    Missing fuses in pod 4, HAL

    The object of the msd is the interactive diagnostic manuals on it. Look for a fmtv icon.

    Missing fuses in pod 4, HAL

    You have the msd. Look at the manual. I don’t have any experience with the c7 trucks. Only 3126 a1 and the power panel is different.

    Need some help with a direction to go with charging system ?

    I have seen shorts in the dash cause 24 volts to get onto the 12 volt circuit.

    Need some help with a direction to go with charging system ?

    Maybe issue with the alternator itself. Maybe follow the niehoff troubleshooting guide. It will have you take some measurements on the alt. See what the results are.

    Need some help with a direction to go with charging system ?

    You can bypass the polarity box. It is there to protect against the batteries being installed backwards. You can check the ground from the frame to cab its behind the grill on the passenger side. Check the alternator to regulator connection. Have seen corrosion there before. Is there anything...

    Need some help with a direction to go with charging system ?

    24v green with 14v red light is usually an over charge indicator. Could be a number of things. I would start by cleaning every contact and ground on the alt and on the batts. Take a look at the polarity box under the spare tire. Its only there to prevent reverse polarity and you get about 1/3 of...

    Well, I done did it. Won a m1078. Need to get it home... In Wahington - any suggesti

    I would try uship. Or start calling around heavy wrecker companies in your area or the area where the truck is. Even the 4x4 is around 16k lbs so you need someone familiar with heavy trucks. It can be towed with a heavy wrecker just have to pull the driveshaft on the axle that’s on the ground.

    It happens with random haulers. Such is life. Post it up on uship see what happens. How far is it from you? Short distances you can sometime hire a local heavy wrecker company.

    M1078A1 - Crank no start

    The first gen trucks have mechanical engines. A1 are electronic. Overall the cat engine electronics is reliable and road proven. These engines are in all types of heavy equipment, semi trucks, RV’s, generators and more. Strange things do seem to happen with military trucks though. This truck...

    How many lockers to use for a 6WD M1088?

    You really don’t feel the locker in the 4x4 when driving on the road. Maybe because the truck is awd. Or it’s just so heavy.

    I have 2003s that came with the fins style. The purest takes a rn60z cartridge.

    New M1089 FMTV owner

    Which dryer do you have? Is it the tube with fins or the purest style? The purest ones you replace the cartridge it’s under a black metal cover on top held with 4 bolts. If it’s the tube with fins replace the whole thing with a purest style one.

    GL Lost Surplus Contract

    I’m not saying they will go under. Just saying that looks can be deceiving. I don’t think they are making as much on this stuff as everyone thinks. I think they have big overhead and they give the gov a good part of the take.

    NEED HELP with LMTV M1078, Right Rear wheel stuck after parking brake applied

    They all have notches at the end. Dosnt take much to pop them free with a big screwdriver. You can take off the shock absorber to get to the front cans. I don’t think you need to though. I have freed up many stuck pads with my method.

    GL Lost Surplus Contract

    One of the GP reps I just spoke to, that covers multiple smaller sites, told me his per site days were recently cut down to less. Presumably to save GP money. GP is good at selling the rolling stock. They give the gov the majority of the profit though. And a big operation like that has big...
