You PCB is failing and causing your issue. Give it some love taps with a hammer to see if it turns off with the levers in the off position. Replace at when able . Also, Jbulach is correct with his ground diagnostics. It's working as intended. Ground is a ground in this regard. Remove both.

Tires: inspect for weather cracking and make a judgement call. Cracks on the sidewalls are a no-go. Minor surface cracking on the thickest part of the tread can be acceptable but should be changed soon. Front tires must be the best tires for safety. Drive safe, drive slow(er) than normal. Air...

Hello fellow M10A owner! Good looking units and the solid green one was probably a Tooele Depot rebuild I'm guessing (I had two). These machines are tough but some parts are hard to find. Oddly enough, some parts still make their way out of surplus so grab them when you can. I'll keep one in the...

I knew Jimmie and I have a friend who helped him sell his estate MVs. If you want a closer inspection of the M109 let me know. I'm in Dallas so if you're passing through and need help I'm available.

Make sure you change the default cruise control speed from 255 mph. Not like it would ever reach that even falling out the back of a plane. rofl

Get it to Wes's place near Memphis, TN and load it on my Globe trailer. It's coming to Dallas which is about 45 minutes away from Corsicana.

I like that chart and it confirms my feelings on ECO hubs - the 1:1 ratio is too tall for our trucks and isn't worth the compromise in my opinion. ramdough has it right with his 3.07 gears as the Cat 3126 recommended highway cruise rpm is 2000rpm for economy up to 2200 rpm for performance. Max...

He made it home safe yesterday. I don't want to steal his spotlight so we'll wait for his post.

I touched base with InvictusDecretum 1800 and he is over 400 miles in with no major problems. I'm trying to keep Murphy occupied for time time being.

We are rooting for you.

Hey, we agreed no names here. Before you know it some guy in black will be knocking on my door and ack-!!

It was delisted for what ever reason. The system doesn't like it when items are "pulled" or "pushed" day so I'm told.

With the truck off both axles spin free. It's on jack stands now and I can manipulate them by hand easy. I can try the friction enhancer as I swap TCMs. CAn't hurt at this point.

I recently acquired a 98' M1078 with the WTECIII. It has an issue which I believe is focused on the transfer case (mechanically). The truck will start and go into gear, both Drive and Reverse, but it will not move. The transmission engages appropriately and puts a load on the engine but the...

It was a shift in Army mentality based on personnel and expenses. Less fresh recruits were able to drive a manual and the long term expenses of this was something they aimed to reduce. There is a publication out there (I'm racking my brain for the technical name but basically a military...

You can petition to change the body at any time during the title process and after title issue. You fill out a 130-U and file it as a "correction". If it's reasonable they'll take it or request additional documentation.

I've had to change the HMMWV body style "HEAVY DUTY" to LL or PK to make it fit the system but I've not seen a body style change beyond that in person. I have changed FMTVs from "ST" (Stake Bed) to "FB" (Flat Bed) without any issue. It has been as simple as stating the desired body style on the...

There is a code book at my local tax office that states a FMV can qualify without limitations to "year, make, model, country of origin, body style, etc" which was VERY broad. The vehicle must be of military origin, look military (simply put), and have a texas title. I've come to the same...

I'm going to debate titled body style vs identified body style for registration purposes. It's more flexible than most realize and the state's take on this has shifted of the years. I deal with this literally every week and get calls about military vehicles coming through the DMV as subject...

It's a good line up this month! Too bad if it were an actual line up my M915A4R2 would leave yall in the dust.. literally. ;) She's got an angry Big Cam 400 with 450~ hp @ 1980 ft/lb, double OD, and 103 mph GPS verified top speed. @simp5782 has put her through the paces many times from coast...
