    LMTV M1078 Transmission Fluid Change To ATF Write Up

    I wasn’t personally attacking you. You kind of did that to start. Let’s just agree To disagree and you can put Motor oil in whatever you’d like to. Allison worked alongside shell and develop a transmission fluid specifically for the Allison transmission. The military used oil not because it...

    LMTV M1078 Transmission Fluid Change To ATF Write Up

    Post edit When I first picked up my truck it seemed to shift smoother, but after driving it over 50 miles it seems to shift like it did before. Driving it home it seemed not to slam so hard but maybe that was wishful thinking. I posted that it shifted smoother before I had a chance to put more...

    LMTV M1078 Transmission Fluid Change To ATF Write Up

    My LMTV had engine oil in the transmission and I wanted to go to Shell Spirax. I found a place in Houston, Reliable Transmissions, that only deals with Allison Trans. They did not have to do multiple fill and drains, They did a transmission flush after they drained the engine oil out of my trans...

    98 LMTV registration in TX????

    I just registered my M1078 with TX. They have no idea how to do it at the tax office. They first have to look under antiques. Yes I know, these are not all antiques, mine is a 1996. But have them first look under antiques. There they will find the military trucks. You can either get a license...

    Talk to me about getting an M1078...

    I have an old school deuce and a half that I will sell you for 3500.00. Everything works but the brakes. I am sure it is an air leak cause it went from working to no pedal in 1 day. For 4000.00 I will fix the brakes. Steve 936-648-1369

    LMTV M1078 Transmission Fluid Change To ATF Write Up

    Do you need to follow this same procedure if you are changing regular trans fluid to new trans fluid. In other words not going from oil to trans fluid? If I am changing trans fluid to trans fluid do I need to do a relearn?

    M1078 Harmonic Balancer and Fan Clutch

    After I tore it down I found the bolts were backed out and broken. I failed to update you on the progress. Sorry.

    M1078 Harmonic Balancer and Fan Clutch

    It's not the studs that attach the clutch to the hub that were loose and broken. It's the eight studs that attach the harmonic balancer to the pulley. Three broke off five backed out.

    M1078 Harmonic Balancer and Fan Clutch

    I didn't say anything about my harmonic balance being bad. I said that eight bolts backed out of it. Never said it wasn't moving. Not sure where you got that.

    M1078 Harmonic Balancer and Fan Clutch

    I found the problem yesterday. All my harmonic balancer bolts were finger tight. It was allowing it to move. Three of the bolts are longer than the others. It looks like some of the others may have snapped the tip off. Any suggestion for this? Yes this is an LMTV M1078. Sorry if I posted in the...

    FMTV Fan Clutch Repair

    When you truck reaches 200 degrees you should hear a release from your compressor and the fan will kick on to engage the fan. Take the air supply line on the front of the slip clutch, after removing fan blades, and rig up 90 psi to the opening where your supply line was. It should activate the...

    M1078 Harmonic Balancer and Fan Clutch

    Not sure how the 6.2 got on my thread other then I asked about parts for my m1078 and a reply said to order one for 6.2 Chevy. I have a 1996 m1078 with a cat 3116. My goal is to find a place other than Cat to buy the dampener and the slip clutch. Thanks for your help.
