    LMTV M1078 Transmission Fluid Change To ATF Write Up

    Quarts bottles are not so bad, easy to carry up and fill the spout. At least it is not like the old days where you had to bring a dull can opener and pop open every can. I had to fill a 10 gallon hydraulic tank with skydrol 1 quart steel cans via a hand pump. when I filled my transmission from...

    2004 M1083A1 Motor Oil in Coolant/ Lots

    the spots I can think of where oil and coolant can mix is the engine oil cooler, head gasket, transmission heat exchanger… maybe air compressor. Past reports of mixing was usually from the transmission heat exchanger but it was usually coolant in the transmission.

    FMTV 3126 Engine options

    5w-40 is a good range, looks like from -30 to 122F, cat has a good chart for the temps to run. I end up running 15w-40 in my 3126. I wonder if the HUEI system puts more stain on the oil pump? My oil pressure seems to be around 20-30 at temp at idle, and about 60-70 in cruise. I have the 6pz just...

    Possible bad alternator

    it is common to have potting on ground and bonding straps in the aviation world, usually the potting you use is a special type of RTV that is less corrosive, what the potting does best is to hold the water and corrosion in until the connection fails, usually intermittently and at the worst times...

    Severe wheel hop

    On my truck the wheel vibe is at 55 mph, it will dampen out at 60, then at 65-70 the vibes will get significantly worse. When doing turns the vibes will get better or worse depending if the vibes amplify or cancel each other. I have done a datum test where I hang a reference and spin the tire on...

    LMTV (M1079) STOPS RUNNING WHILE DRIVING

    What are the symptoms of the shutdown? Does the truck shut off as if you shut down the master switch? Does the electrical power stay on after the shut down? You need to narrow down your problem to an electrical, mechanical, hydraulic problem or a combination of the three. Typical hot coolant...

    From fire truck to MTV

The calibration or adaptation seems to not have a kickdown. When the throttle is...

    FMTV 3126 Engine options

    If you need any tech data I use TM 9-2320-312-24-2, it has been a good reference. I used it for my overhead valve adjustment and wiring in my cruise control, and diagnosing my fuel feed issue.

    FMTV 3126 Engine options

    The data plate is good info to determine if the crank was machined down and the bearings are oversized. The problem with oversized is that it removes a possible repair in the future if the crank has to be machined again. Most likely when it was overhauled, the crank was found to have a pit or...

    From fire truck to MTV

    your install of the heater looks nice, I installed mine in a box near the top of the camper. The head/suction pressure for the fuel was to high so I used a faucet lift pump off the troop heater to lift up to a fuel filter module and took the fuel off the return via a T fitting, for some reason...

    If you purchased any auto fuses for your FMTV on AMAZON, you better watch this fire safety warning!

    https://caraxfuse.com/specs, this is the brand I get, I have tripped them a few times, all seem to fail at reasonable levels. It looks like the company is based in Florida. They even light up when tripped.

    LMTV Allison Stall Test issues

    looks like a C1 and C5 for range 1 and C1 and C4 for range 2, I would also imagine he would get a failed ratio test code. There are codes for ones below lockup, do you think the TC stall test outside of limits would cause a ratio test failure.
