Clean the sensors and reinstall. They almost never go bad. I've never had to replace one. They are mildly magnetic and do pickup ferrous dust and shavings from the brakes and the road. The sensors just pull out the back. Wipe them off, inspect the hole with a flashlight and then reinstall and...

All you really need to accomplish this is a ridgid floor pan for the habitat that duplicates the mini-frame that is bolted directly to the floor of the M1079 van box. It's made of 3" x 1/4" wall "C" channel. As long as the floor is capable of ridgidly supporting the box when it lifts one corner...

Hell it's my daily anyway so here ya go: Front: Rear:

Search. Lookup how to use Google to search within web sites like this FMTV forum. "M1079 van mounting", "M1079 pocketed springs", etc. Google image search, etc. Basically the habitat itself is ridgid enough to be air lifted on it's own from its four rings on the top corners. It is mounted to...

Here's an idea. Copy what the military did on the 1079/1087 and have none of these issues. No floor hump. No torsion problems. No height problems. Plus it's been real world tested by the largest military in the solar system for 30+ years. 🤷

Yeah I would straighten that and not worry about it at all.

Replace the u-joints when you have the driveshafts rebuilt. You NEED to have them rebuilt. Chances are good they will tell you that one or all of them are trash and need to be outright replaced. Don't waste new grease on junk. Just pull them and have a competent driveshaft shop go through them...

Read the -10 like a good little operator.

That's the correct part. Post pics of your situation. Likely you're doing it wrong or looking at the wrong sensor.

Same thing. Haldex owns Midland. All FMTV's use the same compressor.

Very often it's just dirty switch/relay contacts, capacitors that need to reform (radios, etc), and the like. Just USING the vehicle you will often notice that things start working on their own after a little bit of operating time.

It is pressurized. Not particularly to withstand any specific attack though it would probably help in terms of NBC. The real concern is the missile exhaust gasses and the dust kicked up by the launch. Some of these missiles can travel like 300-400 miles. The AC system would be running in...

Perhaps AC was generally ordered by HIMARS units to install along with the cab cause the one's I have seen did have it though it must have come separate from the cab - the surplus used HIMARS cab I have doesn't have any HVAC components left in it as they would have been swapped into the LSAC cab...

You will find MANY unused connectors on every vehicle made in the post-WWII era. The wiring harnesses are built in a modular fashion and connectors are added so that features can be added or subtracted depending on how the vehicle was ordered and in some cases the connectors are supplied for...

Correct. They are expansion valve systems. The earliest AC I believe was developed for prototypes and I think was always an option but just one the military rarely ordered till the HIMARS Crew Protection Cab was fielded around 2001. Those all have AC out of necessity as do all armored cabs...

Haldex RNT26

I would caution that the CAT water lines have flexible stainless braided sections to account for thermal expansion between the 1200 degree exhaust and the 200 degree engine. Hard piping it like that is asking for a stress fracture near one of those fittings.

Yep. The coolant lines for it are the fun part to track down. CAT can get them though some are special order and you have to wait for them to make you one. The M-ATV is actually the 370 HP variant of the C7, and the more common source - over 10,000 have been built. The Stryker uses the 350 HP...

Very sad for the employees. BAE was defrauding the government though. The DOD sued them. U.S. Sues BAE Systems, Alleging Overcharging Army For FMTV Materials - Defense Daily https://share.google/T4MbfKhgKOiLV50vn So you can thank the British for screwing over Sealy TX.

The software is a free from Dana and runs on anything back to Windows 98. Then you just need a laptop and heavy-duty truck diagnostic interface - Dearborn DPA-IV or DPA-V is my preference...... As to who specifically - you can send me your module if you like.
