4lb drilling Hammer to the back edge to knock it free from the shoes. Don't tickle it. Beat it like your mother-in-law.

Not sure on the A0's WTEC-II, but on the 3126 and C7 trucks, the ECM value for PPM (pulses per mile) is 62,618 (or 31.309 with ECO hubs). It seems..... odd to me that the older truck would have a higher PPM number unless it's looking at a different sensor/trigger wheel or it's being adulterated...

The older trucks use a type 10. These would be for the A1R trucks with the Bendix pedal assembly.

They are not all the same depending on year/revision and also aren't easy to find since these are wedge brakes and the commercial industry stopped using them 30+ years ago. The rear's changed from type 10 to type 12 with the Bendix pedal change on the A1R. Different cans entirely. And there's...

Sounds like it was poorly engineered - probably not a factory or commercial/military habitat. TONS of builders out there and probably MOST don't know how to do this the right way. (genuine) M1079's and M1087's do NOT have that problem. Moving or stationary. Now some aftermarket habitat on a...

Yeah probably. I figured 5 but ended up taking 7. No significant break downs - one stop to change the voltage regulator, had a slight coolant leak that solved itself (truck had never seen cold weather operation - hose clamps needed a couple turns but stopped when they got warm), and then my air...

Interesting. If you want to get the fan cycling just hit the high idle button, leave the exhaust brake in warmup and walk away for an hour. Come back and flip the exhaust brake off and let it run at high idle as long as you like. The Army does this often weekly. Motorpool Mondays - start every...

Probably isn't going to make any significant difference. A block heater and oil pan heater will accomplish a lot more. Wider range of multi-viscosity ratings indicates larger quantities of viscosity modifiers.... These are molecules that coil up like a spring (or uncoil) when their temperature...

Synthetic tends to have better cold flow characteristics. I run Amsoil 15w40. 5k changes. 25k miles and zero issues but I'm running a C7. I have run into several references to 3126B applications (RV's for example) calling for 10w30...... Perhaps this was in part for the HEUI pump? No clue if...

Ah ok. That was most likely Will M. He is a member here and on the Facebook groups. If you message him here or on Facebook he will give you a better deal because eBay doesn't get 20%. Ya gotta ask till you get acquainted with our community. 😭

Absolutely. Do that! Transport is so..... Bleh. :cautious:

You do lose a bit of cred if you don't fly out and drive your purchase home. That's one of the best parts of the purchase and you only get one shot at that rodeo. (Per truck :sneaky:) It's a bit like this - if you can't get it home (and it isn't off-shore or a basket case pile of poop that...

This is the kit for the PCU: https://www.ebay.com/itm/266900579750?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=t8XMcCsnTCW&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=P_2U40P_QI2&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

You didn't purchase the fake Chinese wheel valves I hope? :rolleyes:

The only way that can happen (all four tires dump to wheel valve minimum), is for there to be air pressure in the control line from the PCU to the QRV's. Which means the spool valves in the PCU are sticking and letting wet tank air get into the control line keeping it at some pressure above the...

That is correct. The military had component level breakdowns for the later 900 series but decided to service the PCU as a complete assembly on the FMTV as it was too involved to have troops rebuilding them. Same situation with the air compressor, third members, transmissions, and lots of other...

You can swap the elbow and the CTIS valve assembly without losing much air. These tires hold A LOT of it and it takes a bit for it to dump out that little tube. OR you can do the bottle jack and complete deflate method. No one in the military does that. We just hot swap them.

They are supposed to have that unthreaded section - that is what the CTIS elbow seals against because there's no shrader core used if the wheel valve is installed and it needs that smooth area above the threads to seal with an o-ring inside the elbow. You have to push it past the seal to get the...

Getting more expensive by the month it seems like. Paid $43k for my late A1R and recently 1078 A1R cargo's in good shape are fetching $65k. I would expect M1079's to be between $35k on the A0 side, to $75k on the later A1R side. And the extra money is worth every penny when you compare the two...
