I have a pretty good air leak from the cab air suspension bag, passenger side. I was hoping to get her fixed prior to bugging out in her ;). Can anyone give me a line on locating one?

I have heard rumors that you can buy used tires with 80% tread directly from military bases. Is this true? If so, how?

I managed to get her started again. Not sure why. Starter needs replacement. It is cracked badly where she bolts to the tranny housing. I disconnected and pinched off the air supply to the engine fan to get her cooking again. I managed to limp her the last couple hundred miles to my cousins...

That’s what I ended up doing. The fan was working fine until I tried the radIator fan off switch, which worked, but apparently never released. I imagine I need to clean and lube it. Where is the radiator fan override valve?

So, removing the air line will force the fan to engage, right?

Is there an ignition lockout regarding cab tilt?

My fan clutch is not engaging. These require air pressure to engage, correct?

Westbound, interstate 30 Texarkana.

I have both. I just lack knowledge of the vehicle.

somehow, I got her started. Not really sure what I did. I found a really big crack in my starter, and I’m definitely going to need to replace her. I checked wire connections, tried to hotwire it, and did a lot of head scratching. Then I touched the starter and she fired up.

Yes. Sorry for the lack of clarification.

I shut the girl down to investigate why she was running hot (fan wasn’t engaging). I lifted the cab to inspect the fan clutch air line, then lowered it to fire her up and build up some air pressure. Now, when I try to start her up, the starter is not even trying to engage. I have DC power, but...

Next issue: the engine fan is not engaging, and she’s running a bit hot. Is there any way to override the air clutch?

This I did. And I capped the air lines going to the chamber. Got me home. Thanks.

I just find one of the rear brake chambers leaking air pretty heavily. I’ll replace and evaluate.

Hi all. First post here. I’m limping my newly acquired ‘97 M1078 from Michigan to Dallas, TX. My mechanical background: Back in the day, I was a diesel mechanic on semi’s and construction heavy equipment. When I inspected her and decided to buy from an individual (in Michigan), she seemed...
