    Winch install question/issue

    I think a donut and soft shackle is the way to go… They seem to work well and are very versatile.

    Custom winch wiring.

    On an A1 that PTO enable signal from the trans(wire 112) to K37 is 24V. On an A0 that relay is in the VIM and gets 12V from the TCU along with the Neutral relay as the A0 TCU is fed 12V battery as a power source…

    Winch install question/issue

    And we're winching, winching, winching… (45 minutes later) and we are still winching, winching, winching… if you really need more force, you just throw on a snatch, you certainly have plenty of line for it…

    M1083A1 Electrical Maladies Starting at the Disconnect Switches

    If you put a duck-bill on it, you could put air to the top fitting and blow it down remotely with a shot of air after a fording:) My bell housing vent actually has a vent line attached, it was zip tied up into the mid structure I removed. It does not make sense though that they would remote...

    M1083A1 Electrical Maladies Starting at the Disconnect Switches

    Yes, you plug it so the bell housig with spinning TC, flywheel and ring gear doesnt fill with water. It having such a large seal and the starter bolted up, the odds that it will leak when submerged are high, so they added a convient drain and storage point for it. Therenis a vent point at the...

    M1083A1 Electrical Maladies Starting at the Disconnect Switches

    Any water in the transmission is a death senten Thats actually supposed to be a drain for the bell housing. It has a vent port up on the top. Even full of water it cannot pass from there to transmission or engine. If it could oil would come the other way, and when you find oil here it is...

    On the ECU P188 pin 52 and 53 are Battery 24 in and pin 70 should be 24V ignition in. Pin 65 and 67 should be battery -…

    Army engineering at it finest..

    Please trust me when I say I meant the term knuckle dragger in the most affectionate and loving way:) Permatex and RTV make a good gasket when the interface is designed/prepared for it(wide or grooved/stepped interface). But as a topical waterproofing, it is an abysmal failure… anyone here...

    M1088A1 - Crank , No start

    Well if it was the primary filter, it would cause running issues, as if it can hiss out, it can hiss in when the lift pump in the High Pressure Oil Pump puts it under vacume… sounds like you will need to engage a cat tech with the computer to try and talk to the darn thing. I would first make...

    Anti-freeze tire balancing ?

    Army engineering at it finest..

    Well I am guessing the permatex intent was for insulation and not weather proofing, to keep some knuckle dragger from shorting that very large unfused circuit to ground fed by a monster battery and burning up a truck:) The aux start relay on the frame is the old school way of dealing with the...

    Anti-freeze tire balancing ?

    Yea I think it was 38-40oz it works, but I am not sure it lasts. Recall one noteable video where they pulled a tire and there was only a fraction of the volume left that had been initially installed. And that was on a system without CTIS breathing Into he tires every 15 minutes. So YMMV. It...

    Radiator Cap alternate part number Stant/MotoRad 10230

    Anywhere in that range is fine. A psi more or less doesn’t significantly change your boiling point, and if you are that close to the edge you probably have other issues you should address:) Yea they took the fan control solenoid I researched($26) and did a youtube video on, and they added...

    M1083A1 Electrical Maladies Starting at the Disconnect Switches

    Yea thats the rub with salt water. You can spin it out in a centrifuge/purifier, did this daily on the last ship I was on. The normal way for us common folk is to let it settle and separate as much that way as possible, which is basically what a centrifuge does only faster(a little heat helps...

    Winch install question/issue

    Where exactly did you get fluid leaking from on the winch? There is a little relief valve above the winch motor… of course the planetary gear inside has some form of lube in it, what exactly, I am not sure. I am thinking the only way to get something out of the winch is to put something into...
