    FMTV M1078A0. Transmission Swaps

    Go to the home page on this group, under manuals find the LMTV M1078A0 manual set available there. Download TM 9-2320-365-34-2 from that group(download them all). various bits and differences listed by trans S/N in the transmission change-out procedures, but look at Appendix H. it has a chart...

    LMTV cabin fan not working

    Yep. CB23 feeds right to the control switch for the heater. With a volt meter you should see 24v on one terminal of the CB23 socket with the ignition switch turned on. What year is this truck? be careful overfusing, especially on the A1's with the circuit board power panel. fuses are...

    LMTV cabin fan not working

    That solenoid has a LED indicator in its plug that shows when it is receiving power. It and the solenoid itself should cycle on and off with the ignition sw. If there is more than ~85PSI in the wet tank the solenoid should send that air down to release the fan clutch when energized…

    well then it is either a power source issue or perhaps the solenoid is not working. what solenoid did you put in it?

    LMTV cabin fan not working

    A0 or A1? yea the diagram you showed is for the m1079 habitat box... the dash heater blower is powered from CB23 in the dash. 24v from power panel ignition relay to breaker, to dash switch, to fan motor and back to TB2(ground TB) in(under) the power panel to complete the circuit. CB22...

    FMTV M1078A0. Transmission Swaps

    there is a section in the tech manual going over proper configuration for transmission changeouts. I think it is in the 34-1 or 34-2 manual which you can get in the manuals section on this site, but it has been a while since i went over it. it was based on serial numbers if i recall. but as...

    1078 Brake problem

    Also confirm the shoes are on correctly. they are not symmetrical and stamped to indicate the adjuster end, and can be put on backwards... 3 of the 4 front shoes were on backwards on my truck when I received it from auction and it pulled like a SOB when brakes were applied.

    LMTV cabin fan not working

    Exactly what vehicle is this on? A M1079 habitat fan? what are you using for an AC source to the box and where/how is it connected? CB8 for that fan would be in the enclosure power panel in the M1079 box. Now if you are referring to the heater blower in the cab that should be ignition 24v...

    M1078 airline junction leak - what is it?

    Well the wet tank typically has feeds to-from: air dryer both service tanks via check valves(prevents backflow and crossover) ctis manifold and fan solenoid in the passenger dash hydraulic manifold for cab suspension governor on air compressor and front red gladhand check valve in front bumper...

    Hydraulic pump replacement - deleted the controller

    Well it is probably on the cross member where most of the brake components are located Above the rear axles. There is a 2 way check valve there that combines the primary and secondary service tanks to feed the anti compound valve which is a relay that provides air to the park springs. The anti...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Ok, starting to get the printer to behave for my new idiot light panel. getting there anyway… missing the islands in the O’s P’s and B’s on this test run, it will be printed on the colored filters which will keep those in place on the finished product.

    Wet..... Dry.... torque on lugs

    Exactly, and there is no real telling how much loss is in a planetary with 60:1 multiplication at this force level unless you build a jig and instrument to measure the actual loss(lever and scale to apply force in, lever and scale to measure force out). As mentioned it is also a little weird...

    Wet..... Dry.... torque on lugs

    I have never wet torqued lug nuts or done anything to wheel studs beyond cleaning them throughly… I found no indication that any lubricant was used on any of mine… You can use a multiplier to torque, but your margin for error in the final torque is a little higher I think, especially with the...

    Second fuel tank automatic switching.....

    As long as the valve can handle suction, many hydraulic valves are not very good at it... Have always liked the buddy tank concept as it keeps the fuel system to a dedicated tank and no valves. The main tank is vented thru the secondary tank and a basic lift pump transfers fuel from secondary...

    Looking to Purchase an LMTV

    Is the same with any pickup. For snow especially, you really want balanced axle weights. With a 1078, I think thats closing in on #3K of added weight…

    Odd voltage spike issue

    yea the bottom end of the cab strap behind the grill is a PITA to get at also. the one on my A0 didn't look as large as the ones Matthew has pics of. moving the frame end attach point, or the whole strap to an easier to service location like he shows, is a good idea...

    Odd voltage spike issue

    The one on the front of the starter motor is not easy to see. Easier from underneath I think…

    Odd voltage spike issue

    There should be a 1/2" braided strap from front of drivers frame rail running up behind the grill to the cab body near the front of the engine tunnel/hump. there is another one inside the cab that runs to the dash and yet another that runs to the power panel ground point and the main ground...
