    Working on the M1078 LMTV

    That might be the temperature transducer but it's not the fan switch. Look in front of the engine where one of the hoses attaches and runs forward. Picture attached, at the oval, just below picture center. This switch can easily be checked with an Ohm meter but I can't remember if it is...

    Working on the M1078 LMTV

    The coolant temperature is sensed by a switch on the right front area of the engine. It's a switch, not a sensor. That switch tells the solenoid valve in the passenger footwall to open or close the air supply to the fan clutch. My truck has a sticking solenoid valve, as have others. I don't...

    LMTV arrived

    There must be a hundred visual and olfactory clues that a truck is low mileage. I would believe the odometer.

    M1088 tractor air at spring brakes released with parking brake engaged

    If you follow the tube from the emergency front gladhand it goes to the one-way valve then to a shuttle valve. That shuttle valve is most likely bad. So is the one-way valve. It is at that shuttle valve that another tube heads off to places unknown, actually to the parking brake system. That...

    Bead Breaker for big tires, John Deere style

    I put this thread here because the Unimog tires are about the biggest we still have to break down the old fashion way. With half a dozen tires to de-bead there had to be an easy way. Here is the John Deere remote control micro adjustable bead breaker: The micro adjuster to get the wheel in...

    Samuri Warrior Crossed with an LMTV 1079

    Now he can say "See honey, I tried to sell it". What happened to the first thread you started on this truck?

    M100 trailers, Military topper?

    NDT, as you predicted, here is what we found after pressure-washing off much of the last coat of white paint. Which turned into this with a little chalk: And these: tell us this was a CARPENTER trailer for TVA. The trailers are rough will be ok with application of a lot of TLC!

    M100 trailers, Military topper?

    Just bought these M-100's with toppers. One topper looks commercial, but has anyone seen a cover like this on a military trailer before? Searching does not find anything even similar. The trailer is a Dunbar Kapple dated 3/52. Also got another Dunbar Kapple made 4/52 (obvious handmade...

    Wheelspinner's M1078

    Wheelspinner, the required relays will have terminals showing in the sockets. Sockets with no terminals were not used on your truck.

    Lmtv1078A1 24 volt on 12 volt side

    Those A1 schematics are nice, actually. Once downloaded to your computer, expand the page to match your eyes (in my case, BIG) and look on SHT (sheet) 2 in the description column for the circuit you want to find. I haven't found a way to search for the name of the circuit, except manually, but...

    Odd Voltmeter Reading

    Here's what you are looking for. Lift the flexible covers to see the terminals on the polarity protection device. You can tell if the connections are tight by wiggling the wires. There are labels on those wires but mine are hard to read. I think the 24v pairs are on top and 12v below, but...

    Odd Voltmeter Reading

    As long as you have mismatched batteries in a four battery system, you will have charging and longevity issues.

    May need some help with a recovery at Ft. Hood ? Anybody available ?

    An off site location could have degraded security, too. There are advantages to having 'won' items stored behind tight security.

    WS wiper park issues

    My wipers have worked for a year and a half, but just developed a problem. Intermittent does not work and the blades no longer return to correct parking position. Low and high speeds still work so the motor is basically good. Basic function of the wipers will 'get me by' until it's fixed...
