    Transfer case help….M1078 2001

    I haven’t got back to that problem yet. From what I’ve read it looks like the c7 solenoid is powered 12 volt. Not duty cycled? I haven’t checked yet but will when it warms up a little. I now have a second truck and can swap parts if needed. Also should have a known good electrical to compare...

    FMTV High Speed Gears

    Hi Schmirgel, I don’t know if you know about Eco Hubs. They replace the 2:1 gear reduction units with direct drive. I’m going to be listing Eco Hubs for sale on a popular auction site . That site I’m told has very good rates on international shipping. The listing will be for one axle, so if...

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    The spring would need to push against something, in this case it would be the outer hub or bolt adapter. The Delta lock is stationary and the other two pieces are turning. Not the best combination. The split collars work and work well. The amount of push or turning force that the axle nut...

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    I didn’t say the spacers were a feel good solution. The problem I see with spacers is that the distance between the wheel nut and the bolt adapter changes from truck to truck. Yes you can shim the inner gear to make it work. I don’t see that as a simpler solution or reducing insulation...

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    Spacers are not going to be available on Eco Hubs, the split collars that are current production are 1/2” thick and use a larger pinch bolt. What is in the works is what I’m calling ”Delta Locks”. They engage the fixed splines on the axle tube and the pins on the axle nut. The lock is held...

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    Hi Matthew, The thicker lock rings are available no problem. All the new sets ship with the thicker ones now. I haven’t had any problems with the thin ones. Other than a few being stripped out when installing the Allen screw. I also have a new lock plate in the works now to provide a...

    Transfer case help….M1078 2001

    I’ve got several calls into Allison and transfer case rebuilders, so far no one can provide info on c7 valve body gasket?? The exploded views don’t show c7 valve body in place or the attaching bolts or gasket if there is one?? Hope to hear something tomorrow? I have removed c7 valve body...

    Transfer case help….M1078 2001

    No c7 wasn’t engaged. Good thinking I will do a main test with c7 engaged. I haven’t found a breakdown with c7 valve body to the transfer case to see if a gasket is used. I wouldn’t think they would let cast iron sit directly on aluminium ? Another thought, with mode on the transmission...

    Transfer case help….M1078 2001

    Ok main pressure is between 235 and 250 at idle. Can anyone tell me if there is supposed to be a gasket between c7 valve body and the transfer case?? Seems like there should be but I don’t have one there. Did a leak down,100% leak down. From under the valve body?? Or valve body is...

    Transfer case help….M1078 2001

    I didn’t check main pressure, the transmission functions really good. No shift flare ,no slipping and no codes. You are probably correct on 1st gear . I’m going to do a leak down on c7. I will check the main pressure just to be sure. I haven’t pulled the 2 filters just the screen on the...

    Transfer case help….M1078 2001

    Ok I had time to test pressure for the c7 clutch pack. Idle it’s only 65/70 psi. It’s is the same in 1st as it is in mode. So looks like the tcm is functioning fine. Anyone have a good source for transmission/ transfer case parts. Allison is crazy expensive! Fluid volume seems very good...
