I don't know if perhaps I've missed any posts specifically about this, but my searches so far haven't offered any options besides REALLY EXPENSIVE rebuild kits or even MORE EXPENSIVE complete fan clutch replacement units. (I did find mention on one post about available parts from FanClutch.com -...

I have a MEP 701A that is running but not producing any AC power. I am having a heck of a time trying to locate instructions to try field flashing and/or any other useful troubleshooting procedures. Can anyone advise me what the correct procedure is? I have the TM downloaded and have been...

Well, I've been called out to plow for VDOT this evening and a truck of mine (M923A1) has decided she wants to sit this one out.. I've lost every gauge with the exception of the tach and both air gauges. I've also lost the blower motor. I can smack the PCB box (lightly) with a BFH and get them...

I'm puzzled.. Perhaps someone has some input on this subject. Short history: We spend long hours on standby for snow removal while parked (brake set). I've found that some of my drivers are not applying the parking brake simply because they are tired of the racket. I'd prefer to eliminate the...

So, I thought I would share the result of using low range reverse on a 900 series truck, for those of you who are not clear as to exactly why this is a bad idea... :) I'll give a short background on exactly what caused this catastrophic failure: We use a number of 900 series trucks for snow...

I have an unusual problem with my M923A1 that i'm hoping someone can offer some insight on. The coolant system is creating pressure when COLD. While running, I am not losing a drop of coolant. When I park the truck and let it sit overnight, there is a small puddle of coolant underneath the...

I recently had to do some major repairs to my A3 rear axle (blew out both pinion bearings), and wanted to replace the wheel bearings and seals. After a bit of research, I found that the A3 bearings/seals are VERY expensive and apparently not terribly easy to come by. Having disabled my CTIS...

Having recently serviced my M923 for the winter season, I was very surprised and disappointed when I pulled my dipstick and found a sloppy chocolate milkshake instead of fresh, clean 15W40 engine oil. My first step towards diagnosis was to pull the oil pan and pressure test the coolant system...

The Patient: M35A3. Brief History: Driving down highway at about 50mph having traveled about 25 miles at same speed. Began to smell gear oil about 3 miles from house and started hearing a noise at about the same time. Stopped the truck, underneath covered in gear oil in plane with front pinion...

I just wanted to make sure I do this correctly the first time.. Would like to post a listing for transportation services. Have a 40' flatbed trailer and truck. Do I need to upgrade my membership to do this? Also, would this be best posted in the Classifieds - For Sale ? Thanks.

M35A3 parking brake shoes. Old assembly removed without difficulty, but I seem to be unable to re-install the new shoe assembly on the drum. I hope that im missing something obvious here, but i've been scratching my head and searching posts for awhile with no luck so far. I was unable to locate...

DRT= Dead Right There (FYI). A3 died while driving. Severe power loss, eventual stall - wouldn't restart. No fuel. Will run/sputter on ether. My assumption was a clogged check valve (top of fuel tank). I've had that happen in the past. Same exact symptoms. No dice. Check valve was clean and...

Thought I'd share a seeminglyunusual problem and it's fix I discovered on my A3 steering system. Symptom:Truck felt as though there were detents in the steering box, for lack of abetter way to describe it. Most noticeable while turning the wheel at speed(over 20-25mph) - tight spots in the...

I've been unable to locate any information on the weight capacity of the multiple tie downs located on the inside of the Deuce bed sides. Anyone happen to know? I've not had much luck searching TM's or SS so far. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'll preface with an apology. I know that there have been more glow plug questions than probably any other subject in this forum. I've spent the last two hours thread cruising with no clear solution to or explanation of my particular problem. Facts: 88' M1008. 12V conversion complete months ago...

High bidder on A3 on 2/25 event 5025, STILL waiting on EUC.. Wondering if anyone else is also... GL won't even let me look at it, anyone been down there and previewed or picked one up? What condition were they generally? They say pictures tell 1000 words, I dunno about that.. I'd sure like to...
