Suggestion, once the unapproved action is fully defined for everyone to see, as it has been here (from one side of the argument), 'nuff said. No point speculating or beating the guy further. Since he is banned, he can't even speak up for himself, or defend against those who got him banned in...

Found my dryer rebuild kit here in the SS parts section, but that was a year ago. Don't see them now. Another reason to get an upgrade dryer. I have already bought my replacement dryer for 'one of these years'. Last time I changed out the desiccant bag it seemed that the bag could be emptied...

If you routinely service your older type air dryer there won't be water in the tanks either :-)

The buzzer typically comes 'on' if air pressure drops, so another logical question is "what is your air pressure showing on both dry tanks?". Are any leaks heard? The trans temp light can come on without the buzzer because my truck has done it. In my case the unfounded transmission overtemp...

That's a small leak around the edge of the diaphragm in the over pressure valve. Mine was doing that, but faster. You can probably isolate the noise with a listening tube or feel the air escape. You can pull the top off the o p valve (the thing that looks like a pressure regulator) by...

This would be a great time to put in a block heater. Yeah, I know, you don't need one in Flodida, but for anyone north of the Mason-Dixon line, you might keep that in mind :-)

The AS-3900 is compatible with the RT524. The transmitter will be happy enough with the match, and the receiver will hear. The down side of these frequency-hopping antennas is that they are a compromise between no-tune wide-band coverage and antenna gain. Gain is about -6 db. In other words...

Could you extend the subframe and leave the main frame untouched?

When I replaced the two oil pan bolts with studs (threaded rod) and used a locking bar and second set of nuts, I thought that would be the last of it. Well, the leak was back. Today I took off the two locking nuts (still tight) and locking bar and the two primary nuts against the oil pan were...

There's perfection, and there's practical. Your reel is an occasionally used load, for a few seconds. Just connect it to first battery. It's constant drains that cause detrimental battery unbalance. My 2c.

I took mine to the hills yesterday to scout out some of the fires in East TN and W NC. Coming back I realized there was a vibration that had not been there forever, but maybe had been getting worse. one of those "has this changed? scenarios. There was a vibration along the rear of the cab...

Steve, Scottmandu, thanks for adding experienced comments to this thread. Bob

With almost a minute delay required between searches, I hesitate to wish that on anyone. To the OP, yes, you can remove/replace oil pan with 'minor' inconvenience. Chose whether you want to deal with draining the trans fluid, or the coolant (or whichever one you need to drain anyway) and...

Another source: finditparts.com just search on kit4715, contains 1 each of the above listed shims, about 7 bucks each kit, need 4 possibly.

Radios not yet mentioned are the PRC-320 (British) and PRC-174 (Israeli). These are both affordable back-packable sets covering 2 to 30 MHz. Search on either of these here on SS because this subject has come up many times before. Lots of good info available. The same search results will...

Will the fabricator balance the new drive shaft for you? Do they require the yokes to do so? (I can't see how they could balance the shaft without the yokes) thanks,

Had an interesting troubleshooting experience today that might be useful to other FMTV owners. For several days the pressure on the air system has been dropping a little at night, requiring to be pumped up again the next morning. I had been unable to find the leak. Today the leak was worse...

Mine was leaking yesterday! But get this, mine was whistling to me saying "here is the leak"! Good advice to take it apart, clean it up, and reassemble. That fixed mine. You do not have to take it off the tank (EVERY piece has to disassemble to get it completely off). Just watch for...

I bought my M-1078 from Adam. As you said, he is a great guy. I called him Sunday when my LMTV transmission went deaf, dumb and blind on the way back from the Georgia Rally. He was ready to come rescue me with his big truck. Luckily the transmission diagnostics and a bit of luck...

Duckworthe, in that lugging situation, can't you press the accelerator pedal to force a downshift? Can on mine, unless the engine would go too high rpm after the desired shift. The tranny knows. In that case the trans won't downshift. You can certainly force a down shift with the down arrow...
