Thanks, I see appendix B now. I will print and take over to the mechanic to observe. He just quoted me ~$12k for a rebuilt transmission and $8k installation. I do not think he is dishonest, I think he just may not have the specific experience. I do not see putting $20k into this repair. Maybe I...

Thank you, but Appendix B of what?

After a very long while, and changing out all of the Solenoids, the mechanic reports that the front pump is not producing and needs to be replaced. A couple of questions to the community: 1) Does anyone know a good source for these parts (Front Pump Assembly -Complete + Stetter(??) )? 2) Does...

The truck is at a shop now. The mechanic, who seems knowledgeable, says that he has traced the problem to a Solenoid ($150). The part was on order last week and I am hoping to get it on the road again soon. I will report back with actual information once it comes out of the shop. Thanks for...

I have visually inspected the wires and harness. Nothing looks stressed or warn. The sensors look unscathed and in good condition. I have not gotten to ohm'ing out all of the wires as suggested. Two new ideas have arisen: 1) Once the engine is started, the transmission will not attempt to go...

Thanks a ton for this.

I searched this forum and found a post from @Dave21 that points to part number 29505601. I'll work with that unless I hear otherwise.

I did not recently pressure wash the truck or do anything else that would disturb the bottom. I did have an issue with two of the older batteries and they were low. This was just before the final drive. After the problem I did ensure that the batteries were fully charged, but I am suspicious of...

Just curious, about how many bolts are there on the flywheel?

Thanks for the guide. I will start on it.

Hello Friends. I bought a 1995 M1078 from GovPlanet last year. 10k miles. Great truck, it ran right off the start. No leaks, everything seems to work except the CTIS which I think is just unplugged. I have put about 200 road miles on it, and as I said it performs perfectly. Engine starts...

I think trying to register an M1078 in California is only possible in two cases: 1) The person at the DMV your dealing with is incompetent and processes the title and registration against their own rules 2) You do a legitimate convert to an RV, which requires a permanent living quarters add on...

I just bought a M1078 on GovPlanet. It will take a couple of months to get the paperwork signed off so they can release the truck to me. My intention is to register it in California. I am creating custom special project to support wildfire prevention out of it. After reading the above posts...
