    Problem with cab air ride ?

    Right side of the air tanks is a pressure protection valve that feeds the cab air level system. The air hyd functions are fed from a different air source. Check make sure the ppv is opening.

    Is Grigsby Trucks Someone Here?

    They made an interface box. It goes between the controller and harness. You can see they are programming a newer gen controller not the one on the truck itself. The Dana software can be downloaded for free.

    Locker owner opinions?

    I like it. I dont really feel it too much when driving around on the road. I think the truck being awd helps. I have not had a chance to go offroading with it since there really isnt anywhere near me that I wouldnt end up stuck between two trees.

    FMTV High Speed Gears

    You take the pumpkins out and freight them on a pallet to MTP they do the swap and then you freight them back and install them. Would be easier if you can get the gear set and have a local shop do the entire swap though.

    Steering pump leaking

    The manual does not show a breakdown of the pump. But it does look like the pump can be disassembled. Where is it leaking from?

    difference in chassis MTV and LMTV.. can you swap them?

    So you mean strip everything off the frame. So all you have left is the bare frame? And then have a second truck next to it that you stripped down the same way. And put all the stuff from the first truck on the second trucks frame? I would loose track of parts. Just wouldn’t work out for me.

    starter problem

    A lot of these starters have been in service for many years and I think it is a combination of components that just wear out over the course of 15-20 years. I’m sure the fridgid cold doesn’t help. If the starter had a grease fitting or something like that, to allow for moving parts to be kept...

    starter problem

    I have replaced alot of the lmtv starters. The type with thermal protection is the older style I believe. I never had any luck repairing a starter I always replace them. I think after so many years of use they just wear out. The original one is expensive there are some aftermarket ones out there...

    If the trans control isnt happy it will prevent crank. Does it have new batteries and good clean batt connections?

    1078 LMTV A0 windshield wiper

    You can take the arms off and put them back on in the rest position. If that won’t work you need to get into the dash and adjust the operating mechanism. Maybe it slipped somehow. The repair tm shows how to position it properly in the section for its replacement.
