I can't be sure from the pic but that may be the air vent for the CTIS. Does it vent only while the CTIS is going though it's system check? I was told from an ex-S&S employee that they would screw with "newbies" by blocking the vent during the system check and have the controller go into fault...

While the Pinzgauer has been overshadowing things the past few months, the FDT had the opportunity to be to at a Military Aprreciation night at a local speedway last month. And a couple of pics of some new recruits for gunners :mrgreen:

When I get back to one of my 'puters ,I'll pm you a link to a complete takeoff LVAD cab I knew of.If they still have it,,

M1078 bed, 144". JK 2 door Wrangler 153" And just to let you know. Stock JK is 72" tall +/-. iirc, the M1078 bed is at 58" from ground. It'll make for a 11' high package... or about 6" shorter than a M1079. ;)

I got a condensor among a bunch of parts a few years back. Red Dot could only tell me that it was a BAE specified item and nothing else (that was as much as the computer would let her access). Though my contacts, I was told it was for the FMTVs. The seller for those replacement units stated he...

I'm reposting this with an explanation to what and how the thermal switch in employed in the starter circuit. The jumper wire on the auxiliary starter relay in the photo is the grounding side of the trigger of the relay. Instead of going directly to a chassis ground, originally it is routed...

So your VIM was also missing on your truck? There is a way to start the truck, but I'm not going to tell anyone if they don't already know how to...:roll:

Start Inhibit button ONLY cut fuel to the injection pump. The starter function is not affected. Thermal switch inside the starter was a known problem on the FMTV and the factory were bypassing them. This thread has my jumper bypass for the thermal switch...

The start inhibit switch only cuts off the fuel , and resets with the cycling of the master power switch

Is relay K11 installed? Alternator Excitation Relay

Don’t overcomplicate these trucks any more than people already think they are. You have sensors for an oil pressure gauge and a low oil pressure light, and that is all they are and do. As I first said, I didn’t have any relays or CBs, so go back and make sure K1 is 24v and K2 is 12v. Also...

Thank you, it was a fun project that actually came out like I had envisioned it from the beginning! :shock: Unless they managed on hiding the VIM elsewhere, you need the WTEC III. If needed, I do have the wiring diagram to change from the II to the III. I haven’t studied it to see what’s...

The easiest way to find out if you're suppose to have a WTEC II or III is to have you remove the kick panel underneath the power distribution panel and look up at the sheetmetal under the distribution panel and see if you have a VIM. A black plastic box with "Allison" on it. If it is there, you...

The pic of the jumper is here. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?108761-Oops-I-won-an-m1088-tractor/page5 I also was wondering if you had the right relays with the right voltages in the right sockets. If yours is an older truck, it is easy to put the wrong voltage relay into the wrong...

First thought is the thermal switch in the starter is bad. In another thread is a pic of the bypass I did. S&S was aware of the issue and had done a similar jumper wire at the starter itself. Mine was easier. :) IF your truck has a 3116 engine, there are no computers to keep the engine from...

The British car meet has come and gone. It was well received by all, but confused the people who thought they knew Pinzgauers, with the same question of "what is an Austrian ( some even said German and Swiss:rolleyes:) vehicle doing at a British show?! Most accepted my history of SDP and ATL...

Read my post. FORD used the 3050 (5 spd)when the MDs first became available to Ford medium duty trucks (mid 1994)., motorhomes (w/ 230hp or more) used the 3060 (6 spd). (FYI) MHs with 190 HP diesel used the Allison 540 series trans (lacked lock up), so you'd lose 3 to 4 mph from geared speed...

They are all wheel drive, As also implied in my first post. The module that adds the axle front drive (transfer case), also has the 7th speed ( granny 1st). And just to say it: there is no hi /lo transfer case, just the additional low gear During my "resurrection" of the FDT, I read a lot on...

For those without the TMs. this is the description for the trans and operation

I'm sorry guys, but the links to current Allison trans is like using a current Ford brochure for specs on a on a 1990's Mustang.... they are not the same! I've avoided posting on this topic because I've been looking for the docs to support what I remember on the Allison World Class trans...
