    M-1078 Windshield Wiper Motor and Linkage Replacement and Repair

    I had to replace my whole linkage because of a broken spline, it involved me taking the PDP, dash and heater out to replace it.

    Severe wheel hop

    On my truck the wheel vibe is at 55 mph, it will dampen out at 60, then at 65-70 the vibes will get significantly worse. When doing turns the vibes will get better or worse depending if the vibes amplify or cancel each other. I have done a datum test where I hang a reference and spin the tire on...

    LMTV (M1079) STOPS RUNNING WHILE DRIVING

    What are the symptoms of the shutdown? Does the truck shut off as if you shut down the master switch? Does the electrical power stay on after the shut down? You need to narrow down your problem to an electrical, mechanical, hydraulic problem or a combination of the three. Typical hot coolant...

    From fire truck to MTV

    I did a drive last week, though a pass, most of the tractors pulling doubles were going about 30mph, other trucks pulling boats were doing 45-50, I had a 1078 3126 275hp weight at 20k eco hubs, going about 55-60. The calibration or adaptation seems to not have a kickdown. When the throttle is...

    FMTV 3126 Engine options

    If you need any tech data I use TM 9-2320-312-24-2, it has been a good reference. I used it for my overhead valve adjustment and wiring in my cruise control, and diagnosing my fuel feed issue.

    FMTV 3126 Engine options

    The data plate is good info to determine if the crank was machined down and the bearings are oversized. The problem with oversized is that it removes a possible repair in the future if the crank has to be machined again. Most likely when it was overhauled, the crank was found to have a pit or...

    From fire truck to MTV

    your install of the heater looks nice, I installed mine in a box near the top of the camper. The head/suction pressure for the fuel was to high so I used a faucet lift pump off the troop heater to lift up to a fuel filter module and took the fuel off the return via a T fitting, for some reason...

    If you purchased any auto fuses for your FMTV on AMAZON, you better watch this fire safety warning!

    https://caraxfuse.com/specs, this is the brand I get, I have tripped them a few times, all seem to fail at reasonable levels. It looks like the company is based in Florida. They even light up when tripped.

    LMTV Allison Stall Test issues

    looks like a C1 and C5 for range 1 and C1 and C4 for range 2, I would also imagine he would get a failed ratio test code. There are codes for ones below lockup, do you think the TC stall test outside of limits would cause a ratio test failure.
