    Eco Hubs and 3.07's - in a 2000 M1088 with a 3126 (~24k pounds)

    Can you list your engine model/HP and the total weight of your vehicle?

    New M-1083 owner. So, here we go!!

    So all the other damage was done taking it off? On the forward side of the filter where the hard line from the lift pump enters the filter, there is a T fitting. Hook up a 100PSI gauge there and check the base fuel pressure there. You may have a regulator issue or clogged return path to the...

    Yes you can have cab air on when you lift the cab. The air springs have internal shock absorbers that limit their travel…

    Did I just buy a 2023 LMTV M1078A1 or not?

    They listed the wrong engine in the one I got, they gave me a grand back:)

    Introducing Tortuga

    The leak location does sounds like the cab air ride height valve. if you look in past the front of the air filter, you should see a blue-grey box about 2” square with a lever in the middle pointing forward(9 Oclock). The lever attaches to a link rod that goes up to the arch that has the cab...

    Introducing Tortuga

    What year and version truck(A0, A1)? You only need to run the pump far enough to get over the balance point when lowering, gravity does the rest. When raising, how full were the air tanks? With full tanks(125PSI), you should be able to raise the cab twice...

    In need of how to determine the correct year of a LMTV?

    Also as mentioned, S&S has been gone for a while. You should be able to find a history online of the LMTV contract and production(dates and manufacturers), that show that it is not possible for them to have produced this vehicle in 2023… Allison should also be able to confirm production date...

    In need of how to determine the correct year of a LMTV?

    Yea I would go with the VIN info lostchain listed and a reference for how that Information is broken down. You could also pull up your engine info by entering the serial number into cats website. That should give you the build configuration and production year information for the engine. That...

    Wire loom battery conections.

    See those metal tags? You should be able to ID the wires with them and associate the wires to their use. Not including the nato plug wires, you have 4 main power wires. 24v to starter solenoid. 24v to polarity box 12v to polarity box Ground to starter motor housing(and on to frame via...

    NO Power to 1078A1 LMTV

    Yep, 12 and 24v measured to ground on those large manual switch and disconnect relay terminals. Remember, voltage is only good when measured good with load applied. A nasty high resistance connection will still pass full voltage until you try and pull current thru it. That 12V measured on the...

    Charging Failiure

    Well worst case a 100ah group 31 wet cell bank will try and draw 25A. If it is charged, the load will be nothing significant. Lighting load is 10-15A@24V. Not sure what the rest of the loads total up to @24v... so best case probably within its limit, worst case slightly overloaded...

    two small metal teeth on transfer case drain plug

    That bearing is behind the C6. In order for those parts to make it out of that rear housin to the strainer, they had to pass thru the C6 clutch. I would expect when you get the C6 off the back of the trans, you will find similar damage as that documented in the thread linked above... it cost...

    Highway speed gear 3.07 vs 2.87

    Is the mog an automatic? Remember this truck was not built for a commercial application. It was built to meet a MILSPEC. In the land of milspec, often serious compromises are acceptable, and often not even looked for/tested… A prime example of this on this same platform, is the grossly...

    Highway speed gear 3.07 vs 2.87

    Your not really dropping the 2:1, you are shifting it to the torque converter, which is so lightly used in these trucks typically because of the 2:1 in the hubs. IMO, Thats why the 2-3 shift happens so fast and so harsh(The lockup clutch was programmed to expect more load and slippage). With...

    Eco Hub install

    In the manual… Cycling the power on till you get a trans display, then off, 6 times in a row should do it. On the 6th power on, fully depress and release the gas pedal so the TCU can relearn the throttle min and max positions, then press the start button and go drive it. i think this is as...
