I have an m1078 in port orchard. Still sorting out some issues, but still drivable to pick up my trash cans at the end of the road every week

Well so far, I've upgraded the alt, air dryer, replaced all the check valves, hand fulls of relays, figured out a para cord outside door handle, and upgraded the headlights. Still all worth the smiles per mile I get with it.

As for oil where it shouldn't be, it's leaking out the Hub and into the brake pads on the front left. Pulled the hose on the wheel stud to find dripping oil there too. Guess I will get to learn all about how the hubs go together. Will make for a good time to also install some high speed...

I pulled a banjo bolt on a rim. Wouldn't you know, gear oil dripping out. So it appears I have another issue. I have my ctis disconnected at the control block, as I have other ctis leaks as well. Thanks, one problem found and a plan to fix. Still have oil leaking at the air compressor...

Upon further investigation, all the oil on the rear is from a leak forward. Saw that there were dry shadows on the axle and the oil had to comr from forward. Still looks like out of an air fitting. My old air dryer did have a bit of oil in it. I may put my go pro down there and go for a...

No oil in the tanks, but oil is coming out of the air vent I posted a pic of. Going to have to wait to tare into this, I have a roof to fix this weekend. Also oil looks like it blew out the right rear brake can area. Sprayed oil all the way to the diff. My ctis is disconnected and there was...

I remember reading that. I hope it is not that, because I would rather not scrap an engine, due to a crack.

So today, a Big day for the M1078 as i finally got plates for it, I took it to the streets for a test drive. When I got home I found a few things to take care of. The air compressor unit its self is leaking oil, I also found oil dripping from one of the vent lines in in the frame rail. and...

Might need those parts to make it go zoom. Zoom

The method I described has been been used by my brother in law on a bunch of trucks for the army. He got it from the TM. Looking at mine I bet a hockey puck would work great. I wonder if you can order a urethane puck. Anyways it would be easy to cast urathan for this.

I was just showed the easiest way to replace these today, using the cab lift. First you disable the rear cab lock , then loosen the nuts on the bolts till they are at then end. Then lift the cab using the hydro until the nuts are back on the mounts. Remove the nuts and the bolts will lift...

Will your my hero, making voltage like a champ. I'm an E7 and just today I was telling my E6 guys to trust but verify . I guess I need to listen to myself. Knowing what I know about the voltage regulators, it would have never excited the field with 24v on the 14 leg. One of the great design...

Ok so I am in the military, and should know better about assumption . When I took everything apart I had to label the main cables going to the alternator as the metal tags were missing. Easy day tagged 12 for the 12v stud and 24 for the 24 stud. Well. The last guy to hook them up in the army...

That's what I have done. I will double triple and quad check.

No luck

thats what i did, verified 24v on the regulator. im going to pull k11 and try the jump again

Well I have got a new 200amp alternator kit installed, and guess what? Yep no power. Which TM would I find the wiring diagram for this vehicle? Something is causing the alternator to not engage. I am wondering what TL6 the small wire from the 24v alt stud goes? Maybe this is my issue? I am...

True words about the onion. Doing my alternator I found the fuel lines look weak. Fixing the air dryer, I found the ctis to leak. Tightening the throttle cable I found a worn intercooler boot. And the list goes on and on...

That thing was awesome. I bet it has some history

Hopefully those xzl's hold up better
