    FMTV 3126 Engine options

    If you need any tech data I use TM 9-2320-312-24-2, it has been a good reference. I used it for my overhead valve adjustment and wiring in my cruise control, and diagnosing my fuel feed issue.

    FMTV 3126 Engine options

    The data plate is good info to determine if the crank was machined down and the bearings are oversized. The problem with oversized is that it removes a possible repair in the future if the crank has to be machined again. Most likely when it was overhauled, the crank was found to have a pit or...

    From fire truck to MTV

    your install of the heater looks nice, I installed mine in a box near the top of the camper. The head/suction pressure for the fuel was to high so I used a faucet lift pump off the troop heater to lift up to a fuel filter module and took the fuel off the return via a T fitting, for some reason...

    If you purchased any auto fuses for your FMTV on AMAZON, you better watch this fire safety warning!

    https://caraxfuse.com/specs, this is the brand I get, I have tripped them a few times, all seem to fail at reasonable levels. It looks like the company is based in Florida. They even light up when tripped.

    LMTV Allison Stall Test issues

    looks like a C1 and C5 for range 1 and C1 and C4 for range 2, I would also imagine he would get a failed ratio test code. There are codes for ones below lockup, do you think the TC stall test outside of limits would cause a ratio test failure.

    Battery Box Kill Switch Wiring

    Congrats on having the A0.5, I also have a year 2000, those trucks were kinda i between the A0 and the a1, they do not have any of the battery disconnect hardware. The wires run straight to the polarity protection block like the A0. The best option for a kill switch is putting a switch on the 24...

    Alternator 12 and 24 volt

    There is a guy on Facebook page that built 2 alt brackets with a 24v and a 12v. I think the issue again is balancing the loads.

    HEUI Troubleshooting - Injection Pressure Desired and Actual Mismatch

    Good work, sounds like quite a bit of work and thinking. The oil cooler warping is a really frustrating, it may be why your huei system was having trouble, hopefully fixing that will resolve your issues. I was wanting to use the Amsoil bypass kit, the filter has the micron rating that I wanted...

    Bad storm breaks everything...Low Power/Engine shutdown

    Sounds like your huei pump is getting starved of oil. I have heard reports of some oil pump failures on the 3126. What is your average oil pressure when warmed up and when cold?

    Webasto Heater?

    The heater is 13Kw or 45k btu. I keep forgetting that it is higher than 10kw.

    Webasto Heater?

    The one for the arctic kit is the 24v DBW 2010 It is a 10kw unit. The 12v units are common on school busses, they are called the webasto DBW2020 and 30 The school bus ones are orange and usually called the scholastic heaters. I don’t think they are every efficient in electrical or fuel for what...

    Webasto Heater?

    It is a nice unit, I am not sure it is worth the price point. On my truck it gets the coolant to about 50-60 deg at about 20 deg ambient, I am not sure it has enough power to heat the engine and get the cab warm. When I did that to test the unit the air coming from the vent is luke warm. I...

    Webasto Heater?

    It is part of the Arctic kit, I spent a couple of day installing one from a doner truck, there are two coolant valves under the skid plate underneath the radiator that direct coolant flow. You need to remove the valves and clean them before you use the heater, I didn’t and it overheated the...

    MEP-531a Aftermarket regulator/project

    Ran a test today, couple of hang ups, the 100w field resistor is to low, it got so hot I burnt myself on it and it melted some insulation on a wire touching it. Also I am getting a 120hz on my analog gauge vs 60hz on my multimeter. Generator worked great, provided consistent power and met the...

    MEP-531a Aftermarket regulator/project

    Spent some more time re designing. Disconnected my exciter system from the DC buss, I found out that the exciter was backfeeding line voltage onto the dc bus and using my Espar ecu as a ground path I found the Espar heater had a chassis ground of 18k ohms when the ecu was connected. I combined...

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    Are both plates tapped/threaded? I don’t remember from when I installed mine. If only one is tapped it would be a problem.
