    Starter issue next

    So starter motor run without engagement of flywheel ring gear? I would pull it and clean and inspect. This could be bad/contaminated(hard)grease, or no grease where it should be greased, or something else that is worn in the assembly.

    FMTV Highway Speed

    Reassess what? There may be other subtle differences in the gearbox programming, but I think the biggest difference between the 3060 and 3070 is how that P6 clutch is applied to the main gearbox to get a 7th speed... In the end the math doesn't lie... The 1.2:1 gear reduction in the transfer...

    FMTV Highway Speed

    I was not feeling well on friday so I dug into the workings of the transmission and transfer case because I didnt understand how the parts in the exploded views could make that low first gear. The upshot of this is I Dont think a gearchange between a 3060 and 3070 Is a possibility to increase...

    First ride in truck today- Did not turn out good

    Well you would need a viscometer to accurately check for lube oil dilution, but sometimes your nose can give you a good clue about diesel in the oil. Since it was your first drive, it could be that you finally got it warm enough to drive out moisture in the oil, or it has a high diesel content...

    First ride in truck today- Did not turn out good

    Yea, lot of smoke from the CC vent is not a good sign... How much oil was still in the engine? What does that oil look like(is it contaminated/milky)? I would answer those questions before I added any oil for a test run.

    Internet diagnostics

    Also check power steering... Are there any drips anywhere to determine color? Black oil = engine, Brown oil typically = transmission, steering or differential oil. Gear oil usually smells different. it appears to be out both sides, and dripping from the middle. Could be an axle seal, but both...

    brakes

    That is PSI on a gauge connected to the rear service gladhand. Had my grandson driving and after releasing the brakes and rolling, he used just enough pedal to bring it to a stop, I would read the pressure behind the truck as it came to a stop... Having him depress the pedal hard yielded just...

    brakes

    Ok, well cannot really watch it while driving, but it takes about 50 psi using just enough pedal to bring it from a roll to a stop at idle in 2nd. It took around 75 psi to do the same thing in first...

    brakes

    You got me curious and I remembered the vented gladhand covers from the front are 1/8” NPT. Removed a vent and added a gauge then hooked it to the service gladhand at the back. I got 0-100 PSI that varied in a linear fashion with pedal position... 10 psi static sounds weird and 35 PSI sounds...

    LMTV auction prices getting a little ridiculous

    IMO your best bet to find a deal is to line up a skillset(buddy who will work for beer and pizza), such as electrical, and look for one with defects in that area(electrical seems to scare many away, but they really have a pretty straightforward electrical system)... Everyone bids on the ones...

    I need to disable my LMTV from starting... easiest way to do this?

    K1 or K2(starter and control relays respectively) you could also disconnect the solenoid on the back of the governor... along the lines of disconnecting the VIM, you can pull the WTEC Circuit breaker which interrupts the start enable signal from the transmission... Is your battery box locked...

    brakes

    The pedal is a variable regulator so 0-120(or whatever is in the service tanks). You would have to put a gauge on a service line to answer your question.

    M1078 LMTV CTIS Front Wheels Deflating

    Actually in my experimenting I saw this. Check the control solonoid on the PCU. Supply without Control and the pressure jumps up to around 40 then drops into the teens. This caused the fronts to deflate and the rear quick release to only partially open and squeal... The front axle loading on...
