The pressure protective valve right side of tank feeds the cab air springs. The switch under it is ctis pressure switch. Governor is on compressor. Remove a tank drain screw in a gage so you can see what your actual pressure is. Maybe you are over pressure and the safety is dumping.
The hook has to be removable. You can take one of the rollers off and pull the line back to the winch then run it out the rear of the truck and winch from the back also.
The trans cooler under the front of the truck? If you had coolant mixed in your oil you would usually know it. The trans oil would start looking like choco milk. And chances are you would have some oil in your cooling system. This is bad for your trans but I dont see how it would cause a leak...
The sure power converter work very well and are very reliable. I always use a big breaker off the main 24v lead and use a large contactor relay to switch it with the truck ignition. If you want to do small stuff like cell phone charger you can just tap between the batts for that its such a low...
I have a mil air conditioner with big heater coil I use to load test. The heater runs the gen at around 85%, 55% for the ac running. A nice 2 hour run on heat usually blows out any built up carbon.
I believe the aluminum housing ones use different components than the plastic. Other than the bulbs being 12v the front signal lights do not have to be lmtv specific to work. It's a standard front blinker. The m939 and humvee use 24v bulbs.
Stay away from mud pits it dosnt usually work out. Jeep trails are sometimes narrow and m1078 is not. Around here you would end up stuck between 2 trees. If an area is in question, walk it and evaluate before you drive thru it. Keep another one around to pull you out. And make us a good video.
Water gets in around the lights over the windshield and drips onto the keypad. Over years it works its way in and causes problems. I had one truck would put itself into drive.
I make sealed ones that plug in easy. Just drill the hole a bit larger. If you get your own it has to be one made for Diesel engine has to have run power when cranking or the fuel solenoid will not actuate when you crank.
Nice truck. I can see why they leave the wipers off for the pics at least. Looks better without them. Sealing well is a plus for a humvee they are generally drafty.
Fill all your tires up with the truck off. Take off the banjo bolt and put plastic bag scrunched down over the banjo/hose end. Rubber band down right. If the bag expands you have air leaking thru your wheel valves and they need to be replaced. Check this first and then we can go from there.
