    Stuck in LA, 939 Locked in 6-wheel Drive - Ideas?

    Made it over the road, no issues other than The typical bouncing over some well known rough stretches of California roads(5 and 101), but my body is very well intact, as is the truck, the oil pressure gauge started to wave wildly between mid and max about half way, but all else ran very well and...

    that is true and I should have elaborated more, apologies, ive been trying to get this truck out of here for a while, and Im not home yet, so that shaft may end up in the cab afterall.

    Stuck in LA, 939 Locked in 6-wheel Drive - Ideas?

    Tried and failed to contact several folks, (one got back right at the end)came to SS for help, got tons, but got a hard time too, what ever man, I got nothing from you but criticism. I love how most here had no idea what to do but tear the truck apart and figure it out later, maybe that's how...

    Stuck in LA, 939 Locked in 6-wheel Drive - Ideas?

    Think I got it, Made it to a real computer to look at TM diagrams, plumbing topside all panned out, went to follow the advice of pulling the line under the dash but figured it would be easier under the truck at the T case, but first more testing and I found after testing the cab valve after...

    Wasn't trying to be sarcastic, really, just looking for a simple explanation on the what goes where, I thought I had it but still missed it in the explanations, and did photo it and it, looks different than in the photo on threads, and needed a walk through, the I figure it out part was tearing...

    Ha! Im not whining, I just want the data, the deck is coming off tomorrow, I was hoping for more than I could figure out myself, ( removing the shaft, yadda yadda) guess Im going to be looking elsewhere for knowledge of the issue that is not rare on these trucks.

    I just read there is a 6% overdrive on the 5 ton front axle locked in, no wonder the cases were popping.

    I have read in other threads on SS that as many as half of the 939 trucks are mis plumbed, and has been a cause of major transfer case failure, as they were found with the front locked in at the time of failure, I got a real nice truck, why not do it right.

    Stuck in LA, 939 Locked in 6-wheel Drive - Ideas?

    yes everything is turning, Im aware of that, but most 4x4 are set up to track properly by having the front pull ever so slightly more than rear, I have read this in many tech manuals, there is a big difference between part time and full time 4x4, I have seen much damage from not knowing this...

    so its ok to run this full time in 6x6? Then why have a selector at all? Ive seen many trashed transfer cases from pick ups left in 4x4

    I have heard of major transfer case failures, and I am from the never on pavement school of 4x4 as it wrecks transfer cases, especially at freeway speed

    I have a shop, tools and friends here, I just need some one to explain the air, in a from this to this fashion, so far I've got from mounted frame air tee to B on the auto selector, large air line from cab to C, A to some where back and I need to know if this should go to the rear piston, or to...

    my switch is on the left, Same procedure? I have been going over this for a while, I am going to remove the auto select valve, but I dont know what is wrong from that point on, is the main air from the fitting on the frame near by, and the is switch air the big line in the bundle going forward?
