    FMTV Air Conditioner Hybrid Completed Installation

    Good call parallel flow condensers are up to 40% more efficient than tube and fin. When I replaced the old outdated Red Dot tube and fin condenser in our A/C kits with a parallel flow unit, we saw an 18% decrease in condenser outlet temps, and a 10% decrease in evaporator temps.

    LMTV Alternator Disaster, engine now catastophic

    Its not that caaterpillar makes special bolts its that the sizes are close enough to be able to use both sae and metric tools. 16mm is close enough to 5/8 as is 11/16 with 17mm and 3/4 with 19mm, 7/16 and 11mm, and 13mm with 1/2.

    Yikes thats a big shame! Do you knoe what failed? The only thing I can think of on that side of the engine that sees oil pressure is the turbo oil supply line.

    Bad drive shaft?

    Those shafts can be rebuilt so to speak, retubing a shaft or resplining one is quite a bit cheaper than buying an entire shaft new.

    How many lockers to use for a 6WD M1088?

    If there is no power to the rear axle without mode being activated then what is the purpose of the interaxle differential in The center chunk and why does the rear axle rotate if the center axle is held stationary?

    Bought LMTV... and Got Hemmet Cab

    Yup pretty much. They offered I default on the cab I have there, with a full refund, but I would be liable for the default fee. (25%). Regarding the 5 delivered this weekend... I'll have to sue. Sadly I paid with other means and not a credit card. I called the site manager and he said sorry...

    How many lockers to use for a 6WD M1088?

    According to Dana and Meritor literature (not specifically to the RF611 axles), both rear axles are always powered speed is allowed to vary via an inter axle differential. When engaged the power divide will lock that differential. https://www.quora.com/Which-axle-drives-a-tandem-truck Being...

    I'd suspect just a few LMTV's worth is what it costs.

    No they didn't loose the contract. GL just doesn't give a flip. The M1088A1 cabs are used, not new like the M1157's they supposedly have. Scott

    Bought LMTV... and Got Hemmet Cab

    Lucky you... I bought 10, received 5 and they aren't anything as described (new 2009 etc) , used missing parts, damaged etc. Thankfully they are part of the email admitting their mistake.
