    FMTV ABS Connectors Rot

    Just cut the rest of that off, clean it up good, use some deoxit, etc. Cut the wires a good bit down from the connector - like 4-6" so you can replace the failed rubber with 3M heat shrink w/sealant and install a Deutsch connector as an intermediate connector in case you do need to do the flying...

    Need HELP Cb do not Raise

    Yep. Use a BIG socket to pull out the locking pin and replace the seals. Reinstall, fill the system, and lift the cab.

    Lmtv cab lift safety question

    1st is manual selection only. It's used to get heavy loads moving on a grade. With ECO hubs you won't hit 7th gear till about 75 mph. But it will stay in 7th down to about 68. All academic since none of the components care if you achieve the high score on the gear indicator. Engine RPM is all...

    Lmtv cab lift safety question

    Put the hydraulic system back to stock. Remove the stupid electric bull*hit, rebuild the air-operated pump for a few bucks for the seals. Too bad they deleted the tire crane. Fabulous design and mounted mid-chassis for weight distribution. The transmission controller handles the engine RPM...

    Proper Cab Support Safety Bar PSA

    Yes I have them made. Sean got a kit from me for his truck:

    Lmtv cab lift safety question

    Well you bought it from an idiot. Excellent. Be wary of anything that tool touched. Lucky he didn't get unalived by some other stupid notion. Soldiers have been killed by the cab. I recall an incident where a soldier got their head stuck between the cab step and the tire. Fatality. The Cab...

    CRANK-NO START ‘00 M1079a1

    Must hit 870 psi injection actuation pressure or the injectors won't be fired. If you aren't getting that then you have a fuel supply or HEUI problem.

    Has anyone done the hydraulic heavy duty cab lift upgrade?

    IMO the cab support tool should have been part of the BII. That's literally the hood prop!

    Has anyone done the hydraulic heavy duty cab lift upgrade?

    The TM has technicians support the cab with a "suitable lifting device" but I did the whole job using the Cab Support Tool. Swapping the ram itself is super easy. Just have air in the tanks and with the cab supported in the partially raised position with the support bar you can disconnect the...

    What is the single most concerning dash gauge reading?

    Cab grounds. Grounds in general. Have you spent the solid week that it takes to clean or replace every ground AND fix all the deficiencies you WILL find while doing so? And the PDP circuit board power distribution "bolts" if this is an A1 truck.... Basically, every one of these trucks needs...

    CTIS PCU Deflate Solenoid - Connector Unplugged; faulty wiring or solenoid

    Have you cut the zip ties off to inspect the hoses from the frame to the wheel? It's a known issue for them to rub together and wear holes in the hoses. Have you done a hub service to inspect/replace the hub and CTIS seals?

    Fuel Line Fitting Size

    It's all JIC, which is just cheaper/looser AN. You'll find some ORB, but the whole truck is going to be largely JIC. Better yet - just take the old hoses to any good fitting/hose supplier and they can make them for you while you wait. And when considering larger tanks - consider frame flex in...

    Air System Issue - Brakes Locked Up

    You should ask in the MTVR forum and the applicable Facebook groups. I know MTVR guys with the manuals - ask around. That stuff exists for the right price.
