    Seals around the axles - where best to buy?

    Yea the driveshaft RPM at our angles is way past the red line at highway speed. Operating an engine past its peak torque RPM is like driving with an exhaust brake engaged due to the increased pumping losses, which is why users are noting significant increases in mileage with the hubs...

    M1083 '98 Alternator/regulator troubleshoot.

    Yea the alternator relies on a good connection to a series wired 24v battery And the 12 from the middle.. as mentioned check ALL the connections. one way to confirm connections is to take actual voltage drop measurements. You need a piece of wire long enough to reach between battery and alt...

    A1 Exhaust Reroute

    It covers such a small segment of the frame and ties neither fore or aft into the structure anywhere to form any triangles(no triangles, no structural enhancement), I don’t see it providing any structural enhancement, in fact all the holes they put in the frame to spread out the lifting load...

    A1 Exhaust Reroute

    I posted a vid testing a PACBRAKE PRBX valve in my shop. Nothing being hidden here:) I am going to put it down where the joint is located at the muffler inlet. its a little less cluttered/crowded there than up at the turbo outlet, especially considering my altered intake routing to get the...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    All weather pen, MRE Tabasco bottle and some chapstick:) For oil return, there should be a plugged port just above the oil pan lip along the block, and cat put dipstick ports in all 4 corners…

    A1 Exhaust Reroute

    If you move the tailpipe venturi to the vertical exhaust stack? I would think it should still work OK. If the vacuum flow is enough to pull the particulates horizontally across the particle separator gallery it should have no problem to eject them out the pipe as high vac is caused by high...

    A1 Exhaust Reroute

    If its what I am thinking of, a single director that pulls air in around the peripheral of the air filter housing and a place for dust to fall out to a catch point at the end is a common item on tractors. The one on the LMTV is a little different. It has a series of smaller high velocity...

    A1 Exhaust Reroute

    Its not an exhaust gas return. Note how the tailpipe is crimped in where that tap is located? The tap goes into the pipe and turns down stream into the crimped area. Thats a Venturi and creates a vacuum on that line. It is connected into the middle of the particle separator module above the...

    Functional wheel valve after CTIS removal (?)

    Well the original scope of this thread was discussing deleting CTIS completely. And putting a schrader core in the wheel stem. In that case the banjo is unnecessary and is replaced by a standard 5/8 fine thread bolt inserted to fill the hole in the hollow stud. now if you are talking about...

    Signal lights, hazard and brake lights don’t work

    Yep, It does matter as the base power for the flasher module for use by the turnsignals is provided by the hazard normally closed contacts when in the hazard off position. When you select hazard on, it provides power from a different source, but one that still must be authorized by the...

    LMTV FMTV front axle outer seal replacement

    Yep, seal washer and bushing on either side of the ujoint(outer end of axle housing/inner end of spindle tube) IMO if you are going to pull the hub down to the point where you can access that inner spindle bushing and seal, you can pull the axle shaft, overhaul the ujoint and do at a minimum...

    Possible bad alternator

    Exactly! I have never seen topically applied RTV seal anything, except the moisture inside the connection:)

    Headlight switch or lights Electrical question

    well if you had high-beams selected/on when it was cycling, the dash high-beam indicator would cycle with the headlights going on and off, either caused by the light switch or by K-07 cycling... Did you jumper 30-87 on K-07? that will effectively bypass the light switch and test all the other...
