.. should work on each 6x6 axle too. pretty sure Outer hubs are same

on FMTV A0... what spares would one in worst case repair scenario need too have carried in a Faraday caged box to get back up running.... Tranny computer module?, and relay's to replace those in Power Distribution panel?. CTIS module?

are the designers of this hub system looking at it like the whole axle is tuff enough to eliminate (nominally) one half of OEM design; that was figured to be part of how the force's get shared thru out all the components?? ... or are they figuring the new hub will share the forces similarly as...

has nothing to do with gear reduction. Just strength of individual components. there is a 5 gal pail of sand.. if you pick it up with one hand to walk it 1000ft.... its not fun unless that hand is BEEEF strong...... if a buddy grabs the handle with you.... its less work on each person's hand...

Since an axle with outer gears, be it portal or gear reduction.... it is said the forces from the drive system are "shared" heavily between R&P and the outer gear system. Could be the hub design of this new setup may create that same effect???? Thusly, take measure with a temp gun your pumpkin...

uggg...... but this seems to be very different volumes of H20. on the trans oil test?? what was the % or other measurment they found in the trans oil?

interesting. With that quality work and your user name..... sounds like you are an engineer so went about it with a lot of thought. Still skeptical though.... How small is the FMTV ring , pinion, thus pumpkin size, compared to say the axles in a Kodiak with same engine and Allison?

Both rear axles are active all the time.... does not matter if locked or unlocked. How they act is controlled by the locker. the locker is not in one of the axle diffs. it is inside the between axles diff. (inside the Power Divider Box- the big chunk tied to middle alxe) That diff allows for...

or keep a spare trans computer and harness.... spare alternar, and other parts in faraday boxes (Galvanized trash cans with aluminum tape around seam of lid? )

what General says in https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/was-there-a-final-correct-answer-on-the-lm-fmtvs-being-emp-proof.213478/post-2498716 also one of the early EMP absorbing devices on the A0's ... or was it the A1.... everyone unplugged cause it caused issues. I forget the name of...

with a longer arm that folds in middle or so...... you could prior to lower... swing it all way out to the side... pull pins.. allowing hinge to knock the arm 90 degree that tires hangs from.... resulting in tire now sitting about exacly over the rear axle. As you finish lowering it...

I was thinking Creep by Radio Head and Just a Gigolo by Louis Prima, David Lee Roth, Louis Armstrong (Satchmo) and others. Very happy it was nothing like American Pie by Don McLean

since thought over time of folk fiddling with this we'd pretty much decided there is no pacbrake programing in the 3116 FMTV's (that spot in TCU was used for PTO programing or something to that effect? ) ...... thus was going forward with there is no such luck in that area and it will all have...

Hopefully you can find a sale on some cheeeeeeeeappp trans fluid for the flush process?

Did more research... there is discussion in here that as I understand it none of those 3 work if there is not enough pressure in the wet tank. Common issue it seems. Folk have to turn the valve on the air compressor up a little more so the tank can get to 120lb? That pressure is when the...

don't recall any discussion about them specifically either. hmmmm?

ahhhhhh...... so your referring the ones "under the cover of CITS's PCU manifold" found under the kick panel...... as mentioned in below thread https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/diagnosing-ctis-m1078.200074/post-2330655

poof

would this hold any gear from shifting up too? aka...... usable as manual button to access lock up like a Pacbrake programing would do automatically if TCU was programed for such?
