    Clunking in drivers dash, foot area or under the floor – M1078A1?

    We have a clunky noise that I am yet to locate on the drivers side. It almost sounds like something is able to slide/swing side to side, though will also clunk over certain terrain variations. We can make it sound while driving down a county road and steering side to side. And it clunks going...

    LMTV FMTV front axle outer seal replacement

    Thank you. We'll be doing the fronts and it helps to see your experience. One question on the rears: I didn't see any RTV in the half moons? Did I miss it? You are definitely cleaner than I am while working–

    Caterpillar 3126B oil cooler problems

    The IFS is the high pressure filter on the HEUI output? Since I haven't kept up on this issue: filtering after the HEUI pump is better than before? or simply the best place to add a secondary filter? Next question is for the time and money, isn't replacing the oil filter housing gasket best...

    Caterpillar 3126B oil cooler problems

    Thank you @Keith Knight, and everyone else for thoughts and questions. While I would prefer not to do this you have pointed out that for some time and a couple hundred dollars this is a maintenance task level project. Where did you find torque specifications and such? I recall having books...

    LMTV Caterpillar Diesel Fuel Additives

    Reviewing the CAT documentation I have located so far states that in North America Low Sulfur Diesel and Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel grades 1 and 2 meet CAT's specifications and to buy from reputable fuel suppliers. The operation manual for your engine has more specific information, (available for...

    I am no machinist, though it struck me the same way. The gouges are running perpendicular to the rotation, not with it. Those didn't happen inside a spinning PTO–

    LMTV 3126B Barometric pressure sensor fault code and location

    Our 3126b originally configured at 275hp does not have the barometric pressure sensor. My casual studies suggest a 330hp 3126b does. The code in our unit showed after flashing the ECM for 330hp. The pressure reading is unchanging. Perhaps we had the code before, though I am pretty sure not...

    LMTV 3126B Barometric pressure sensor fault code and location

    As I recall, if you don't have 15, ECM has a default static barometric pressure. If you recently reprogrammed ECM it is looking for sensor and not finding it, (error code), though still using statice default pressure— I believe the CAT part numbers are one number different—

    Eco Hubs 3.90 or 3.07 for Best Fuel mileage

    When I look at our ECM using Dearborn or CAT ET software our's shows how much fuel used and mileage all time. So, in Bluefire our Average Fuel Economy is only 4.6mpg. I don't wish the reset the lifetime numbers, though not entirely useful. In Bluefire I have tried using the trip distance...

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    I was looking for a photo with the drums off, before I pulled the wheel hub plates though no luck. I am certain when we did the rear axle seals we pulled wheels/tires, drums, then hubs. We didn't pull the EcoHub covers and plates before pulling the drums. Here is a detail of a rear hub off...
