    BIG CAM 1 OUT, BIG CAM 3 GOING IN

    The stuff in the Jacobs boxes is for hooking up the Jake brakes. Dash switch, brake and clutch switch, throttle switch. If using jakes with Allison trans, a solenoid valve has to be added to keep the torque converter locked up when they are activated. I would not worry about turning the engine...

    BIG CAM 1 OUT, BIG CAM 3 GOING IN

    Look on the accessory drive pulley, the one about 3 o'clock if standing in front. Turn it clockwise to prevent loosening the nut.

    BIG CAM 1 OUT, BIG CAM 3 GOING IN

    A normal size dial indicator works fine. Just stick it to the flex plate or bolt a piece of flat stock to the end of the crankshaft. Use a big socket on the accessory drive pulley nut, turn it slowly! Mike

    6.2 Head Gasket Issue (Video)?

    Common leak point was left rear lower corner and right front lower corner ( many more left than right side leaks for some reason). When I worked for GM, there was a kit to plug the blind coolant passage located in the head. It was a plug, kind of like a freeze plug that required cleaning up the...

    Missing transmission bolts.

    Several of the holes are dowel pins, as I remember two are. The bolt in the corner was left out as it is nearly impossible to install the valve body with it in place. It is too long to remove or install after the fact because of the bulge of the transfer case. When I removed and reinstalled my...

    Glow plug "tip" didn't come out with the body

    Aint that just great! When I was with a GM dealer working on those things, I made an adapter that screwed into the injector hole with an air connector on it and blew shop air into the cylinder. Then I drilled as much of the old glowplug out as I could get out. Sometimes I would remove the air...

    How does the m1078 4x4 work?

    Having recently been very stuck with mine in the backyard. Without using the mode function, it only spun one rear. Using the mode button, it spun one front and one rear leaving me still stuck. I had already selected first gear before I used the mode button. I really need to get the CTIS working!

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    I probably would have had the same problem, but I manage a large truck fleet. I send them lots of other work to do. They have an old guy (like me), that enjoys working on them. The LMTV has really good access compared to many other applications. They did not have to change the injector, just...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    The work is in progress. The fuel system on the 3116 is a mess. Like 28 steps to running the overhead with about 9,000 dollars in special tools. I will fill in the dollars when they are known. Mike

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    I took my LMTV and the 3116 cat to the local Caterpillar dealer for a new #5 injector. I then had the great pleasure of having the mounting bolts fall out of the alternator. Of course it fell off the engine at 5:00 am.
