I have noticed that I do not see very many FMTV/6x6 reporting the same issues of, torque converter bolts, c6 thrust bearing, cracked blocks, driveshaft seperatation, and other catastrophic failure that are present on the lmtv/4x4. It may be causation/correlation theory but a possibility that...

I recently installed my ECO hubs. Install, he process was pretty straight forward, removed bevel gears, retorqued spindle nut, installed split collars, installed adapter plates, then installed the hubs. The part I spent a while was trimming the snap ring for the rear axle, I used a file and a...

I think WIX makes a filter kit for the Allison 3000 series. I want to say the filters are the same for a 2” sump. https://www.wixfilters.com/Lookup/PartDetails.aspx?Part=212315 Also you can just go to an Allison dealer and buy the filter kit, make sure you have your SN handy. I think the...

It is not in the SN range, I would pull your screen for the transfer case to see if there is more material.

what is the SN of the transmission. I think it was an aluminum cage on the C6 thrust bearing. It was changed to a steel then finally to a composite based on the service letter.

How does the hub nut lock without the gears? The torque is less then 20ft lbs Also the torque from the axle is transmitted through the hub splines. Looks like your design the torque is applied directly to the wheel hub gear carrier attach bolts. I would imagine the design may be strong enough...

bummer… still below the factory cruise control speed threshold.

How the the outer spindle bearing lubercated on the steer axle? Is it oil filled or grease packed?

That is frustrating, I had to replace my output speed sensor. The sensor just by itself was $1k, I had to drain the oil just to replace the sensor. For some reason the wires to the sensor start to get stretched then the connector dislodges. Mine had a contact that migrated from the weather pack...

It is just three. Is the pinion still engaged? Also the starter to bellhousing mating surface is potted with RTV.

Do you have the bussman PDP modules or the circuit board PDP. I smoked my PDP by reverse current my relays shorting the fly back diodes. The diodes become an alternate electrical path over currenting the traces burning the potting off then eventually destroying the trace.

I have that same alternator, mine has a ripple of about .5v at idle. Since it is not a hard failure the niehoff manual does not have a clear troubleshooting step. Did your voltage gauge have a flutter before the alternator died?

Do you know the hose manufacturer? They should have a minimum bend radius. looks like for a Parker 426 hose a -6 hose Bend radius is about 5”. Bend radius can be different depending on working pressure. What is the line pressure...

I have a 1078A1 3126, I like the ABS system, it works well and seems to keep the tyres from locking. I live in Alaska when I first got my truck from auction it had a few ABS issues, I had to readjust a wheel speed sensor and have my ABS ECU to reconfigure. After that it works great, I did a...

i use the UH2-5. It has a set screw to position the contacts, it is very nice when you are working with a bunch of different pin sizes, the problem is it is easy to not position them right and get a badcrimp.

I like the deutch connectors. The barrel crimps are superior in my option to the weather pack fold over tabs. The barrel 4 crimp is what is commonly used in aviation circular cannon plugs. The style crimp tool I use is the AF8 with the universal positioner.

My option panel has a CTIS on/off switch, is it for that?

In the aircraft world we use F4 tape or silicone fusion tape works well. My favorite is red high temp. When we pot connectors we mostly do it on bonding straps. It needs a special potting material that does not cause corrosion. I typically don’t like potting because it is hard to remove if you...

I wish it was mine. It was the one I learned on so it is forever stuck in my mind. I have been having issues with my electrical system I cleaned all my major connections alt connections, block ground, pdp points, diode block connections, checked for shorts and rotated my batteries. I am having...
