    M-1078 Door Handles/ Interesting Topic?

    IMHO best choice (which was not available when the above folks were doing their handle fixes)..... is our member here that makes Eco Hubs. He now make/sells machined replacement parts for the two parts that make up 99% of the handle failures. Least costly when you come down to it as well.

    FMTV 3126 Engine options

    Adept Ape (a CAT mechanic Youtuber) just had similar.... on a rebuilt engine. Long story short he dropped oil pan and low and behold the oil pick up tube was not tight to the base of where it attaches (to pump I assume)... allowed air in, would aerate oil etc. . Buttoned it up and all good.

    Anyone have picture of properly mounted air brake load sensor valve on an m1088?

    @Ronmar just posted a picture from birds eye that might help conceptually. Its I think a 1079 though. Granted I think you got this figuredd out now and moved on. Not sure from any of these pics where the cable from the arm attaches above to the bottom of x (x=bed, box, etc) though not sure...

    Lithium compatible battrery isolator /charge controller 24v/48v

    looking closer... apparently there is more to this that just buzzword. It has a place on it to plug Lithium battery BMS up to it. My guess is when Lithium bank is full the BMS triggers the relay to NOT have the relay click over to send any voltage down that lithium charge terminal.

    I might be a little crazy – 4,000 mile M1079 recovery Illinois to Alaska

    Is the black part in above pic what you had real hard time keeping aligned to fit the outer rim bead rings on?

    Strange starter behavour

    spot was cleaned/sanded to bare metal... ground attached shows good contact when tested. Will drill when can get back to it. Cleaned all connections again other day while waiting on parts. Few more days on Jeep parts to wait. Think Ill mess with resurrecting motorcycle since nothing more...

    M1010 Convoy Truck

    for future reference.. why image sideways?? Devices take pics only in one orientation.... device (phone, tablet etc.) saves image via whatever standard / type your settings are. (jpeg, png, what quality etc.. etc. ) - BUTT!! it tags a small code file to it . That code tells "devices"...

    I might be a little crazy – 4,000 mile M1079 recovery Illinois to Alaska

    thank @Ronmar & @GeneralDisorder . Glad got that clarified... thought had read it in here somewhere you could .... hadn't done it,.... nor planned too... but had it stuffed in my head as a possible work around if ever needed. Will now erase that file out of my grey matter hard drive.

    I might be a little crazy – 4,000 mile M1079 recovery Illinois to Alaska

    just to clarify... am I right thinking; you can put 12v relay in 24v socket, if you get as close to doubling the specs of the 12v one as you can ?

    LMTV Passenger Seats

    Facebook marketplace and craigslist. As well as Facebook groups, Ambulance discussion boards etc.... looked for a year though. Agree it is a lot of work if you go into it with plans of gutting it down to bare walls and starting over... No way would do that. Why remove shelves and storage...

    Strange starter behavour

    yep that is pretty much what we did beyond all new wires (which was to be next)... nothing changed so far. Cleaned every place cleanable yet drop is still observed from batts to PDP. Cleaned and wiggled everything ..... no changes. added ground... no changes I canceled my last ever...

    we bypassed the batteries to take them out of the equation by using a jump pack for all testing.

    Strange starter behavour

    yes if I recall right. we saw it everywhere from just after battery all the way forward. Hence why bypassed the PPD. Tag Polarity Protection

    LMTV Passenger Seats

    lack of height issues is a fallacy many fall for. Loww height is only in first one or two of the three Classes of Ambo's if I recall right. Not that hard to work around if one wanted too though.. (rolling stools/chair) . Have a nice awning room and outdoor cook setup to go under it...
