    I thought the curb weight on these was just under 25,000#, 3,000# is a lot of what?

    Looking for M1078A1 ABS troubleshooting guide

    Since pulling the pins off the M939A2 we have had no electrical issues. Dana software works, J1939 and J1708 busses work. All good, just went through a few resistors while figuring it all out—

    R model FMTV Schematics

    Welcome. Not many -A1R's out running loose in the wild. I think you need the MIL software for A1R TM's still?

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Well I planned to go to a friend's shop, but have a brass drift. Always good to see a friend though. Here is this morning's work. Putting the left rear back together. Did something really dumb: flipped the wheel hub over while holding a new CTIS seal in my hand. Crushed it. There goes $50...

    I am still wondering how long it was like that. We have at least 4,000 miles since purchased. More since we did EcoHubs early and just recently received the reflashed ECM from you. Thank you. I like those rolls too, will have to check the grit of what I have on hand. Another point of...

    I wanted to avoid removing material, focusing upon the deposits of what I think was burnt grease. Fortunately the bearing didn't score the spindle—

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    The part I haven't figured out: The ungreased bearing and CTIS taking on gear lube are unrelated? The MV gods saved my spindle?

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Soaked in parts solvent; cleaned up with parts brush, scotch brite hand pad; finished with safety razor. How can I do better? I went ahead and ordered a new race, if I am awaiting a bearing why not replace the race, too?

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    The spindle and inner bearing race cleaned up pretty well, feels smooth and silky. There is one spot on the race I don't like the feel, though spinning our good inner bearing in it sounds right when compared to spinning in the other inner race. The ungreased bearing sounds bad and feels...

    When packing our 4x4 vehicles we use this small pail from NAPA: I didn't even think about a MilSpec, just grabbed another pail off the shelf. Specs "Aluminum Complex, NLGI #2 Grease, Water Resistant, Superior Rust & Corrosion Protection, Typical Drop Point 470 Deg F"

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Went ahead and pulled the left rear. Inner bearing packed thank goodness. Isn't that odd? Just dropped the right side hub and bearing in parts cleaner to soak a bit before cleaning up for inspection; the left side looks good. Headed into town for some scotchbrite pads and such to see...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Pulled the right rear to replace all the seals since the CTIS is showing gear oil at the banjo bolt. It looks like that may have been a blessing. In inner bearing and hub seal look miserable. We'll clean it all up in the morning to start planning next steps. Hoping the spindle cleans...

    Niehoff N3030 Regulator/ M1078/ doesn't have flashing light capacity

    We disconnect batteries when working on starters and alternators, believing the greater risk is to electrical system if the disconnect is flipped on a whim. I'd rather buy an alternator than an ECM—
