It's not loose. I already checked that. I tightened it maybe 1/8 of a turn, and I think the leak might have gotten worse.

Item 30 in that manual page screenshot I posted lists a "pre-formed packing". I couldn't find anything in a google search for the part number.

Do the lines themselves typically fail (e.g. split or wear through), or does the o-ring just go? This is a stead run of ATF out of the compression nut, like if you turn on the faucet to drip and then just turn it up little by little until it runs a stead 1/8" diameter stream. I'm stuck in a...

One of my transmission cooler lines started leaking like a faucet today. Before I take it off (and really get myself up the creek), is there anything special about the o-rings that seal these? I have an SAE and metric o-ring kit - think there will be a replacement in there? Or are these...

And your gunner's deck is the standard 1/8" thick aluminum type, correct?

How are your seats bolted in? Did you just drill through the cab floor and put a plate on the other side? It seems like you would have to do something special to take the potential load of a passenger in a crash, as their body weight tries to rip the seat off its mounts. With the standard...

I just have to figure out which one it is, haha.

Yes, the water temp light stays on. It didn't use to, this is just a new thing that started. The fan doesn't cycle on and off, but that's because the clutch is bad so it's frozen in engaged position, but that was happening before this light issue. Anyone know which sender controls the fan?

Are there two temperature senders? When I start my LMTV, the water temperature warning light (and "STOP" light) are illuminated on the dash. However, the water temperature gauge seems to be working (after some driving, it will move up and read like 170°). I've looked through the wiring...

I'm wanting to create a bench seat to replace the middle seat of the LMTV. There is 31" between the driver and passenger seats, and I was wondering if anyone knew of a bench seat from another military vehicle that is that width (or very close)? It would be a lot easier to modify an existing...

Pic was really showing my battery charger mount, but you can see the old beast in there.

Anyone happen to know the rebuild kit part number for the old "finned can" style one?

Under what circumstances does the "intense exhaust heat" happen? Is this something that creeps up and causes failures? Is it something you have to be careful of when doing more heavy use, like towing heavy trailers? Should everyone be interested in putting on these gauges (and why aren't they...

What does monitoring your EGT tell you, as the driver?

I was surprised. I took every suspension zerk off, and every one of them allowed grease to flow, but only one joint (installed on the truck) will actually take grease.

The 10mm grease fittings I listed above are the correct type for my 1997 M1078 (for the suspension). I changed them all today, but still can't get grease to pump through the various bushings. Do you need a higher than normal pressure grease gun?

That's the wrong torque (more correctly, those are the wrong bolts, not the ones being described here), but you're on the right track. A couple pages forward or back from that is where it talked about the flexplate bolts to the ring gear. I just had to install them a couple weeks ago, when I...

I just thought I'd share this. One day I was looking at my cargo canvas top for the LMTV, folded in my garage next to my ULCANS camo net in its carry bag, and I noticed how they were basically the same size. I bought an extra ULCANS storage bag off eBay for $20 shipped, and it's the perfect...

I love my Genius charger. I have the GEN4 4-Bank 40A On-Board Battery Charger, which I built a mount for right on the back of the battery box.

I'm going to try these... Grease Fittings (M10 x 1 mm Male, Straight, Zinc-Plated Steel) McMaster 1105K73 Grease Fittings (M10 x 1 mm Male, 45° Elbow, Zinc-Plated Steel) McMaster 1105K79 Grease Fittings (M10 x 1 mm Male, 90° Elbow, Zinc-Plated Steel) McMaster 1105K78
