    FMTV steel grilles

    Maybe but they are big bucks. They are still in production and could possibly be ordered. The metal one is a lot nicer than the previous versions. The stiff fiberglass ones aren't bad but the really early flimsy ones are just junk.

    M1078 100amp alternator charging issue

    I remember way back in the day doing electronics upgrades in AAVs. There were guys from another unit rotated to our unit they knew what they were doing already and hooked the positive and negative both to 24 volts. Vaporized the negative connector pin on the unit they were using for testing...

    M1078 100amp alternator charging issue

    Make sure the 12 and 24 volt are on correctly. Something is causing the field not to flash. And verify output voltage with a digital meter. I have seen plenty of bad dash gauges.

    M1078 100amp alternator charging issue

    Are you sure? Nothing on either regulator lead. Make sure you have 12 and 24 volts from the batteries at the two alterna to main terminals before you run the truck. Once the truck is running out 24 volts to the regulator positive.

    M1078 100amp alternator charging issue

    Disconnect the wire that's originally there it may be shorted. Run a test wire from the 24 volt post to the regulator post. Make sure no other wires are on the regulator post at the time.

    The metal one is a lot nicer. The older style is no longer being made.

    M1078 100amp alternator charging issue

    The field is not flashing you need 24 volts at the regulator positive lead for the alternator to make power. Go inside the cab to the power panel put a bolt into the 24v post left side of the panel and run a temporary wire to the regulator positive connection its the forward one and its red.

    GOV Planet Tax issues

    The site managers are usually good with pickup scheduling I have gone past the date several times and have never been charged storage. As a business owner I understand their tax policy. I also understand your frustration but if I was in their position I would collect the tax too.

    Re: Air pressure on the brakes of an M1081!

    No air to them with the knob off. Air is prob leaking elsewhere or the control is bad.

    Re: Air pressure on the brakes of an M1081!

    Dont pin the airbag. Just turn them off. I dont usually drive with the air ride on it dosnt make a huge difference. I have new and used ones.

    Re: Air pressure on the brakes of an M1081!

    Easy way to test the dryer is to bypass it temporarily. Just connect the in and out air lines together. There are check valves behind the air tanks if one tank does not seem to fill up you can take them apart and check them. The unloader has lubricant in it which dries out and turns into hard...

    LMTV fan runs frequently

    It does sound correct for highway use. That engine makes alot of heat at 57mph you are around 2500rpms. I would still flush the coolant and I have found trucks with partially clogged radiators just from dirt and debris picked up over time. If you can get in there you can spray a hose thru the...
