That is great you figured it out! I am going to add the issue to my list of warning signs something is going bad.

I have a new block heater on the way and plan to go ahead and do a full drain and fill on the coolant. TM says ethyl glycol antifreeze but wondering if anyone has used a specific brand or type (long life, etc.) or will wally-world brand do just fine for the CAT 3116? Thanks for any assistance, OD

Once the weather warms up or my engine block heater arrives (Just ordered :) ) I am going to try out the sticky throttle pedal theory on the 3-2 downshift.

it was in the same TM TM 9-2320-365-20-3 as the trans filter change. Learn mode is talked about when changing the trans shifter dash thingy. It is mentioned several times after procedures in that -20.

I did a whole write up on this and precise measurements on what fluid came out during each drain & fill. Really have to be careful about overfilling a transmission... http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?149271-LMTV-M1078-Transmission-Fluid-Change-To-ATF-Write-Up&highlight=

OK we figured out both of the main brackets. I didn't want to post a reply up due to covert auction activities. The sharks were out in full force on GL last week but we managed to win some at auction. I have the base bracket that bolts to the block and I hope the ones we just won are the other...

Hmmm.... I was researching how to add a tach to a CAT 3116 and the info I was finding talked about an alternator driven signal for the tach and not dealing with adding anything to the trans... It sounded like this is a standard thing for diesels.

Another quick and very cheap mod to add a door pin switch to the LMTV to turn on a dome light. I quickly realized that in the dark when climbing into the LMTV and getting it fired up was an inconvenience screaming to be addressed. Not wanting to drill or cut anything I decided to use the...

Thanks for the info Suprman. The overspeed light flickers in HWY mode above 30 which it should not do. I haven't started down the TM troubleshooting path yet but when I did glance at the -20 I recall that I didn't see this particular condition in the troubleshooting tree... It is on my list of...

Way too many projects going but I have been working on a couple of small mods and here is one.... I am somewhat of a light freak when it comes to work and area lights on my off-road vehicles. Added a little 10W LED work light on the underside of the passenger side antenna mount that is the...

I did the transmission fluid swap to ATF but I only have about 40 miles on the truck since. Will be putting many more miles on it once the weather warms up. I did a complete write up on the change over and was freakishly careful with three flush and fill cycles. There was no metal found during...

Subscription email not working for me so sorry on the delayed reply. I have not had a chance to start troubleshooting this gremlin. Also have a flakey fuel gauge. There is a little wire along side my CTIS harness to the cab controller attached to one of the mount bolts that doesn't look stock so...

AWESOME! Suprman... There are all kinds of little parts I would like to have... I need some time to look them up to post pics out of the 24p. First thing off the top of my head would be sun visors and the mounting hardware to install them... I want to put all three across the top. I just...

I have 22 of the driver's side 3116 AC compress or brackets.

Thanks for the words of support guys will keep the pics coming. Purchased the phones from eBay and field wire reel from Sportsmansguide. Ebay prices on wire are crazy.

Not sure if posting all the little details on this build will annoy folks but I have a very minor addition... I was going to rip out all the brackets and racks leaving just the folding table thingy and the power disrto box but after hanging out in the S250 and contemplating life while looking...

S250 is starting to clean up nicely...

If the crowd is small I may be willing to host a get together on my property. Have a big circle gravel driveway and an open field area that would be good for truck setup fun. Had the semi with a flatbed drive through and drop off my LMTV so should be more than adequate for any MV setups. Just a...

Excellent pics! How do you have the M1101 trailer setup with the LMTV? I have the same setup with a shelter on my M1102.

Hmmm.... This requires further discussion I think since it sounds like quite a number of us are having the lurch issue.
