    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Nope, it was not there. Found it in the storage box behind the drivers seat after I replaced the assembly. I drove it probably 150 miles before it let go.

    FMTV Replacement Door Handle Upgrade

    I replaced the outside handle with locking Trimark door handles, replaced the door latches with double jaw Bearclaw latches. If I was doing it again, I would use the single jaw, it fits better! It is well worth the work involved, the factory stuff is pure junk. Mike

Another huge resource is superiorturbo.com They have helped me out with a lot of new obsolete parts, I would not be surprised if they...

    DTC Code 164-0 and 164-3 anyone have any experience here?

    I manage a large fleet with a number of Cat C7 engines. Sensors, Injectors and HEUI pumps are a constant problem, along with an occasional dropped exhaust valve. The 3126 and C7 are closely related, nearly identical engines. The C7 has a design life of 18,000 hours, most of mine are lucky to...

    Manual CTIS, electric over pneumatic.

    An automotive leakdown tester is a godsend for troubleshooting CTIS. Just remove the air line on the left side of the PCU, attach the Leakdown tester and pressure to 50 psi. Go over the air system with soapy water and a spray bottle, paying particular attention to the vents on the quick release...

    need hemtt Detroit Diesel 8v92ta mechanic near Sacramento

    The sleeves go in the top outside bolt holes in the heads. I have always used old head bolts for guide studs, do not use the in the holes with the guide sleeves! If they are threaded, just urn them in a thread or so, makes them much easier to remove. don forget the shims on ther deck surface.

    Are you speaking of the ones that go in the frame mounted brackets? If so, I have some brackets with good bushings in them. They are FMTV but look like the same stuff. Come and get them!

    M1078 Transmission Wiring Pin Location Map or Knowledge of Pin Locations Allison 3070PT

    I was able to download the entire WTEC2 diagnostic and schematic manual online for free. I am a little perplexed that you have a square connector at the trans, that was only used prior to 9-94?

    M1078 Transmission Wiring Pin Location Map or Knowledge of Pin Locations Allison 3070PT

    I think I already have. I will have to look? I searched, did not find a post, I will have to get my part numbers found again and write one. It's hard work but not terribly complicated.
