    Preferred engine oil for 3126b

    I run Amsoil 15w40 Max Duty full synthetic. The expensive HEUI pump and injectors relies on clean oil. As for rattling like rocks in a can - I have nothing like that. Engine sounds great.

    FMTV Highway Speed

    With 370 HP and 931 Ft/lbs my truck gear limits at 62 mph - and it gets there in a hurry! You hit the engine and transmission red line and that's all it's got - mathematically impossible to exceed with the engine and transmission programming and probably not smart to exceed the engine red line...

    much to my chagrin....

    The problem here is the "oil line of death" is so named because it HAS caused engine failures since it will pump the engine dry in a very short period at 2600 RPM cruising on the highway and goes unnoticed till it's too late because the leak is below and behind the operator.

    New to me M1078A1 - Flew into Houston yesterday - What have I done

    Or a valve cover from one anyway. o_O Just to introduce another layer of confusion and uncertainty. Bolts don't look molested though so yeah - probably a 1999 production engine. The engine on my 2008 was made in 2008 but maybe in the earlier years they had engines sitting around for a while...

    much to my chagrin....

    No. The 3126 used on FMTV's were all 3126b's. Only the mechanical 3116 used on the A0 has the oil line issue.

    LMTV Abs troubleshooting

    Many ABS systems will complain if they see differing wheel speeds and the codes will typically self clear. It could be the case on these as well. We have that problem a lot at my shop working on vehicles when we run them on a lift and wheel speeds are all over the place so the controller just...

    much to my chagrin....

    Doesn't apply to the 3126b or the C7. They are HEUI engines and the oil feed to the HEUI pump is a hose (also much longer) not steel tubing.

    Another Diagnostic Thread

    The software is out there. Just not on this forum. PM me and we'll get you squared away. CAT ET is out there. Again PM me and we'll get you sorted out. The DANA CTIS diagnostic software is actually free to download on their site. Allison Doc is an issue I'm still working on. Even the...

    Another Diagnostic Thread

    The Standard Test Equipment/Internal Combustion Engines (STE/ICE) is capable of a lot of functions. In particular besides the Dearborn Adapter that is a generic J1939 adapter and talks to the engine, transmission, ABS, etc with the correct software, the rest of the kit is basically a DVOM that...

    Another Diagnostic Thread

    The CD's that come with the ICE kit are manuals only. They contain no software other than the manual viewer application. The ICE kit interface software is located on the MSD laptop - for which the STE-ICE kit is a basic issue item of. The MSD laptops are significantly less common and in any case...

    3126 w/ABS vs 3116

    Changing the subject I see. I have zero concerns about the C7 rerate at the *tiny* HP number of 370. I've seen plenty of lesser engines making significantly more power. I've got a 5.9 Cummins Dodge at my shop right now that was making 1100 HP and did so for 40k miles before it dropped a valve...

    3126 w/ABS vs 3116

    Again with the claims and no references. Supply and demand doesn't just stop working and economies don't just implode like your predictions would suggest. Until technologies come online and are adopted to replace the entire transportation sector (planes, trains, trucks, etc) with alternatives...

    3126 w/ABS vs 3116

    Wise decision to remove your ad hominem. My education level isn't the topic of discussion - I'm educated enough to know that! You haven't brought any "expert" testimony to this discussion. You have made only unsubstantiated claims and generalizations. I posted an article refuting your claims...

    3126 w/ABS vs 3116

    It's always "unstable" - has been for decades. Stability doesn't have enough divisive issues associated with it for proper "control". Keeping people divided over "divisive issues" is HOW they maintain control. Isn't is curious that almost every issue, every measure, every party, every vote is...

    3126 w/ABS vs 3116

    Why would they demil them with the included CD's and manuals if they are illegal to distribute? And in any case doesn't that pretty much invalidate their distribution restriction? That shit is literally everywhere. I don't see how they can claim it's classified now....... I'm happy to give it...

    3126 w/ABS vs 3116

    I think in some respects you may be confusing the A1R with the A1P2. Totally different animals. MWME has an A1P2 LTAS for sale at $250k..... I have seen no A1R's for sale in this price range. The TM's are absolutely available. Just PM me and I can get you anything you need. In another thread I...

    3126 w/ABS vs 3116

    Having ridden in all versions....... I prefer the HEMTTA4's. :love: They ride like a Cadillac. But seriously the A1R gets all this flak for the lack of an air ride cab and honestly you just don't notice this significantly in practice. The addition of the suspension seats and generally people...

    3126 w/ABS vs 3116

    Sensational doom and gloom reporting always gets lots of views. It's great for click bait. Given historic trends that prediction is unlikely...

    M1087A1 Expansible Van TM?

    I can image the discs and put them on archive.org. Would posting the link to download them from there be considered taboo? I mean - this forum isn't hosting the files......

    M1087A1 Expansible Van TM?

    It exists in PDF format as well. ALSO the government is selling ICE test sets at auction that contain the CD's with these manuals. Anyone can buy one on ebay for $200 to $400. The CD's included with these kits are often still shrink wrapped. I own one. Want pics? LoL...
