    M977 HEMTT Acquisition

    I searched all over and this is the cheapest option I could find. Almost $200. I was hoping to find an NOS one but no luck. http://www.finditparts.com/products/7114713/muncie-power-products-379686-2?srcid=CHL01SCL018-Uvconfirm&utm_campaign=confirm&utm_medium=email&utm_source=orders

    It's on the right side of the trans. It has 2 wires and 3 hoses connected to it. 2 of them go to the PTO.

    Are you going to the Sussex MV show in April. I will probably be there with my M977.

    I see in your signature you have a HEMAT trailer? How is the truck to drive with that? Do you have any pictures with it hooked up?

    Have you driven it much yet? Some guys on here were saying there is a steep learning curve to driving the HEMTT's I did not find that to be the case at all. It takes a little bit to get used to but so does any new vehicle you drive for the first time. I have driven mine all over different...

    Did you decide on the brand of ATF you will use? When you did the fuel filters did you have to prime it? If so how did you do it? I think I have some bad fuel lines as mine stalls once in awhile when I come to a stop. I replaced the short supply line (2feet?) that goes to the fuel pump as it...

    The TES389 stuff is much cheaper but needs to be changed more often. I figure its still way better than the crap uncle sam puts in them. And when they were originally built they allison called for DEXIII. I actually 2 new (rebuilt) trannys. One I bought locally and the other I just won at...

    Which trans fluid are you using? I have been looking at the TES295 trans fluid but at 38 quarts that stuff will cost close to $500.

    Interesting. Mine has a spin on oil filter. The hydraulic filter at the bottom of the chassis by the trans? That is the trans filter I think. Mine has a spin on hydraulic filter right at the reservoir.

    Yours has a canister style oil filter? Do you have some pictures of it? I guess mine must have been converted to a standard filter? There are 2 filters for the hydraulic system and screw on type and the canister type. Have you been able to location the canister element? Also, are you planning...

    I actually picked up a case of 6 detroit oil filters 23518531 if anyone needs any. Not sure what they are worth. I only need 2 or 3.

    I have all of the manuals in PDF and hard copy. They are essential to any Military vehicle owner. When my crane was stuck all setup I had no idea where the problem was or where to start. After 20 minutes reading the troubleshooting steps in the manual I was able to figure out where to start...

    dk8019 - I didn't notice the air system draining any faster than my 5 ton did. With air brakes you can't pump them else you will drain the air very fast. HASSON1911 - I took mine to a show in PA last weekend and I would of liked the jake for some of the steeper grades. I smelled the brakes...

    Is the Jake break working? After I put a new engine in mine I left the Jake unhooked as it wasn't working right before. I want to hook it back up but I'm not sure where all of the wires go. I have all of the manuals but the wire schematics are confusing. So far I have replaced the motor...
