    Tire suddenly loosing air

    Remove the banjo fitting where the larger CTIS hose connects to the hollow wheel stud. Put the banjo in a plastic bag or rubber glove and seal it to the hose with tape. If the glove inflates like a balloon, it is the CTIS wheel valve leaking. Not uncommon, put a jack stand under the axle and...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Well the leds I am putting on the cab rear bumper and habitat are two level, designed to be running and signal lights. They are surface mount aluminum base with plastic lenses. They make 3 sizes in orange, red, white. There is already ground and running light power to the front cab and door...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    I did some light work also:) Replaced the front bumper lights with LED headlights and driving/fog lights. Both have halo ring DRL and turn signals. Also updated the lower cab and door marker lights and incorporated turn signals into them as well. Have a little more wiring to do(fog light...

    LMTV Shocks Absorbers

    Well you can get a good idea. Measure the difference between the mount bolt centers as it sets, then measure the space between the bump stops And where they contact And subtract that from the mounted length. The unknown is how deep the system can get into the bump stops… I have this info from...

    Custom winch wiring.

    That is correct, the lockup clutch is only engaged in 3rd gear and above(truck in motion), and it stays engaged 100% of the time untill the trans shifts to 2nd. here is the input end of the Allison,3000 series, minus the housing. It shows the input flex plates and the input flange on the...

    Alternate Alternator Selection

    The green bracket in your earlier pics is not a pad mount as the Neihoff alts used on the LMTV are ear/pivot mount alternators... That yellow cat part is a pad mount adapter...

    Where is the CTIS function troubleshooting section in the TM's?

    With supply air connected to PCU, disconnect the line coming out of the PCU what runs down to the dump valves. What comes out of that outlet port on the PCU when you close control and open the supply solenoid(wet tank must be above 85PSI). That output port feeds the dump valves for each axle...

    Best way to remove the suspension squat sensor on the middle axle of M1088 (has braided wire loop on it)

    Yea I think ABS supersedes it. Same on my wife's 4runner, no load proportioner on it, ABS instead… still have one on my same year pickup(non ABS)…

    Alternate Alternator Selection

    Yea its a gimmick… the system has a added box that monitors alternator load(LBCD) and will disconnect the batteries using that disconnect relay, from a running alternator when it is overloaded by the oversized battery bank, and puts the batteries on a “trickle charge” to save the alt from the...

    Alternate Alternator Selection

    Yea that does look like a different mount than the earlier version I showed. Looks like the positioning bracket is under the alt instead of on top of it…

    Alternate Alternator Selection

    It depends on how you care for them. I have a battery on my diesel tractor that has been in service 19 years. My longest auto battery was in a Eclipse, 15 years, my last pickup truck batt did 12…

    Alternate Alternator Selection

    Here are some pics from a facebook group. Basically you cut a notch in the mount to accommodate the rear mount tab. In the first kit that notch is circled in red. The other areas circled in red were done to allow the alt to roll in as far as possible. The person who did this was...

    Alternate Alternator Selection

    You will need to fab a mount or I have see the green mount modified to accept the tabs on a commercial alt, and a top strut added from the top of the alt to the front of the water pump/engine. I will see if I can find you a pic, I saw one just recently.
