    HMMWV M1097R1 specific

    I dunno, my M1097R1 will go 65MPH all day & it's a 3spd. Had it pointing all the way down at one point, I think 72mph. Yeah, it's revved. I'll get a 4 speed truck for driving around more. Took it from Wilson County to Ft. Sam Houston and back in the interstate. Who needs an A/C kit with no...

    These are not the hoses this thread is talking about.

    Dealing with issues due to half-assed CTIS engineering.

    To anyone who stumbles on this, as @Suprman said above, the MME CTIS wheel valve assembly are copies and the biggest downfall of them is the hoses. Genuine Dana/Spicer ones use hydraulic hose with stainless steel wrapped in rubber. The copies are just heavy duty rubber, more like a fuel/air...

    Dealing with issues due to half-assed CTIS engineering.

    This! Ron did a great job finding the correct solenoid when we both were looking for a solution. When I made a video about the install, shortly after they magically purchased all stock in the United States & had it on their site. This was during COVID-19 shortages, so it took a lot of time to...

    Yeah, Bret can keep me busy at times. I annoy him enough with questions though, surprised he hasn't blocked my number. :ROFLMAO:

    I've thought about doing a pit like this when I make my next carport.

    Was really hoping this would work. At least we know now!

    MEP-803A Will no longer start seems to be fuel issue not sure how.

    Did you bend that tab on the rack to where it should be as previously suggested? Maybe your issue is in the solenoid itself, or the linkage?

    M1078 LMTV Fix-up Thread

    That is a mechanics chair/creepr for a lift. I ended up returning it because I was hoping it would recline enough to go under the truck, but it didn't.

    I got another LMHC & got it mounted up. It was NOS. Going to crate up the other one & prep it to sell.

    Looks like part of the crank seal to me? Did you put a new one on? I'm sure you mean inch lbs, not foot lbs. Just use that same spec on the other cover and use common sense going crisis cross.

    looks like the tab is bent that I've made an arrow to in the screenshot. Reference my video below & you'll see the vast difference in the gab between the case and that tab from my video to yours.

    MEP 802A & 803A Upgrades

    I made two separate listings since the past few months, almost all the orders people couldn't seem to get you order 2x of the brass tee's if you have an MEP 803A. Was spending a lot of time sending messages & changing orders.

    MEP 1040 Fix-up Thread

    Thank you for thinking of this thread & showing your unit under an unbalanced load. Seeing two units that have perfectly matching voltage on each leg, even with a slight imbalance, definitely makes me feel more confident in my conclusion.

    MEP 1040 Fix-up Thread

    Thank you everyone for the help. If I ever get somewhat caught up with other stuff here, I will fully take it apart and confirm. There are a few places that do rewinding in my area, so maybe I can have it rewound if that ends up being the issue.
