  1. Third From Texas

    M1078A1 new to me ?

    I've seen damage like that caused from the forward ujoint grenading. It hits the pavement at speed and makes a hell of a show as it tears loose. If it were the front shaft forward of the transfer case, it's a far more expensive issue. But if that is what happened to this rear shaft...

    I forgot to ask, is this yours by chance? If not, it should be. LOL

    Diagnosing CTIS M1078

    Those pressures are normal (58 psi HWY, etc). Well, normal for the truck (not really the tires). You should land that ground, but it is redundant. You can raise those pressures and many here have. Solutions range from $10-a couple hundred. I went with the simple transducer swap. But...

    Need crash course in M1078 LMTV

    I've seen DLA and Gov Planet forklift drivers who can replicate that damage just as quickly. No problem :(

    M1078A1 new to me ?

    And a 2003 would be the 3126 not the 3116 CAT. A0 = 3116 A1 = 3126 (with a very few later ones receiving the C7) A1R = C7

    Yep. I've seen M1082 trailers where the CTIS was deleted from the rims. *pretty sure Colt is on here, his trailer came that way I seem to recall

    M1078 hydraulic leak on cab

    Rebuild kit is about $20. https://advancedautomotion.com/shop/product_info.php/products_id/804/osCsid/f36f0ri1gtdeeot6k2o9q6ge66 Or twice that if the vendor has any point of the compass in it's name. And it's a very small set of (some non-standard) rubber o-rings. So shipping should be the...

    Con: makes the cool-looking CTIS wheel covers moot ;)

    Need crash course in M1078 LMTV

    As I said, I've been thru the manual countless times. I have both hard copy and electronic. Never once have I seen it until Ronmar posted that image. Thanks

    Need crash course in M1078 LMTV

    For stowage? As in, if I ever need this I know where it will be? I know how to cage a break can, I've just never seen a place to store the bolt.

    Need help with Allison Pan Removal

    Likely a $20 part from Allison. Or a $200 surplus part (on the bright side it will have a NSN).

    Need crash course in M1078 LMTV

    LOL No seriously, there is a cage bolt holder on these trucks? I've been carrying a set in my tool box for years. Is there seriously a stowage place for them on the LMTV?

    Need crash course in M1078 LMTV

    Take a 12v charger. If there is a drain, it will be on the 12v side. And a 12v can charge each battery independently.
