nice look. Maybe consider spray or brush it with fire retardent.? Unlike regular construction wood; think it has no fire-retardant-ish stuff done to it..... read up on it?

are you using re-claimed pallet planks?

yes air activated; but that is controlled by an electric air solenoid.... so maybe call it a hybrid electric/air controlled? Defaults to on if air is not supplied.

For everyone's clarity... true for A1 and A0???. (as long as A0- does not have have PTO in Allison TCU thus can't link pacbrake to it?)

Glad to see the Pin conversation.... but for different reason that hit on in here. When folk switch their pull valves on their A0 to the dual unit like in the A1's they invariably cut out a square from the A0's face plate and plop the dual valve setup behind that. Never understood why folk did...

Yeah their stuff is in here. Apparently also there is a bit of a ..... bash up with something about their veteran -ish thing being what they say its.. and what it really is.... maybe its all resolved now.

how much ground clearance you loose when the unit is installed? might be interested

Below From Yellow Parts Spread sheet. Myself tend to like plastic cause they are sacrificial wear part that will wear out themselves instead of part of your latch or your rod (or both) Was able to use some from a couple sets of Dorman multi type plastic door rod clip kit from auto part...

.. should work on each 6x6 axle too. pretty sure Outer hubs are same

on FMTV A0... what spares would one in worst case repair scenario need too have carried in a Faraday caged box to get back up running.... Tranny computer module?, and relay's to replace those in Power Distribution panel?. CTIS module?

are the designers of this hub system looking at it like the whole axle is tuff enough to eliminate (nominally) one half of OEM design; that was figured to be part of how the force's get shared thru out all the components?? ... or are they figuring the new hub will share the forces similarly as...

has nothing to do with gear reduction. Just strength of individual components. there is a 5 gal pail of sand.. if you pick it up with one hand to walk it 1000ft.... its not fun unless that hand is BEEEF strong...... if a buddy grabs the handle with you.... its less work on each person's hand...

Since an axle with outer gears, be it portal or gear reduction.... it is said the forces from the drive system are "shared" heavily between R&P and the outer gear system. Could be the hub design of this new setup may create that same effect???? Thusly, take measure with a temp gun your pumpkin...

uggg...... but this seems to be very different volumes of H20. on the trans oil test?? what was the % or other measurment they found in the trans oil?

interesting. With that quality work and your user name..... sounds like you are an engineer so went about it with a lot of thought. Still skeptical though.... How small is the FMTV ring , pinion, thus pumpkin size, compared to say the axles in a Kodiak with same engine and Allison?

Both rear axles are active all the time.... does not matter if locked or unlocked. How they act is controlled by the locker. the locker is not in one of the axle diffs. it is inside the between axles diff. (inside the Power Divider Box- the big chunk tied to middle alxe) That diff allows for...

or keep a spare trans computer and harness.... spare alternar, and other parts in faraday boxes (Galvanized trash cans with aluminum tape around seam of lid? )

what General says in https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/was-there-a-final-correct-answer-on-the-lm-fmtvs-being-emp-proof.213478/post-2498716 also one of the early EMP absorbing devices on the A0's ... or was it the A1.... everyone unplugged cause it caused issues. I forget the name of...

with a longer arm that folds in middle or so...... you could prior to lower... swing it all way out to the side... pull pins.. allowing hinge to knock the arm 90 degree that tires hangs from.... resulting in tire now sitting about exacly over the rear axle. As you finish lowering it...

I was thinking Creep by Radio Head and Just a Gigolo by Louis Prima, David Lee Roth, Louis Armstrong (Satchmo) and others. Very happy it was nothing like American Pie by Don McLean
