Thank you sir!

Someone told me that a failure isn't a failure if you can repair it with the set of tools and spare on board. Well, this is the second failure that it was impossible to repair on site.... After a 5 miles run the transmission did not shift down anymore on turns. Seemed strange to me, but when it...

Got hooked up because I lost 17 litre of transmission oil. One thread on the transmission for the coolant pipe fitting was gone. I was able to pull the fitting out with the hand. My truck had the metal tubes from trans to cooler, 3 years ago I changed them to flex pipes after that one tube broke...

Price is not definite, but they are talking about 2000$ per differential... Christian

Hi guys... I found a company that maybe can build a Torsen differential for rear and front axles. The only thing is that minimum is 10 lockers. I need 2 of them for front and rear axle. Anyone intrested? Christian

But all Steyr trucks have Steyr (and now MAN) axles, and not Meritor / Rockwell... Regarding to a company I know it's not a big problem making a arb locker for our axles. Problem is the first investment to take to create the first locker. I think there are other Rockwell / Meritor axles with...

There are 2 types of wheel valves, for 4x4 and for 6x6. They have diffrent part numbers and max pressure. But the QRV should be the same on all LMTV models. What happen if you don't use the hwy mode, but the xc mode? Is the system more stable than? Christian

There shoud be a line between PCU and front bumper. It's used to depres the entire system quickly and is connection the the control valve of the PCU. Got a truck where that line was not free and system was not depressed fast enough. Initially I had a ECU from a 6x6 with higher pressures. One...

Thank you sir!

Hi there! Anyone knows where can I find the plug with or without cable for the warning light kit? I want to use the the socket back on the cab on top to power a LED bar in front. But I need the round 4 pin plug. Anyone knows a part number or where can I get it? Thank you! Christian

The snow tires are from a french company that retread Michelin XZL tires. There was a long discussion on FB with Sean Fillner and Ken Spencer, but I got no news if some company want to import them in the US... The company mainly produces the tires for airport firefighter trucks, I must admit...

Thank you sir! Christian

News from the other side of the ocean... ;-) This winter is not only for Covid diffrent than others. We have a lot of snow in the mountains, so I got the chance to test the snow tires and the chains. Tires works very well, it's a huge diffrence between the Goodyear tires and the snow tires...

Do you hear the PCU valves working? Maybe somone change wheel valves and put 70psi instead of 85psi wheel valves on the front axle? Happen to me at beginning of my LMTV journey... Christian

Some news from the front :) Due travel limitations here in Europe the only way to get out of this crazy world is to try finding a spot where you don't see no one all day, and to find out what is important for you. I love working on our truck, trying to optimize until I discover that before was...

I have only 2 batts left, but connected to a balancer, to keep both at the same level. Maybe its really only the start button. I will keep an eye on it. Christian

Yes, maybe. At second try starts without problems. Maybe keep it in mind and see if happens more frequently in next time.. Thanks you help! Christian
