    So the MTVR adventure begins

    I did, it's in the zip file a few posts up. I just copied the screenshots so people without cat et could easily see

    So the MTVR adventure begins

    Not sure how helpful it will be - maybe if someone needs to program an ECM after a failure.

    New Owner - 2001 MK25

    Sorry you weren't able to unload! No idea why it wouldn't roll with air applied to the red front gladhand....that will release the brakes. (Although won't be controlled). Not sure why the fittings for the tank fittings didn't work, look like the very standard 1/4 NPT size I did see a recent...

    So the MTVR adventure begins

    Was doing a little investigation and found out when my truck had its ECM replaced, it got the new flash file that avoids the issue of loosing configuration settings when the internal battery dies. Also seems like I got the "armored" calibration....whatever that means.

    From fire truck to MTV

    A few weeks ago, I got a truck for the next build. Had a good time with the FMTV, figured I'd make another camper conversion, this time at a slower pace. It's a MTVR, mk23. Cat C12, 28klbs unloaded, 30klb payload, 6x6 with differential lockers, independent suspension, 16r20 tires, CTIS, 14ft...

    From fire truck to MTV

    Took a little weekend trip to a nearby RV park. Only one other person there. Lots of trails and areas to explore. Shoveled off the pond to make the kids a hocky rink - they spent hours out there. Truck did great, I did plug in to 120V as the wife likes the relaxation of not having to worry...

    Almost positive the 6x6 has the 4 actuator version too, unfortunately.

    What have you done to your MTVR today?

    Nice! First thing I noticed in the snow compared to the MTV is the ATC. MTV doesn't have it so I have to lock differentials. MTVR detected the spin and clamped the brake on that wheel (or axle) and pulled though with no intervention. How available are the front and rear turret legs?

    So the MTVR adventure begins

    Well, I apparently fixed the corrosion issue on the relay. Ether system functional again.

    So the MTVR adventure begins

    My ether system wasn't working, talked to the very helpful people at kbi and ordered a new system. My solenoid was stuck and had no movement when voltage was applied. I had the same issue on my FMTV. The relay was also in bad shape so got a new one. New parts arrived but didn't see the ether...

    Ether system function

    Based on the information in the TMs, my ether cylinder should be firing, but it isn't. Temp is 20F, truck is cold soaked and it was 7F last night. Verified ether solenoid works fine. Verified working ether relay. Verified relay solenoid has electrical connection with ECM (can see a slight...

    M1078 A1 transfer case

    I gave them the serial of my trans and they pulled up the new bearing and I asked for the gasket and they quickly put that in the order as well.

    So the MTVR adventure begins

    New ether setup arrived today. Kbi were very helpful and the engineer said this is the replacement part number. Recommend a new blockor assembly (that 90 fitting/filter/orifice) on the bottom)

    When you talk to Allison, they can order if off your description.

    I'd take that as a good sign you computer is working! Hopefully not just a wiring issue.

    Testing Cat 3116 injectors

    C12 uses what's called "unit injectors" and are cam driven. Do you know if those work the same way? C12s do have an electrical plug though

    Testing Cat 3116 injectors

    I mean, it's a diesel...smoke when cold is expected. I'd be careful listening to "someone" and going down a rabbit hole. My C7 smokes when cold and clears up eventually, typically starts around freezing and gets worse the colder it is.
