Episode #3.
Following are a series of photos from the weekends 'surgery'. The first is the non-op unit on the bench clearly showing its Keysor and Borg-Warner markings..
Here, we have the unit prepped for disassembly using two 3/8" bolts per the video. Following shows the progression to...
Fan Clutch, Episode #2.
Fan Clutch, Episode #2.
Since last week, I ordered a fan clutch from a fellow member.
Meanwhile, to further my fan clutch education, I paid a visit to a valuable online resource on all things 'Fan Clutch' at KitMasters.com. Their website referred me to a local...
I went with Hella direct replacement housings with 55W Halogen bulbs. Plenty bright enough for 56 mph, however.. :not worthy:
If anyone is interested, check out Cyclops Adventure Sport. (http://www.cyclopsadventuresports.com/). They produce LED replacement bulbs. I have used with great success...
My UPS guy brought a little box of joy yesterday. So now I will pull the panel and replace the leaky valve.
If anyone is interested in step-by-step photos, just let me know. Should be fairly easy. . Well, at least easier that the upcoming Fan Clutch replacement..:clinto:

Thanks CoachGeo for the additional links. When doing my 'search' I could not find anything applicable to my particular problem. After removing and cleaning the electro-air valve (easy) we moved on to the actual clutch itself. Thanks to fellow inmate lmtv722 for the deal on a slightly used...
This is simply being posted in the hopes that in the future another member may benefit from what I have learned.
Oh, and yes. I did my searches before posting..:mrgreen:
We spent time yesterday diagnosing the issue with the fan clutch on my 1994 M-1078.
With the engine stopped, the fan freely...
Thank you Tennmogger. Its easy to simply dismiss posts by saying, "Go do a search", like I haven't done that already? At this point, I'll simply pull the offending valve and head to the parts house for a replacement. In my 'searching' process, I have found no useful information on the web or...
Gents,
Can anyone verify that the correct Donaldson PN# for the M1078's Air Filter Element is P527750.
I'm looking to replace mine, and a search was inconclusive and Flea-Bay is a bid dodgy. Thanks in advance!

Thanks, After reading the applicable threads, I have ordered a replacement/spare. Its getting hot in Nevada and I'm taking no chances.. Will report back here when resolved.

My fan clutch was working fine, now it appears to be non-op.
If I'm following these threads correctly, when the truck is shut down and air has bled off, the fan should not rotate freely? If I crawl under and push on the fanwhen the truck has been sitting, the fan turns freely.
So, when first...
I bought my LMTV from a private party that had been running it on two starter batteries.
I am looking to return it to a somewhat original set up with 4.
What size/group/type sould I look for?

Correction.. Mea Culpa..
I just had a weird experience with my LMTV and the Nevada DMV, this may help others.
Recently I received a letter from DMV in Nevada that my registration was being suspended due to no coverage in force. I called my company and asked what the heck.....
Turns out that...
