    Nato plug charging???

    Does anyone have experience in using the nato plug to keep a trickle charge on the batteries over winter? Is it possible, what other equipment is needed, i.e. 24 volt charger. Specifics would be appreciated.

    Anyone knows where this part goes?

    Is it the pump handle to manually tilt the cab forward?

    LMTV Transmission won't engage

    Bob, winner, winner, chicken dinner! You got it, my gas pedal was "stuck" down, causing the engine to idle high. The ECU was reading the high RPM's like the tech at Transmission Instruments had predicted and wouldn't allow it to go into gear. Foot under pedal, shifts into gear. Now I need to...

    delayed shifting issue

    Mine does the same thing, especially from a stop to the first shift, the engine whines out. It may have something to do with the "learning" ability of the Allison ECU, the more you drive it, the better it "learns". I'm not sure if there is a fix. Hey, I just noticed you're in Cleveland, where...

    LMTV Transmission won't engage

    Yes hand throttle is all the way down, but I did not try to lift up on the gas pedal to see if it affects the engine rpms. Also, hand throttle doesn't start to increase engine rpms until the throttle is half way up.

    LMTV Transmission won't engage

    Thanks guys. My truck is like a bucking bronco when it down shifts from 3-2 at a stop light, really wants to go. I'll see if I can make the adjustments.

    LMTV Transmission won't engage

    OK, I spoke to a WTEC II expert at Transmission Instruments and he thinks my engine is idling too high which is telling the ECU not too allow the transmission to get into gear.. I've tried to find the procedure to adjust engine idle in the tech manuals without luck as of yet. Can someone point...

    LMTV Transmission won't engage

    OK, I took the ECU out and separated the touch pad from the ECU and disconnected the ribbon cable. I sprayed contact cleaner on the terminals from touch pad to ECU and the pins to the wire harness. Reinstalled everything, fired the truck up until air pressure was right and hit the drive...

    LMTV Transmission won't engage

    Thanks, I'll try that. Any idea what size nut holds the steering wheel on? It's bigger than 1 1/8, the biggest socket I have.

    LMTV Transmission won't engage

    Hi, I'm seeing if I can get some quick responses while I go through the manuals. My push button Allison Transmission will not engage. I push "D" drive, it beeps twice and starts flashing 7 N and won't engage. I'm thinking it is probably a sensor, but I just don't know. Fluid is clean and...

    Hawker Armasafe Battery Charging Question

    Hi, Like a dumbass, I left the lights on my M-1078 overnight and the batteries are just about dead. Not enough power to turn over the engine. Does anyone have experience with charging these batteries? I took them all out of the truck and plan on charging them. Since the batteries are...

    FMTV Pintle hook question

    I need a favor. I need to remove the pintle hook from my M-1078 in order to install a ball hitch so I can tow a car dolly. My truck is currently in WV and I'm in Ohio. Can someone please measure the distance between the bolts that hold on the pintle hook? Thanks, Greg

    CARC types

    I'd look at PPG PMC (Protective and Marine) or Akzo Nobel (International Paint) protective and marine coatings. Super durable and you can probably buy in gallon containers.
