    FMTV Air Horn Install

    I don’t know where you live but here in Florida mud daubers decided to build their mud nest inside the horns and ruined them. When I replaced the horns I put fiberglass screen on them. Just went big with the screen and used a zip tie to hold the screen on.

    Airbag over leaf spring.

    I did that on my thread Keith’s M1078A1 overland project on this site, page 6 and beyond. Now that I’m full time in it…it’s a must do thing. With our soft suspension it really helps on body roll.

    Front running / parking lights not working

    2003 m1078a1, I noticed today that my front running/ parking lights down in the bumper are not working. Rear running lights work and all the cab marker lights work, headlights work. The bulbs are good. The relay is coming on. I may have the interactive electronic technical manual on an old...

    Fmtv transmission and CTIS displays suddenly turned off

    After a couple weeks it did it again…..pulled the fuse panel cover off and sure enough the BO relay was on and only the stop light LED was illuminated. I pulled CB66 fuse and the relay turned off and everything was back to normal. I’ll be driving by Superman’s place and pick up an old style...

    Keith's M1078A1 Project Overland

    The original fuel tank is aluminum and was built very well. I would personally mount it the same way they did.

    Keith's M1078A1 Project Overland

    My smaller gasoline tank you’re referring to is not as deep or in other words it’s about 9” away from the frame, because of the spring hanger and other things. Also the short distance between the two L brackets that are attached to the frame are relatively close to each other which meant that I...

    Fmtv transmission and CTIS displays suddenly turned off

    Finally had time and opened the fuse panel and dash panel. The push button light switch does have a separate ground on it. When I turned the two different BO options on the only thing I could see occurring is the hazard relay LED turned off. None of the BO relays LED’s came on nor did I hear...

    Fmtv transmission and CTIS displays suddenly turned off

    I was referring to a persons night vision not night vision goggles. Where would the ground wire be in the wire loom or a separate ground wire to the switch chassis? Thanks Ron I’ll get in there and check those things out. When all this rain passes. But you’re confident that those are supposed...

    Fmtv transmission and CTIS displays suddenly turned off

    So I just tested that theory and selecting each different Black out option nothing turned the shift indicator/display off. Which that’s why it’s Red so it doesn’t bother night vision.

    Fmtv transmission and CTIS displays suddenly turned off

    I’ll check that and I’ll also turn black out on. But in black out mode shouldn’t things illuminated in RED stay on?

    Fmtv transmission and CTIS displays suddenly turned off

    Nope, I have the newer style that has the push buttons. Extremely difficult to just turn the stop lights on or service lights. And it just fixed itself while I was out checking tire pressure.

    Fmtv transmission and CTIS displays suddenly turned off

    Here’s the scenario, 2003 M1078A1 I’m driving down the beach at the north end of the outer banks NC where they have wild horses roaming around. I turned the CTIS on it come on normal, select XC it aired down as expected. About 1 mile into it I decided to air down to the sand settling again it...

    Gear oil level in axles?

    Basically the front hubs need to be filled a little below center of the axle.

    Keith's M1078A1 Project Overland

    I actually built an electric deployable version first that would work when the door was opened. But I felt it had too many parts and hung down more than I wanted it to. So I went with a simpler design that will never fail.
