    allison no workie

    my experience with lmtv transmissions is that you will mot move it back far enough to gain access to the flex coupling. The trans slides back a few inches than will have to be lowered and tilted to move it back than leveled again. I was quite happy to find my flywheel ring gear was good and that...

    Cool tool for installing tight belts

    The new chevy and fords have non adjustable components like ac compressors and power steering pumps. That tool is to stretch the special serpentine belt on I doubt it will work with a normal serpentine belt or a v belt, the stretch fit belts are designed to stretch more than a regular belt and...

    Middle axle only use in rear

    Im no expert on the fmtv system but I believe the differential lock is only for the inter axle power divider I think the rest of the differential is still open. If that is the case and you are doing this to lessen driveline angles than the lock would have to be applied all the time or power...

    I need to disable my LMTV from starting... easiest way to do this?

    I would have suggested relays they tend to be pretty obvious. the vim box is more of a secret for us fmtv enthusiast. As superman stated the best way would be a hidden interrupter switch.

    Skipping deuce

    on a diesel there are only 2 things required to run fuel and compression.
