If your parking brake is not activating, the check valve located behind the front bumper under the emergency glad hand may be bad. This check valve sends air to the emergency air chambers, from the vehicle's air source or the pulling vehicles air source through the emergency glad hand. I've...

You are missing some stuff.

Not much of an issue if your CTIS works.

Just a warning about buying surplus rubber bushings, they will likely be outdated (hence why the government sold them).

The LMTV system is grounded to the frame of the vehicle, so anything else grounded to the frame will have the same ground. If you don't ground it to the frame you will have zero potential.

The parts number starts with a 171 which is the first gen golf (rabbit) and I had a 1982 for the longest time. However I suspect that the plug is the same throughout the model years. The fans do look the same, but I've not found part numbers off it.

The LTAS trucks got a 240 amp alternator if I am remembering correctly. The 200amp was a retrofit for the earlier trucks.

I was servicing my M1088A1 and noticed that the Aux transmission cooler fans looked somewhat familiar. S&S used the connector from a 1982 VW rabbit and might also use the same fans!

I've wondered if it were possible to get more gears from the 3070 by using different combinations of shifting elements. Most auto manufacturers have done this with minimal hardware changes to the actual transmissions.

There are 4 plastic clips on each door, and they hold the rod to the internal lock mechanisms. The other end is usually mechanically held in place but the rod itself. They are number 22 in this illustration.

There is another 800 rpm or so to be had with regards to driveshaft speed before the equations put things out of the safe zone. The vast majority of LMTV driveshaft issues are the result of worn out slip yokes or imbalanced driveshafts. However Driveshaft speed is determined by the road speed...

I've tried 30 different samples of those lock pieces from a dozen manufactuers and none worked. I ended up getting them from Steyr.

I stock those plastic pieces, and they are white now. However they are expensive little buggers. There was also someone who had those lever pieces cast. I'm working on a billet steel replacement.

I've not heard of being able to add an 8th gear to the 3700SP, can you provide additional information?

I recall seeing the Ad, asking price $150K or something along those lines..

That's cool. It didn't come from the government, it was probably sold when BAE sold off the plant.

2008 is probably the newest truck one can buy from the government. They started the up armor program in 2009 and the government doesn't sell armor to the public in usable form. A few newer models have been sold but not through the regular channels.

None of my trucks have that hole

Stronger brackets may certainly fix the bracket breakage problem, but that will move the failure to the next weakest link. An engine block is far more difficult to repair..

Good luck my research has shown little to gain other than spending a bunch of money.
