I'll be happy to send you my old one. It would make for a fine conversation piece sitting on your desk. ;p

Yeah, CTIS controller for LMTV. As it sits, it should work with any truck that uses the same Spicer controller as the LMTV. So if the M35's controller is interchangeable, so to would be this. Beyond that, you'd have to ask Plasa. What makes it special is that it does everything that the...

Yep, works awesome !

It certainly is at he bell housing but I swear I saw this as being part of the fording procedure. Plug it for fording, normal operation open (as pictured) to breath. But it wouldn't be the first time I remembered wrong. Of course I can't find a thing in the TM about fording procedures now... ;)

Here's a pic of the breather and the bolt retainer hole.

It's in the TM but it's easy to spot (assuming that it's on your model of Alison, but I'm pretty sure all LMTV have it). On the base of the trans there are two holes (both threaded, one will have a bolt in it). The first is a hole all the way thru that acts as a vent/breather. The second is...

. Ah, yeah. My bad. I was thinking of the airsoft pellets that people are always recommending for balance.

Here's a good read. It's more for the non-mechanic car owner, but it covers most of the bases: https://www.mistertransmission.com/water-in-the-transmission/

I think it's actually the adhesive used to adhere the asbestos to the clutch plate that fails when exposed to water but you get the drift. Easy enough to verify, just google "water in transmission fluid " and you should find no shortage of discussions. A lot of people were puzzled as to how...

I've never used them but they would certainly be preferred over antifreeze in my book. Of course, they are a bit harder to install. The thing that's always scared me off balance beads is that they turn to goo (melt) when coming in contact with any grease or oils. In theory there's shouldn't...

I realize that given the current cost of fuels (we're looking at you, Brandon) that it's hard to imagine dumping 50 gallons of diesel (ie: retasking for other burning purposes) but there is absolute no chance I would risk my CAT engine tinkering with it to actually run as fuel. No friggin-ing...

The issue there is (and one of the the reasons I say "zero" is the best amount to run") is that antifreeze becomes inherently corrosive over time. It becomes quite acidic as it's anti-corrosive ingredients break down, actually. Ever wondered why that in a closed-loop cooling system the coolant...

Yes The correct answer is zero. :)

I've seen a few. One was made from a hub (I think), one was 3D printed, and one looked like it was a production tool. Members here made the first two I mentioned. Here's one sold on eBay (out of stock, though)...

Pretty common after getting them good and wet. The shoes get stuck to the drums. Love taps with a 5lb sledge should do it.

Damn man, rough neighborhood. They stolez Chucky'z rimz !!!!!!

Ruh-roh

When you say "high water rescues" I immediately think.... "It just stopped running for some reason" ;)

Try and source civilian? What's the cross section look like? Stuff like that is always going to be better from the civilian market. I can only image the state of surplus NOS rubber that's sat on a dusty shelf for 50 years. LOL No doubt you can find plenty of products that will work...
