interesting. With that quality work and your user name..... sounds like you are an engineer so went about it with a lot of thought.
Still skeptical though.... How small is the FMTV ring , pinion, thus pumpkin size, compared to say the axles in a Kodiak with same engine and Allison?
Both rear axles are active all the time.... does not matter if locked or unlocked. How they act is controlled by the locker.
the locker is not in one of the axle diffs. it is inside the between axles diff. (inside the Power Divider Box- the big chunk tied to middle alxe) That diff allows for...
or keep a spare trans computer and harness.... spare alternar, and other parts in faraday boxes (Galvanized trash cans with aluminum tape around seam of lid? )
what General says in https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/was-there-a-final-correct-answer-on-the-lm-fmtvs-being-emp-proof.213478/post-2498716
also one of the early EMP absorbing devices on the A0's ... or was it the A1.... everyone unplugged cause it caused issues. I forget the name of...
with a longer arm that folds in middle or so...... you could prior to lower... swing it all way out to the side... pull pins.. allowing hinge to knock the arm 90 degree that tires hangs from.... resulting in tire now sitting about exacly over the rear axle. As you finish lowering it...

Did more research... there is discussion in here that as I understand it none of those 3 work if there is not enough pressure in the wet tank. Common issue it seems. Folk have to turn the valve on the air compressor up a little more so the tank can get to 120lb? That pressure is when the...
ahhhhhh...... so your referring the ones "under the cover of CITS's PCU manifold" found under the kick panel...... as mentioned in below thread
https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/diagnosing-ctis-m1078.200074/post-2330655
would this hold any gear from shifting up too? aka...... usable as manual button to access lock up like a Pacbrake programing would do automatically if TCU was programed for such?
under kick panel is the solenoid for the engine cooling fan and the solenoid for the "in between" rear axle locker if you have the 6x6.
Can you shoot a pic of the three your referencing?
