    LMTV Flasher Problems

    Yea you can temporarily connect up a test lamp sampling the flasher output to see if it remains constant. If it does then the problem most likley lies in the column switch…

    LMTV Flasher Problems

    Everything that feeds the flasher goes thru the hazard switch, make sure those connections are good…

    I think that WAS the tip… And I agree with it…:)

    M1078A1 driving me nuts (Very Slowly)

    Here is what a small air leak looks like in the primary fuel system. Your symptoms sound like a fuel restriction, but it could be air also. I have seen restrictions happen 2 ways: I had an old pickup with something dancing around in the fuel tank, it would occasionally find its way to the...

    M1078 (6) 24F Battery wiring.

    Wow, completely missed this thread. It is not 12 and 24, it is 12 out of the middle of 24, as such, the alternator is designed to operate as a balancer, and to deliberately mis-match the battery is an extraordinarily bad thing to do… 12V doesn’t just power accessories and random components, it...

    crank no start

    Let me guess it was one of the 0-12v batts… Drop to two batteries, your alternator will thank you for it. It is way undersized for the monster bank they saddled it with, and it has trouble keeping the batteries charged. This leads to it basically running in an overload condition whenever it is...

    A0 versus A1 defroster ducts

    If you close the gap between the front edge of the plate and the windshield to the right gap so it builds a little presure underneath the plate, the air will spread out along the width of the windshield seeking the lower pressure passage without anything else under the plate… you want the area...

    crank no start

    I wouldn’t bother replacing all of them, that is a waste IMO. Unless they have been abused, they have a very reliable track record and last a VERY long time… They specify 4 types, 12 and 24v, 4 and 5 pin, but you only beed to get the 5 pin versions.

    crank no start

    You can lift a relay out of the socket twist a small copper wire around the coil terminals so they stick out past the relay body and re-insert the relay. With these wires in place you can check the voltage reaching the coil. Relay K2 controls the switched 24V ignition power, which feeds ALL...

    crank no start

    The pulsing starter is probably accompanied by pulsing relays? Relays will react this way to the voltage falling off as you try and pull current thru a bad connection. This was my first LMTV problem, pushed the button and it pulsed at first, then it just went click click click… had a bad...

    Looks like a cruise control, but what is it?

    Yep Allison TPS, very necessary for the TCU to predict shift points and shift smoothly. Out of cal or failed/disconnected and the trans shifts by minimum and maximum RPM which can be kind of harsh:)

    Alternator tensioner pulley replacement for M1078

    Well depending on how far you need to move it, it would go pretty far on fully charged batteries… portable genset and a pair of battery chargers would get you as far as you want to go…. A couple hundred watts of solar in the bed would probably keep you driving all day long…:)

    Alternator tensioner pulley replacement for M1078

    Yea too bad yours self destructed. I suspect if you knocked out the freeze plug on the end you would find 2 snap rings and a off the shelf roller bearing that could be pressed out and replaced… I have rebuilt several idlers over the years it is really easy to do…

    An interesting comment I heard from deep inside Ukriane

    For the same reason snipers have spotters, most AA systems have 2 radars, search and tracking

    Alternator tensioner pulley replacement for M1078

    You are looking for the 24P manual. That has all the system exploded views and individual part numbers. You can get it up in the tech manual section Unfortunately that part does not appear to readily cross to an off the shelf part. The P/N for the pulley is 12420812 if you google that you...

    Alternator tensioner pulley replacement for M1078

    When you search that P/N it shows a spring loaded tensioner for a serpentine belt, so that is not the correct part for a 3116…

    Anyone know the ground pressure for a FMTV?

    Extra switch outputs

    The wiring isn’t bad, it doesn’t like direct sun, but they used reasonably good quality wire and adequate wire gauge. The switch info can be found in the schematic, only 2 are not labeled and I labeled them in this drawing. Now wether they run where you want them for re-purposing is another...
