Yes the air doors work perfectly.The only thing that appears to be faulty is the control of the water tap.... Paul

Too many likes … again good luck Larry

Same here in Central N.C.,, Brocky..

Things have pretty well cleared up around her. BUT we are supposed to get more snow on Saturday.. Was 10*F this morning my pipes held OK.. Supposed to be in the 20's every morning into the middle of next week.

Ya, my next biggest concern is the sleeves. I was reading in the manual about replacing the sleeves.

My wife loves My enchaladas.. She helps me make them. I can only eat 1...

You have most everything you need to have both systems working. What you may not have is the controls for them to operate as designed. That is possible to build. You could add a frost switch and the A/C system would function. I don't know if the temp control lever has enough travel to have a cable controlled valve work with it. However, you can install a knob that can do that. It will not look "stock" but would look Ok and function. Do the air doors to direct the outlet air work?

Nice weather Paul.We are rained out of it here.According to the weather people we have had 6 times the average rainfall for January...They say the polar air mass affecting the US has blocked a deep low pressure system centered just west of Ireland and spead up the jet stream collecting a massive amount of moist air and dumped it on us and the UK along with strong gale force winds.The country is flooded with main roads impassable and rail services suspended.Ferry services are also suspended Even large cargo ships are staying in port.Air traffic is operating but with delays.....Roll on the summer!!!

The worst ones ive done was pulling pencil injectors out of 2 John Deere 3179 DF heads. They were auction engines and when I got them from my customer, the pallets under them had plants and grass growing out of the pallets because they were outside for years.. I worked my a$$ off on those to get them ready for the machine shop..

For sure Paul... for sure

That may work Joey, lots of possum piss and patience is my go to, if it is really that rusted in, it's gunna be a stuff about getting them out Paul

47°C yesterday here, thats 114°f Said to Timmy that we got outta Dodge just in time We would be snowed in at JFK still Paul

Thanks for your research on this Geoff.We would like to get the air con working if possible but a working heater may have to do.Im going to by pass the heater tap and if that works it will do for now while we look deeper in to this problem... Paul

I didnt do this with mine, but i wonder if you had access to a large arbor press and blocked the head at a good angle and pushed them out... Hell I dont know... I just know it took me hours to get mine out...

Gently gently wise grasshopper Paul

Hopefully the injector sleaves stay in if not you got another issue to contend with! If you can zip wheel or even torch of the studs and get the injector to turn in the bore you may get lucky! Lots of WD 40 !

Ya, such a stupid arrangement. Definitely not made for "ease of maintenance". I guess they design it for a lifetime of use only. I looked at pricing heads and that was $4000 a pair. Guess I will be pounding these out.

This is pretty common with pulling injectors on anything with a bit of age I have tried a puller once and just tore the top out of the injector Once the injector is stuffed just turn the head upside down and belt it out with a chisel and big hammer, don't miss the punch or you'll likely stuff the head completely I only use the pry bars I had shown before and just work away slowly at it These are simple compared to some old Cat stuff with nuts and special spanners They take a lot of time to get out Paul

It’s not funny but interesting that if it had a Robert Bosch set up on it there’s is an oring on the injector about a 1/2 inch from the top! When equipped with Ambac pump the injectors had a stupid foam gasket at the top that simply rotts away after sever l years and you end up where you are! So the morel of the story liberal amounts of neaver seaze is required on install on the body of the injector lesson learned by the school of hard knocks! just sayin!

I learned the trucks were all built from 1997 to 1999, and were rebuilt under army contract by Oshkosh from 2007 to 2010. The low mileage is from the rebuild date. Allegedly Oshkosh complete went through them including rebuilding the engines, which sounds like SOP. Wikipedia: Two separate contracts were awarded in 2004 to Oshkosh for overhauling service-worn M1070s. A total of 1,109 tractors were reset to an original build standard and with zero miles/zero hours and a full one-year warranty. The cost was about 75% of that of new build vehicles. From 2010, the M1070A1 had a CAT C18 and Allison 4800SP 7-speed.

RI-DOT...

That's an Evans. I'm sorry, I can't remember the 2790-HVxxxxxx part-number for the slider knobs. Red Dot has a similar knob, RD544500, but of course I'd rather look up the truck by model and serial, get the 2RD heater assembly number and grab the correct 2790- knob number from that breakdown and supercede forward from there.

Those injectors are a pita if they are rusted in the bores.. the oring decides to become 'one with the injector cup'... fun stuff...

Man, they’re monsters wow thanks for that
