I suppose, but this truck is decievingly clean. No oil leaks anywhere. The only air leak I found is all 3 lines going into the cab leveling valve. Took the lines out of the quick release fittings and put them back in with some silicone around the edge and now it works great. Cab doesn’t sink...
Well now that I think about it, there was a caging bolt in one of the air chambers of the right rear brake, but it wasn't tight, just laying there and I took it out and promptly forgot about it 😳. Thanks, definitely something to check 👍
The problem is I only went a mile and after shifting to neutral it won't go back to drive till it cools off. When I got back home I switched to neutral at the top of the drive, see if it will roll in neutral and it doesn't. It's like I set the brake. Also can't shift back into drive until it...
Possible, but I've got bigger problems now. Took it down to the gas station, first trip since being delivered. Gas station is about a mile away. Got there fine. Went to leave and it wouldn't shift into gear, 7 just flashing. Found trans to be super hot. Trans seems to be full on dipstick...
It's original to the truck. Truck only has 1500 miles on it. When I hit the lamp test switch only a few indicator lamps light. I'm assuming they should all light. Like I said, the PTO indicator lights now, but it doesn't with the test switch. Same with the fan switch. Doesn't test, but comes...
I've got the winch working just by removing the PTO relay and jumping pin 30 to pin 87. Basically bypassing all the transmission and rpm sensor stuff. Yes, it's looking for neutral and rpm between about 1200 and 1500. The winch switch gets power from the PTO switch and then sends it to the winch...
Well having the right diagram would certainly help! I got mine off the Midwest Military Equipment website and it was the only one on there, didn't occur to me that there could be others! Thanks for the info! Hopefully I can find the problem.
Trying to get the PTO winch going on my new to me 1998 M1078. Everything on the truck works except the PTO winch. I was able to hot wire the PTO by jumping pin 30 to pin 87 on the K37 PTO relay socket and the instrument light came on and the PTO was engaged and running. Following the wiring...
Awesome, thank you for the video and pictures. My truck came yesterday and I swapped out the 4 military batteries and put 2 group 31 batteries in. Started right up. Just ordered a battery disconnect switch 👍
