Apparently don't go to New Jersey at the moment. 👀

That brake adjustment tool is...... some engineers idea of a good idea I guess. I have the official one - tried it once. Waste of time IMO. Seal driver.... Never needed one. In practice it's much faster to just use a socket extension or a screwdriver. But to each their own.

That's as listed on the passenger door data plate.

My 2008 M1079 has a GVW of 25,980 :LOL:

Higher if you want it to look and perform as factory - even higher if you want someone to install it for you. Probably $6k to $8k in today's market.

GVW is 25,980. Top speed is about 62 mph stock. But there are multiple options for "fixing" that. My truck has seen 90 mph.

Which generation M1078? There's A0 trucks from 1993 to 1998, A1 trucks from 99 to 2004, and A1R trucks from 2004 to about 2011. Most of us prefer either the A0 or the A1R........ What's the history and condition? If it's "the same price" as a used pickup..... I mean how used is the pickup...

Probably grounding. But we have no way to know - you will have to go through the schematic and test: https://archive.org/details/fmtv-schematics-a-0-a-1-r

I too have one of those.

Frame flex is unavoidable and needs to be accounted for. You can't just soften the suspension and cross your fingers..... Pocketed springs are the lowest profile option, they are simple with no complex moving parts and are what the original designers used for the M1079 and M1087 - but they do...

Good excuse to buy an M1009 CUCV as a portable jump pack.

Yeah not going to hurt yourself with 24v easily..... The solenoid terminal jump is a quick way to rule out a lot of the high amp connections, batteries, and the starter itself. That one test rules out half the system so you can narrow your focus.

Jump across the auxiliary solenoid terminals and see if she cranks that way. Also is the transmission pad lit up? Showing N?

Battery condition? This is almost always dead batteries..... You need to load test each of them with them disconnected from the truck and each other.

Yeah that's essentially exactly what I posted above. You still need the transducer and charge sensor - whatever those are - and neither lists specifications so you still need to contact Red Dot.

I just installed ECO hubs on a 30k lb C7 MTV with 3.07's this last weekend. That makes 5 trucks I've installed or assisted installing ECO hubs on. He does have the 370 HP M-ATV engine swap. Zero complaints - definitely made his top three of best modifications. Climbs hills the same as before...

No lakes or tar pits nearby? I guess if all else fails you can go on a walkabout and try to throw them off the end of the Earth so they can no longer hurt anyone else.

Yes you best correct the driveshaft phasing before you wreck the transmission, differential yokes, and possibly a lot more. I wouldn't move the truck till the driveshafts are pulled and rebuilt/balanced.

PCU is the pneumatic unit on the passenger floor. The CTIS Controller with the button pad is what does the coms. Separate modules.

Army wheeled vehicle mechanics are definitely not professional HVAC technicians and while they do get some training on vehicle AC systems it's sometimes a struggle for them to isolate the exact cause of a malfunction so Red Dot integrated a basic self-diagnostic computer that helps to direct...
