    Critical FMTV PM not covered in TMs

    Breakers go by amps only. I only had 5 breakers when I received my truck. I had no luck finding them back then, so I used good old ATO fuses :-D. It actually works out good. As I went through systems one by one, I figure a fuse would blow immediately, where as a 'unknown' CB could be defective...

    Critical FMTV PM not covered in TMs

    Back in the day when I was working on the FDT, I had made sectional pdf's from the TMs of items I needed to address, and the PDP was the first. This is for the "A0" cab. Most of the relays are SPST (4 pin) , but a few are SPDT(5 pin). Just pay attention to the trigger voltage

When the cab comes down, the lack of pressure allows the safety latch out to catch the hook. More than likely, the piston has frozen from water and and crap in the cylinder. Remove the...

    Critical FMTV PM not covered in TMs

    That was one of the many repairs needed when I was putting the LVAD back together. It is actually the latch's lock. As pressure from the hydraulic builds up, it slides the rod out of the latch releasing the latch to open, the rod on the other side is a visual indicator to the latch being locked...
