    M1078 model year changes

    As a general rule of thumb yes but later production A1's are few and far between. The 1081A1 that was basically brand new from the factory with all the trimmings and was a non-runner sold for 20K + fees at auction. You'll find an earlier A1 much easier though still uncommon compared to the "A0"...

    M1078A1 - Crank no start

    There's space in the case so I bet it's doable. If anything one could take it to a dealer and let them clone the ECM then you do the swap and get it reflashed but that's $150-$500 depending who you talk to. I'm not sure if a warning light would do any good as getting the unit open is one thing...

    M1078A1 - Crank no start

    I sacrificed my bad ecm to look into that. The back of the case can be removed easily but the battery is on the front. Removing the board from the case will result in destroying the thermal epoxy on the switches and breaking the seals around the 70 pin connectors. Possibly baking it could result...

    M1078A1 - Crank no start

    That's what I've read and had been told. That's also why Cat now hard flashed ecms. The battery in the ecm is supposed to stay charged by the truck but if they go below 9v they will "die". I've read some forums where internal batteries have been leaking acid and failing within the first 10 years.

    M1078A1 - Crank no start

    Updating this thread for a final solution. The original ecm was dead and no indication as to why. I had spoken with HOLT CAT many times on the issue and it came down to replacing the unit. The issue was sourcing an exact identical ecm #239-3879-00 which was discontinued in 2003 along with...

    Did anyone get the one on GSA out of Riverside back on 2/07/18? It looked good but the steering column was in pieces. I missed the auction by 5 minutes. aua

    2018 TX MV Rally

    I should be there this year. On a side note, if Airbornebandsman doesn't make it is anyone going to San Antonio with some bed space? He has an LDS setup that he needs to get home.

    FMTV A2 Contract Announced by Oshkosh - 2021 Start Date

    It looks like Oshkosh took another bite out of the DoD pie. No mention of rebuilds in the article, wording suggests new production only. The A2 units look like an MRAP and an LMTV had an accident. Im going to call it a VOMIT: Vehicle Of Mobile Infantry Tactics. "The Family of Medium Tactical...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Wes dropped this "green gal" off about 3 weeks ago and I've been working on her over my lunch breaks. New fuel lines, new lift pump, remounted all tires, etc.. waiting on a replacement cab cover and some other minor parts. She's very clean looking like a late 2010 rustproofing. Some of the MWO...

    M939 with tac4

    I'm going to make an educated guess that the MTVRs in this thread are either MTVR1s or 2nd generation proof of concept with the new style suspension. The reason I say this is I came across a 5TTR, the 1st generation prototype, to overhaul the M939 series truck and some M809 trucks to extend...
