    FMTV High Speed Gears

    Do you mind sharing where you picked them up from and know if more are available. I haven’t found any reasonable close. Thanks.

    FMTV Highway Speed

    Coachgeo, that option also seems doable, what is your plan for spring perches? It looks like they could easily be fabed using steel. Do you plan to weld them to the housing? I would probably not weld to the housing since its cast iron and would rather sandwich the housing with the spring...

    FMTV Highway Speed

    Coachgeo, Scottmandu, Thank you for both of your replies. I didn't think about the R/L offset. I just looked at Meritors website and found some info, It looks like the newer A1 RR axle has the chunk offset 1.17" to the drivers side vs the original A0 RR axle was offset 6.67" to the drivers...

    FMTV Highway Speed

    Coachgeo, Are you planning to swap the entire 6x6 intermediate axle into your truck or can just the center section be used? What else needs changed for the swap (driveshaft, exhaust....)? Thanks, Mike

    Is the CTIS angle valve serviceable

    According to Dana’s website the part is available and in stock. I purchased mine at the local Truck Pro in Columbus. I gave them the part number and they ordered them in.

    Is the CTIS angle valve serviceable

    The Dana part number for the regular elbow is 673240, a truck part store should be able to order them for you.

    m818 front cable winch to Synthetic conversion?

    Amsteel Blue is a very good synthetic rope used to replace steel cable in winches. The rope is made of Dyneema which in the same size as steel generally has a much higher breaking strength. I am in the process of replacing the steel cable on a 10k winch I have.

    valve adjustment on CAT 3116

    I have the MRC Carpenter set you show pictured and have set both the valve lash and fuel injectors. It’s not hard following their procedure which is different than what is used for the Caterpillar tools. There is a video on their website. Regarding the timing bolt it is not required however it...

    Connected my MEP-803A the proper way as my home standby generator... Install pics...

    Hard Head, I thought for a single phase ciircuit condition B of the below table applies since there are only 2 current carring conductors and the neutral did not need counted based on some sources I have read. I have attached a picture of one, is my understanding correct?

    Different fans for 3116?

    The new fan is definetly improved, the hub is now steel vs the old one was aluminum. Also if I remember correctly it doesn't use the rubber bushing at the center. I am not certain that the old one will not mount, however I would definetly put the upgraded fan on since others have had failures.

    LMTV Air Conditioner

    I used a 16x21 universal parallel flow condenser and so far seems to be working fine. A 20 x20 or 21x21 probably would fit between the intercooler and radiator and i would go that route next time since the cost is similar and generally bigger is better. The advice I received from vintage air and...

    Checking the FMTV fan system

    Basically yes. The plunger seals on both ends depending on if voltage is applied or not. When voltage is applied the plunger pulls back and seals the vent, when voltage is disconnected the plunger prevents air from going to the clutch.

    Checking the FMTV fan system

    The vent is located on the bottom center of the solenoid as it sits in the truck since its mounted upside down.

    Seriously looking at lmtv need input please

    I don't think you would be able to get the puller legs around the backside of the gear without sliding the cam out some. Also i doubt the cam would stay in the correct position to get the gear timing marks realigned with the push rod force on the lobes, I picture as soon as the gear is pulled...
