Yea bad controller or keyboard. What pressure are the tires at now. I dont recall from when I gutted mine wether the keyboard is replaceable. You can unscrew the keyboard cover from the top and access the keyboard and see if it has a connection that is accessable. I would look at that before...
Omni glass and paint in oshkosh WI. for the door glass.
Good luck with latch hardware. I went with trimark 2stage latches from a hotrod supply house and toyota tacoma/4runner handles…
Only the bypass check is accessible, the other 2 for the bulb are not. I did some 3116 fuel system videos over on Youtube. This first one covers how to check primer function. The second one is a system overview. One of my other vids shows what a fuel system air leak looks like using a...
There is a flapper type bypass check valve on the bottom of the filter housing. When running fuel uses this flapper to bypass the primer bulb as it couldn't handle all that flow. The primer itself has its own smaller internal check valves, but both would have to fail to cause drain back…
The...
Yea the OEM spring loaded breakaway brackets are terrible. I was thinking about building my own brackets/arms with a sealed detent pivot like is found on many pickup mirrors…. There is also a door mount point above the window that could be used for a strut, or even a cylinder to fold them...
There are exploded views of both fan assemblies in the A0 24P manual available here in the TM section(uploaded by ptracy). The new model shows a complete internal breakdown of the clutch assembly parts.
The air leaking for a bit then stopping would agree with the leak draining the wet tank to...
You first need to determine which clutch/fan you have. I am not sure what year they shifted fan/clutch models, but I don’t believe the old model has a rebuild kit available.
you can either use your fingers, or an inspection mirror.
Old model: The fan is attached to the clutch/hub with Allen...
Yep stock goodyear MVTs@55PSI, no weight on the back either(cab and chassis). This was basically offroad on my property thru snowbanks from my own snowplowing. 12-16” average depth and 30” snowbanks it went thru like they weren't even there. Havnt done any snowy highway with it yet
Ok, forgot if this is an A0 or A1, but the fording sw, solenoid and fan control work the same. With the fording sw in the on/fan disengged position, when you turn on the ignition sw you should have 24v at the fan solenoid valve connector(power on = fan off). If you plug in the solenoid to that...
Not on the fairlead, on the snatch block that turns the line pull around to the front fairlead. It makes it a 2:1 pull, so that anchor point will see 40k when you pull 20K on the front+ the 20k on the winch. Many of the Foers setups use a custom snatch block that nests in the rear fairlead, so...
Yep, the turnaround structure and how it interfaces with the frame needs to be considered very carefully as that point will see the greatest force. The rear roller feed and support structure on the LMTV will not support this without some more support structure added.
ok, you shouldn’t hear any air release until you turn OFF the main switch.
The wet tank needs to be over 85PSI or you won’t get any air to the solenoid. Unless you are using the brakes the pri/sec tanks can set at 120 all day long with the wet tank empty. Without a gauge, the only way to know...
Yea I would not necessarily use the land of milspec as an example to follow… the 4 battery bank paired with a 100A alternator on the LMTV is a good example:)
