That's the Cat semi auto trans with the air valve body on the top left. The trans that I would like to have in my M920 would be the Allison 4700SP. I have heard that you can set it up to run on a mechanical diesel engine. Lots of green backs to switch it out but is the way of the future heavy...

Two months ago finished my 05 superduty. Every possible upgrade . The list is too long for me to type! Over $5 K. Did the work Myself! Very expensive engine to fix. What about picking up a retired Bluebird school bus that has the Cummins 5.9 with the aftercooler on it? Use the engine and...

Quick note. A pin hole in the liner will give you bubbles in your radiator with a heating issue most of the time. A bad liner O ring /seal will dump coolant directly into the oil pan with no other symptoms. You can drop the pan and get a coolant pressure test tool. Pump it to 12 psi and grab...

I too needed a key for my truck when I went to get it. I used the key code c250 at a local locksmith. Two keys $7.50. Also took a new switch: STANDARD #US100. The c250 worked perfect. Also worked in the door. After I made it home I ended up changing out the switch due to voltage drops thru the...

I like it! That took alot of work.

Thats so true about the extras that come with your truck. I recently recovered my truck from Nellis. As I was driving home in Arizona. Started to heat up as the day went. Had one then two then Oh crap! Yellow wasps coming out from under the dash to see who was driving. Glad it was a place where...

Awesome looking truck. Very clean look with the hubs flipped. I don't know if this is the same with the MVs ? The commercial " Ten Wheelers" that ran the wide super singles on the steer axle had a increased toe adjustment to solve the wondering ride. I read that 920 runs 22.5s on his big ol...

Hey Reb thats good news. Your certainly giving it a test. Did the adapters come with torque specs on the bolts? Do they look to be hardened? Didn't mean to step on any toes. The fifth wheel and trailer kingpin are as important as the brakes and steering etc. As you know if there is a accident...

I agree on the emergency use only. Making the kingpin change with DOT parts would be best. Do it right and avoid the Oh SH**!!!

I checked on Holland's web site. The replacement kingpins show a brinell hardness of 302-363. I also checked into the UK kingpin adapter UK 0866106. The parts company stated that the adapter was not to increase load capacity and for handling purposes only. No info on if it's heat treaded. I...

Yes it's hard to realize how big this truck is till you see it in person. Sitting next to my Autocar I started comparing frame size,axles, fifth wheel, drivelines etc. WOW!! What a truck! Can't wait to use her.

So true So true. You know how it is! Put a A/C in the 920 and you wouldn't want to get out of the truck. Sure will miss winter!

M920 recovery went better than expected from Nellis. Quick look over and fluid check. Batterys and cables were in bad shape with 05 date. Turned the PT pump on manual and jumped with the help of the GL fellow. She came to life. With low tires and a snort of fuel left in her we drove it two miles...

What does the exhaust look like? Try all the easy fixes first: change fuel filter,check for air intake restriction, run truck with throttle linkage disconnected. Manually stroke the PT pump to see if you get full rpms. Should be responsive from a idle to full stroke making the engine torque the...

I will jack up each side of the front axle and check for play and hunt down those grease fittings before I head home with the truck. Will want to check into this 7155 some more. Is the gear sections oil splash lubed or is there any gear pumps internally to lube the bearings? Would be good to...

Thanks fer the offer

Hello to all. I'm new to this forum and like to say what a good bunch you all are! Have a question about the oil used in the 7155 trans and what filter it uses? Won a 920 at Nellis in January and the Euc cleared. Will be heading that way next week to hopefully get her and drive back to Arizona...
