CAGING bolt holders... :) I have known some Cajuns who could probably use a bolt holder though, as they really appeared to have a screw loose...:)
There is a metallic oil line between the drivers side of the cylinder head and the back side of the governor. It is looped out like a diving board and it can oscillate, work-harden and break if the truck has a lot of vibration. Most people have been replacing it with a braided -4 hose with -4...
Good question. Yep, there should be no connection between the two. The AC controls it’s own condenser fans and the engine fan control should control itself like it always has.
Now if someone got creative and tried to mix in the fording switch to also disable the condenser fans, they may...
You can also judge a little by looking at the seal. If it had been that loose when the yoke was installed, the seal would have been deformed/destroyed in just a few revolutions...
You cannot judge pinion free-play until the yoke is torqued in place, as it pre-loads the input bearing pack... I think if you throw a yoke and a nut on there and snug it down a little you will find it tightens up considerably...
Up in the tech manuals section under present conflict vehicles, you will find all the A0 manuals, and the operators manual(has a -10 at the end). I would start with the op manual.
as mentioned they have 4 batteries that provide 12 and 24V. You need both 12/24 to run. These vehicles have a...
Cool! I got the impression from one photo that yours was the internal connector type, but nope, it is clearly the sealing tower... Glad you got it apart!
Yep! Does that impact deliver full torque in both directions? The one cheapie AI that I have does not... For the LMTV I got and use a 63:1 torque multiplier(Think it was about $90). 450FT/LB = 7FT/LB on the multiplier hand crank, so no real issue to crank around the hand crank to break them...
There are 3 different types of trans harnesses used. Two of them are like the one shown in the top of this diagram, with a sealing tower that plugs up into the main housing and is held there with a clip. You disconnect the connector, remove the connector nut from it’s bracket, pull the locking...
There are actually 2 dimmers. One is part of the 3 lever switch(lower left lever), then it feeds the rotary dimmer. The rotary dimmer is probably bad. You can bypass it easy enough, just unplug it and put a jumper in the plug to test...
Mine was dead, I haven't replaced it yet and have just...
The bell housing has a vent port on top, passenger side, so it shouldn’t be able to build pressure. I believe it is as you assume for the drain plug. It stays out to let you know if rear main, trans input or torque converter start leaking, and goes in for fording...
lotsa vents:
front...
Yea, if you don’t have a wrecker with work lights, K12 is a pretty obvious candidate for a ignition switched 12V supply relay.
Since it is also already switched up into the auxiliary panel it would also be pretty easy to add a switch and use one of the steering diodes on the ignition line to...
These are the powr-block module components for the power panel used in the A0. These parts would allow you to rebuild/re-configure the A0 panel to suite more customization, such as a 12V ignition switched bus with fused outputs, right in the panel without having to add a separate external...
