If you post to an old thread does it get brought up to the front of "New Posts"?
Is it visible to the poster in "New Posts" I dont see it when I scroll down through.
Ive had a couple posts on an old thread (HEMTT wheels on FMTV) that was relevant to what I was doing. The last 2 posts haven't had...
Needing some input on valve stem / ctis
Fmtv valve stem is about 1" short and needs 1" more offset to work on HEMTT wheels
First two pics. Factory valve stem has the smooth part to seal on the 90* o-ring. In the haltec catalog, it looks like this is a one off style.
Other pics. After...
Started to see what is all about. Just as when the truck showed up, then the 16s. They are much bigger than I expected.
Split one of the old rims to get the valve stem and ctis hardware out to see what will be needed to fit to the HEMTT wheel.
I thought the ctis thread on assembly to the...
The Allison transmission/transfercase are combined. In normal operation It splits the ratio 30/70 front to rear. Im Mode, It locks the ration 50/50. It will cause damage if operated w/o a driveline in.
@coachgeo has a great set of links at the bottom of his signature. From what I have read, the...
I'd recommend getting the pro gun. Depot has them with the cans that thread on. Allows to keep the product good even if you don't use the entire contents.

I had a similar occurrence the other day. I've been slipping the Batt connections on and off. New Batts and alt is running good.
Had a random display while cruising to the shop.
Check those terminals, charge output at multiple locations like coachgeo. At the Batts, at the alt to frame, and...
Wow, I haven't checked mine, but with it like that it might as well not be there. Seems that wouldn't be the original routing.
Maybe an abs, or pvc 90, then to the hose?
Mine has a cap from a aerosol can. Like brake clean. I haven't messed with it but it's still pretty loud. I know I wouldn't want it any louder.
Thanks for the links
I would be surprised at an issue with oil flow from a feed on a block. Regardless of what it flows through to an item. Solid line, or any typical fabricated soft line.
First you would here of starvation due to block oil feed design. Similar to early Ford engines feeding the cam before the...
Might be best to pull it and bring the hard line in with that image. Best that they have the part they are building. You may find the shop has an even better solution than the Grigsby one.
