    transfer case rear output flange

    The bearing is lubed with trans oil pressure there is a cavity behind the seal that will hold a pint or less of oil and that is all that's going to come out unless you start the truck.

    Greetings from the Frozen North! (MN new member)

    Maybe I could suggest something like an expanding shop van trailer, and a 5th wheel 5 ton or fmtv . otherwise the only alternative for getting any floor space is the rare 5 ton expand van.

    Towing an M1091 A1 trailer with an M1079 do able? Pic included

    The truck should handle it just fine, my engine is rated at 230 and pulled an equipment trailer and d-3 just fine total weight was over 40 k. The roads were icy so my speed was limited If the roads were dry I don't think I'd have done it at highway speeds but where the road was straight and dip...

    MTV 1084 w/MHC Hay Feeding Truck Conversion

    The problem has to do with the function of the pto. Te torque converter must be in lockup for the pto to function properly, on the 3070 transmissions once the trans hits 3rd the trans goes to lock up all the way to 7 th . In the lower gears with the t/c not locked up you will build heat faster...

    Starter options?

    I have seen commercialy built gear reduction starters on hmmwv's at fort dix. the starter housing is the same pinion and depth as a gm diesel. The dust cover on the lower bell housing must be removed to pull the starter, some have a starter access plate added so you don't have to remove the...

    M1009 dust proofing

    I would also crawl under the truck and look at the inner rocker panels for rust through, a common place for holes to show up is right behind the rear seat mounting points.

    Battery disconnect switch that fits? M998

    I prefer breaking the negative side, this is a must if you have dual voltage alternators. Cat however breaks the jumper between the batterys.

    SQUEEZING THROUGH ! ALWAYS Check Your Clearances

    I was just showing that vid to one of my co workers in the shop when one of the drivers came in demanding I move my truck from the back door. I told him to chill and take a safety moment. I opened the door went to move my truck and the moron was backing up into me before I got the parking brake...

    Gear reduction starter and flexplate

    The clearance for the starter is supposed to be about 40 to 60 thousandths as I remember. Too tight or too loose will shorten the life of the dental work on your flexplate. The military went to the no shim housings, but most gear reduction starters are aftermarket and may require the shim. With...

    DRASH (GETT) Modification Discussion

    I don't know why every one cals single phase 220 proper single phase voltages is 120 and 240 you can have voltages as low as 110 and 220 because of voltage drops. I would still try to get as close to 240 as possible.

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    The soft plug engine heater is a lot more efficient at warming the block because that's really all it does the tank type heaters rely on convection to move coolant through the cooling system to heat the engine, if they aren't placed right they wont warm the whole engine, or any of the engine at...
