    Working on the M1078 LMTV

    I run the truck with the cab open and drain the air tanks to test the fan clutch it will engage when the air drains down and close the tanks and watch it disengage. Dosnt test the sender and solenoid unfortunately though.

    Allison 3500sp trans wiring

    I have the trans to cab harness for either control. It comes down out of the drivers side cab hump along the drivers side frame rail, a branch off goes to the throttle position sensor and then over the trans to the passenger side where it meets the pigtail that comes off the trans. In the cab...

    LMTV arrived

    Email me a list of all the parts you want. Will atpawnking dotcom. If you don't know what's missing then large clear pics of the area will help. Most of your pics are close ups you need to take 2 steps back.

    LMTV arrived

    That's engine oil fill circled. Trans fill and dipstick is a bit smaller. You need to check and see if the engine is good before you go crazy getting into the truck. I have all the parts you will need. That truck could rapidly become a money pit.

    LMTV arrived

    Anything is possible. Clean looking truck though. Trans faults are usually harness or water somewhere it shouldn't be related.

    I can ask around see if someone has the wrecker repair manual.

    LMTV arrived

    Hard to tell from your pics. Is the trans still against the engine or is there a gap? Are a few bolts still in? Before I get crazy into a truck I want to make sure the engine runs. You can jump the fuel solenoid and with 24v at the starter jump the solenoid and crank it. If the fuel lines are...

    LMTV arrived

    What transmission bolts? Just on the bottom or other bolts missing. Post large clear pics you can add in red arrows or something where the missing bolts are. Above the air box cable is probably for an accessory you don't need I wouldn't worry about that. I have the trans dipstick. Is the engine...

    M1078 vs 2 post lift?

    If your voltage is low that could cause speedo and trans related issues.

    M1078 vs 2 post lift?

    The truck weights around 16k. I can lift either end with my skytrak.

    M1088 tractor air at spring brakes released with parking brake engaged

    Check valve behind bumper gunked open. 2 of the 3 check valves under the drivers area had gunk in them. Brakes work as intended. Learning experience. And the cause of all these issues is:

    Frame Rail FMTV VIN number

    It came from a private seller I think.

    Frame Rail FMTV VIN number

    Will's title service can get it reg in your name like the title services do. It wouldnt be cheap it would have to be done as a truck for non commercial use but still by phys weight.

    M1088 tractor air at spring brakes released with parking brake engaged

    See I knew there was a reason I posted this odd stuff that always seems to happen to me. I was looking into it I think one of the 3 check valves under the drivers seat has to do with the emergency air side. And some ps magazine reference to idiots like me plugging gladhands to stop leaks causing...

    M1088 tractor air at spring brakes released with parking brake engaged

    With the tank empty there's no air to release the springs so it's parked. So maybe by temporarily blocking off the fron gladhand I created my own problem. But the system shouldn't release the brakes with emergency air input. That didn't make sense. The check valve is there to protect air in the...

    M1088 tractor air at spring brakes released with parking brake engaged

    I replaced it off a parts truck but I know the parking brakes had worked on that truck. I opened up the original valve it did seem a bit stuck but freed up easily. I can swap that one back in tommorrow.

    M1088 tractor air at spring brakes released with parking brake engaged

    Yes the spring brakes are released regardless of dash valve position. Treadle valve functions as intended and there is no tm troubleshooting left for this.

    The washer fluid tank comes out you have to twist it just right. No need to remove the cover.
