Not sure where that is, but here are some 50 megapixel wide area pics and pics of the bus bar. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1VweBXe2MKoo5qi-aLi5Jhv2gPG4Jt1Bh

Never got this installed. Any ideas?

See bullet list made by AI for a summary. Hello. We obtained this fire truck (Chevy K30/M1008) from another department and have had draining issues with it from the beginning. Since putting a cutoff switch on the firewall battery positive did not resolve the issue, we put a battery cutoff on...

Now they give us a free tank of water before it leaves the prison. :-)

Hello I am looking for the "chassis data connector" but am unable to find it. The picture on the left is the plug that connects to the "chassis data connector" and then goes to the GPS unit. It is a T-harness so another device can be used without unplugging the GPS. The picture on the right...

Two inmates escaped in our tanker (tender) truck - M915A4. https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2012/oct/29/two-escape-tucker-prison-one-still-large/

Hi: I went to this post https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?82404-5-ton-Parts-Quick-Reference-Spreadsheet&p=1987149&viewfull=1#post1987149 and downloaded the sheet. The sheet states "M939A2 & M915 PARTS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE" but when I scroll to the bottom...

but I still did not find the VIM I went and looked at a neighboring department's truck (same NSN), drew diagrams, took pictures and a video. It would have been fine had the firefighter made a diagram before pulling it out. The only things I see beside post 1 are a battery rope and eyelet...

@74M35A2 I believe it is in neutral when no power is applied. I cannot find a "manual lever" on/near the transmission to facilitate any specific gear. Yes, it is electronic only and ours has the mode button, also. WP 0072 00 does not state which fuse is the VIM fuse. If it is located in the...

The technical manual did not show which way the batteries were positioned and I had to visit another fire department to get this information. Hopefully, this will help someone in the future. M915A4 battery box configuration M915A4 battery configuration

@74M35A2 - As I understand it, you are correct that the trans is in neutral unless it is told to do otherwise. Ours has the "mode" on it, also. It is electronic only and I cannot find a lever directly on the trans that would allow a "manual" maneuver. Per TM9-2320-303-24P, I cannot find a fuse...

The lever in chapter 6 of m915_TM 9-2320-273-20 looks completely different than ours. We have a pushbutton with D N R. Are you referring to one of the controllers behind the seats mounted to the rear cab wall? We have an air tap and keep the compressor (with oil and water filters) hooked up...
