Really have not done a whole lot to my M1078... just been enjoying it! Changed the oil & filter since it has been a year. Been gathering some of the small things needed for the install of the big stuff I talked about above so that I'm not stuck part way through a big project needing a silly...

Went on a little trip to the third coast this past weekend to get a truck for a new owner.

I stumbled on this thread via a Google search. Use the site for my other stuff but didn't realize there was radio stuff on here as well. The thread is old I know, but, I recently got one of the newest TRI 152 radios (July 2021+) and it is MUCH different than the older ones. Much more improved...

I'm in

Ends with -24P if I remember correctly. There's only one parts TM for the M1078.

I don't remember. Looked it up a bunch of times. It's irrelivant because it's a dead end anywways. You can't get that part anymore with exception of a few that Midwest Military Equipment has as old stock for a high price. Possible that some may pop up on eBay in the future, but, no matter what...

My best advice is to look at the wiring in the Technical Manual for the Fan Clutch Solenoid, see where it grounds out, & check that first. Then, trace that wire & see if insulation has broken making it cause some sort of back feed. It's strange, because, when the solenoid dumps air the engage...

So, I have not done much work to the truck, but been gathering parts. M66 turret with all hardware is in hand. Entire PTO winch setup is in hand. I should have a full A/C install kit in hand by the end of the month. Triple checking to be sure I have all needed parts to install everything...

This is exactly what my post & video is about.... this solenoid & I reference this video & Ronmar in the video description. He was the one who shared it with me after I tried 3 other options with failure each time. Very grateful that he found this!

It doesn't sound like it is the solenoid, it sounds like you have some sort of short or ground issue somewhere that is causing an overload that's making a breaker trip & causing a full power shut down. It could be 100's of things really. Electrical issues are a pain in the rear, they can take a...

Yes, he's great. He's helped me many of time on the Facebook group. FMTV guru!

Yes, I linked this video right in mine & gave him full credit for finding this part. Like I said, he was the one who found it after a struck out 3 times! I didn't realize he had uploaded a video until mine was building.

Aftermarket replacement for the fan clutch solenoid that tends to go bad & start to stick and/or leak & can't be found at a reasonable price to replace.

I am going to use this link in my video description, thanks!

Yes. It will be completely rebuilt wire by wire in the future. I don't see another option. I didn't visit Stewart & Stevenson in San Antonio to ask about the harness because I doubt they can get it, & if they can, it's going to cost half what I paid for my truck. Wires falling apart is going to...

Small update video. Going to take some time to get the real in depth video made & edited.

No problem. I have been trying to go back & revise some of the video with links so it goes more along with my format of the channel. The earlier videos I made were kind of haphazard. This one must have slipped by me! If you find for some reason that any of the links were wrong please let me know.

Thanks for the tag! I updated the video description with links to the needed parts. Don't know how long they will be good for but right now they are!

Well, since I got it... not for sale anymore. :p Drained & filled the axle with oil. Took it for a 30 mile or so drive to get fuel. Seems good. One time the quick release valve dumped a bit while filling. But, ultimately it works. Thinking that maybe some gunk made it;s way to it. Hoping it...
