    M915 A1 hill climb

    I pulled the Pump and took a close look at the aneroid valve. The balder has pin holes in it. It was damaged at the bottom near where the corrosion had been when I unstuck the valve a year earlier. I remember now thinking "I should change this bladder because it looks weak where it was in...

    M915 A1 hill climb

    I guess I would guess this truck is either operating normally and I just have it overloaded or over graded or both. Or, I have a fuel issue. Maybe I should replace the fuel filter and put some a half diesel half diesel fuel cleaner in the new filter?

    M915 A1 hill climb

    No Allison tech has looked at this transmission since I owned it. But my belief is the transmission is operating normally. Since my rpm dropped precipitously during the climb I do not suspect transmission slipping. Torque converter seemed fine. No funny smell.

    M915 A1 hill climb

    I did have to remove the pump once to fix a sticking plunger on the pump. What could have gone wrong with the pump ? Plunger again any idea on how to diagnose pump. It does just have one fuel filter? It is acting like a dog. Wont come close to spinning tires.

    M915 A1 hill climb

    I just stopped moving forward. I did not watch the trans temp but the trip to the hill was only about 1.5 miles. I was more concerned about backing down the hill at this point than looking at the gauges. I sure temp must have been rising but I don't think I was near hot.

    M109 Hercules Injection Pump Wide Open on Start Need cleaning recommendation.

    Thanks for the help Floridianson. I assembled and fired the puppy right up. Before starting I drained a little fuel from the tank and also drained the filters trying to rid some water, but I did not see much. The truck had not been started in at least five years. After starting the air quickly...
