m929 dump.engine lock up ???

[jcappeljr]

I bought the truck to resell,Already have $10k in the truck.It wont be cost effective to swap engines or fix this one.I have a m932a2 I might put the bed on it.To busy to pull the engine apart.

any chance the trans is locked to the flywheel so it feels like the engine is locked?

 

[jcappeljr]

I guess its possible.I wont turn over with a long bar on the front of the engine.

several of the other members had mentioned trans stuck in both hi/lo, and your problems started when you put the truck in gear...got me wondering if it was the trans having an issue...with the lock up conv it would hold the engine tight...maybe rock the longbar back and forth and have someone watch the trans output shaft to see if it moves also...or make sure the torque conv turns free...put truck in neutral and tow for few feet forward and reverse to make sure trans is not locked...tough job when everything weighs triple digits...got my fingers crossed for a fellow dump!

I would definatly work on freeing that transmission. It is in "wind up" with the engine.

Thank you for satisfying my curiosity. It's always good to get closure on these threads.
Wonder what let go in the engine?

Well, sorry to hear that it was locked engine. I have always loved the 5 ton dumps. It's what I drove as an E3, E4. Old school but loved that it was power steering vs. the old deuces. Is it an A0, A1, or A2? If it has ABS I want that rearmost air relay for sure. I put a pic on my want ad. Give me a day or two and I should have a list made up. Wish you were in western Pa. List would be longer.

John I could have made you a good deal on a cummins 250 to put in there.

 

[OilfieldRoughneck]

I was hoping you were selling it as is.

 

[jcappeljr]

The only thing left from the truck is the frame rails.Another engine would not do me any good.

 

[Sephirothq]

John you are quick at the parting out. I wish I was as good as you are.

 

[jcappeljr]

I have it down to a science.one and a half days to strip the truck to the frame rails..Torches and air tools are awesome..
