I have a 2003 LMTV with a Caterpillar 3126. When I begin slowing down or almost come to a complete stop the air brake engages (jerking - grabbing). I believe its a feature to help
stop when pulling a heavy load.
Is there an adjustment anywhere so that it won't do it.
Having trouble with installing newer tires on my LMTV. I have the older steel 2 piece rims with CTIS fitting. Can't get them to stop leaking. Any ideas?
I need to take the door panel off my 2003 LMTV since my window will not move up and down. I can get everything off but the window crank. It seems to have a black plastic cover but don't want to break it if it's not meant to come off. Any tricks.
Thank you for your help. Once I replace the seal is there a spot to fill the fluid back up. Did you use ATF transmission fluid? If not, what would you recommend?
I was manually pumping up my cab and the seal from the cab lock blew out. Any advice on how to replace it? Does it run off the same hydraulic fluid as the steering system?
Thanks
I am looking to replace the plastic grill that I have. There was a member advertising custom LMTV grills. Does anyone have contact info for him.
Thanks
I may be referring to the steering pump incorrectly. I think the leak is coming from the gear box connected to the steering control arm (Drivers side front - tucked behind front bumper). I also have a worn bushing on the control arm where it attaches to the gear box.
Does anyone know where I...

Thanks for your concern.
Need a power steering pump/hydraulic pump for a LMTV
I sent a post out a couple weeks about getting a steering pump. Does anyone have one for sale. Or do they offer a rebuild kit?
Thanks
My truck would spin over but I could not get it to start. Turns out the Heui pump on the 3126 CAT in my truck was bad. It has to reach a certain PSI in order to start.
Superman - you have always been a big help. I think I found two on ebay with the number you provided. It looks like they are advertised under "power steering pump M1080". Will you take a look and see if you think
its the correct one. Thanks for your time.
