let me offer a few points.
1. You might as well take the entire assembly apart so you can clean it. I have gotten so many of these where one of the shoes was seized on the bellcrank because it had corrosion on it. Take it apart and clean it. Once the bellcrank...
I'll have to go upstairs and correct those posts because I think you're right on both counts. EDIT: posts above corrected.
On the rope spooling, I guess I got mixed up looking at it, thinking which way the rope would exit the drum to engage the lower rollers. Looking at it some more, I guess...
Wait............. you mean they're all not this clean?
If the shaft is moving back and forth in the case, then something inside isn't kosher. The entire main shaft would be moving back and forth. So there's a bearing, shim, something that isn't keeping the shaft in place. The transfer is...
Oh man, I didn't mean it that way. If you sell something, nobody can blame you for not posting up how the project finished!
As I was doing this job, I repeatedly thought of this thread and thought "Hasson probably set the truck on fire and that's why he never finished that thread".
No.
That's my plan; I'm going to offer the kit both ways. With and without. Reason I'm working on finding a master is that the correct ones are hard to find and expensive. I am going to find a better solution.
Oh wait, there's one more thing.......................... rofl
How many of you guys have ever replaced the electroline fitting on a winch?
The manufacturer says it works like this:

Look at the flash animation that's halfway down...
This is what I meant about the clevis and shift arm:
Ok, so now, the system is complete and you've filled it with fluid. I used Napa AW32 10W. 932 took 8 gallons.
So, this last part covers the way the wire rope rolls onto the drum.
EDIT: I originally thought level wind equipped drums had...
Alright, as I was saying, this stuff is big. So you may have to be clever in order to get it installed.
This feed hose is big and it's designed to flex in order to get it in place. Improvisation.
Again, everything is specific. This pump came off a cargo truck. Note the rear hose fitting...
Alright, with the tank mounted and PTO in place, let's move the hydraulic pump and linear (diverter valve).
The way this system works is that you engage the PTO, the PTO spins a driveshaft that runs a hydraulic pump. Hyd. pump creates pressure and sends it to the linear valve, which you...
Ok, so in order to have room to get the PTO into place, you have to remove one of the tranny cooling lines on top of the trans, one that's behind the PTO (which has to come out in order to add the cooling line going to the PTO, the exhaust pipe and heat shield, etc. So with all that out of the...
I have been planning on adding to this thread for a while and since I'm sick and sidelined on the couch, today is it.
Since this thread is titled in a way that makes it always come up at the top for any M939 winch install, I think we're going to consider it the official "how to install a winch...
Our company owns nothing but Cummins duallies, automatics and six speeds and having logged lots of miles in both, I literally can not wrap my head around buying an automatic. The sticks are eleventy billion times more pleasant to drive.
You need to see if the shifter shaft is moving in the transfer or the entire case is moving. Most people re-use their old transfer mount bushings and with age they get hard and don't do their job. You can buy new ones, look in the -P manual, find the NSN and google/ebay it. Think I bought...
I am determined to bring this to market and I have two extremely competent friends with manufacturing expertise in my corner, so I am confident I can make one. Question is going to be at what price and how many do I have to make and how many master cylinders to I have to buy in order to get...
