    1078 won’t start

    Can you ask the previous people that worked on it what was the original issue? If the WTEC showing cats eyes was the original problem, they went down the wrong road. Since now they have jacked around with all the wiring, many additional issues may have been introduced. Nevertheless, if it...

    1078 won’t start

    Well that is why your truck won’t start, if the WTEC controller isn’t happy it will start inhibit. Get the WTEC up and happy with no codes and she will crank normally with any luck.

    1078 won’t start

    What is the code? Do you have access to the Allison troubleshooting guide? What year is the truck?

    NDT 9.00-20 tire lifespan

    They seem to last forever age wise. I have some 1964 Gates tires on my truck that are still going strong. Mileage wise, on the front, they can wear out in a few thousand miles. Usually the tire will show signs of impending disaster, like vibration, cracks, bulges etc, that you should be...

    Do I need all these wires?

    You definitely need the smaller wires that power the transmission controller.

    Rack in between front seats

    Yeah if the HD is wiped then all you are getting is the caddy which is needed to adapt the HD to the CPU. The HD is nothing special. Not even solid state.

    LAS VEGAS_BRAND NEW M1097R1 owner- Any tips?

    Personally, I run Delo 400 15W40, Rotella is great too. There is a lot of confusion and opinions on coolants, I use the Prestone "all vehicle" stuff.

    LAS VEGAS_BRAND NEW M1097R1 owner- Any tips?

    Well I looked at it on GP and I think you got a gem. Recent rebuild at Maine Military Authority. An Army HMMWV not USMC. Not cannibalized in any way. Demil limited to removal of radio equipment. Runs like a swiss watch. I see no leaks. The 40,000 miles showing does not look accurate...

    The next Project an ASMH

    The museum should consider “destination wrenching” events where people like me could spend 3-4 days out there working on stuff.

    1944 M20 Armored Car hydraulics

    If it comes to this, this business in Houston can manufacture anything seal related out of any material. They make packing type seals for me constantly. www.ctgasket.com

    1944 M20 Armored Car hydraulics

    You must be using DOT 3 brake fluid. Switch to DOT 5 and never have to rebuild again ever.

    1944 M20 Armored Car hydraulics

    Wow that’s bad news. None of those guys had any advice for this? Back in the day, you could take the master cylinder casting number into a NAPA store and get kits. I remember the clutch master cyl was the same as a brake master on forklifts and the brake master is the same as a CCKW or M135...

    Must Have's for New Deuce?

    Suggest you visit with War Fox Equipment in DFW aka fuzzytoaster on here for your truck. Boyce is too far away, transportation will add thousands to a deal with them.

    Government job

    So you want to move from paradise to Georgia? OK. I can tell you about the Army's equivalent operation at Red River Depot in Texas. You will be a cog in the wheel of an operation that takes worn out and in need of upgrade vehicles such as HMMWVs and MTVRs straight from USMC. All day long...

    Government job

    Is this an active, civil servant, or contractor position? Where is the depot? Is this a mechanic position or management? Kinda need to know those details to provide the insight you are looking for.

    New to Me M923A2

    Suggest you have oil analysis run on the fluids and if everything comes back good, nothing is required to be changed. Engine takes typical 15W-40 heavy diesel truck oil.
