    M915 No Turn Signals

    I found the problem. The power in terminal on the flasher (X?) either has a cold solder joint or there is some corrosion in the contacts. Hold the terminal one way & everything works, let go, and nothing. Is the Truck-Lite 263 a compatible flasher for these trucks? Dt

    M915 No Turn Signals

    I replaced the turn signal switch, it is the same model but the wire colors are different. I pulled the covers of the new and old switch and matched wire locations so I'm sure it is wired right. I spliced the wires into the old harness before the Molex connector. I might bypass the connector...

    M915 No Turn Signals

    I am having a problem troubleshooting the turn signals on our fire depts. M915. I have looked at the TMs but I do not understand them. It had an intermittent problem with the left turn signal, no neither side works. The light on the turn signal switch flashes but that is it. I know when they...

    M915 opinions wanted

    That's what we are doing right now. M915(A1?) with a M967 trailer. We are replacing the pump and valves off the trailer with a smaller/simpler pump. We are about ready to paint them both. Dt

    M915A1 Brakes Locked Up

    I forgot to update. The valve on the frame was the problem. The shop also found out that the rear axles brakes were inop. It took them a while to find a replacement valve that would work but they finally did. Dt

    M915A1 Brakes Locked Up

    The trailer brakes work fine. I tried swapping them to see but no luck. I ended up running a line from one of the tanks straight to the trailer to get it rolling and eased the truck down the road in 2nd to limp it back to the fire station. Dt

    M915A1 Brakes Locked Up

    I finally got it to move. The park brake is working backwards. I had to leave the truck park brake on, and supply the trailer with air to unlock it to drive it. When you take the parking brake off the truck(by pushing the valve in) it sets the brakes and the brake lights come on. Dt

    M915A1 Brakes Locked Up

    Yes it is. Quick release valves where? When I take the brakes off, the brake lights come on. When I pull the valves out, the lights go off. I tried to unhook the trailer to see if the truck would pull out from under it. It wouldn't move. And then the rearend yoke let go. The front brake...

    M915A1 Brakes Locked Up

    We(vol. fire dept.) have a new to us M915. It is currently on the side of the road with the truck brakes locked up. The M967 trailer we are pulling seems to be fine. The truck parking brake and trailer supply valves seem to be working fine. They stay in/out, & act normally. The foot brake...

    NTC 400 Mo Power

    Nevermind. I wasn't looking hard enough. The air compressor already draws air from the turbo too. And what is the switch on the linkage for? Dt

    Hello from Mississippi

    I've lurked around here for a couple of years. I'm a volunteer firefighter in central Mississippi. We started in 96 or so with a '65 5 ton(M35?) a tank trailer. We upgraded to a M818 about 5 years a go, and earlier this year replaced that one with a M915A1. I've always been interested in...

    We have a M915A1 but the fuel pump is different(newer?) on ours. It looks like the one in the last pic in post 96. Any ideas? Dt
