    Beating price of AC upgrade with Personal AC/heating system

    Yea I was going to build a center console that incorporated the A/C evap over that recirc port. The engine warms up nicely with that coolant recirc removed and the pump returned to its original back to block recirc configuration. This pretty-much requires a water pump replacement though as...

    Air Rupture In Cab - What Is This And How Did It Happen?

    Can’r tell did it come out of the fitting thru the floor, or the one above that on the 2way check valve a few inches above? those are called compression fittings. You need DOT approved ones on brake system somponents, I get mine from Napa, as mentioned, they now make push to connect and those...

    2003 1078 A1 derated ether start

    What fuzzy said, the bleed-down of the primary fuel system indicates a leak somewhere. If it is leaking it IS sucking in air! There is a primary fuel pressure test port between the HEUI pump and the filter on the side of the head. sucking air will show as dips/fluctuations in primary...

    M1088A1 Starting Issue

    That flapper only effects primer function, it opens when running to allow full flow/bypass of that primer bulb. you may have an air leak sucking air into the system. You need to hook up a primary fuel pressure gauge to test pri pressure. I show where in my fuel sys overview vid and i show what...

    M1088A1 Starting Issue

    Yep that's it. Plug and play? other than the exact same nason switch provided by one of our resident suppliers, no... There is nothing special about it, it is a normally closed 15PSI low oil pressure switch(completes a circuit until it sees >15PSI). The 2 wires in the truck side plug go to...

    FMTV M1078A0. Transmission Swaps

    Go to the home page on this group, under manuals find the LMTV M1078A0 manual set available there. Download TM 9-2320-365-34-2 from that group(download them all). various bits and differences listed by trans S/N in the transmission change-out procedures, but look at Appendix H. it has a chart...

    LMTV cabin fan not working

    Yep. CB23 feeds right to the control switch for the heater. With a volt meter you should see 24v on one terminal of the CB23 socket with the ignition switch turned on. What year is this truck? be careful overfusing, especially on the A1's with the circuit board power panel. fuses are...

    LMTV cabin fan not working

    That solenoid has a LED indicator in its plug that shows when it is receiving power. It and the solenoid itself should cycle on and off with the ignition sw. If there is more than ~85PSI in the wet tank the solenoid should send that air down to release the fan clutch when energized…

    LMTV cabin fan not working

    A0 or A1? yea the diagram you showed is for the m1079 habitat box... the dash heater blower is powered from CB23 in the dash. 24v from power panel ignition relay to breaker, to dash switch, to fan motor and back to TB2(ground TB) in(under) the power panel to complete the circuit. CB22...

    FMTV M1078A0. Transmission Swaps

    there is a section in the tech manual going over proper configuration for transmission changeouts. I think it is in the 34-1 or 34-2 manual which you can get in the manuals section on this site, but it has been a while since i went over it. it was based on serial numbers if i recall. but as...

    1078 Brake problem

    Also confirm the shoes are on correctly. they are not symmetrical and stamped to indicate the adjuster end, and can be put on backwards... 3 of the 4 front shoes were on backwards on my truck when I received it from auction and it pulled like a SOB when brakes were applied.

    LMTV cabin fan not working

    Exactly what vehicle is this on? A M1079 habitat fan? what are you using for an AC source to the box and where/how is it connected? CB8 for that fan would be in the enclosure power panel in the M1079 box. Now if you are referring to the heater blower in the cab that should be ignition 24v...

    Hydraulic pump replacement - deleted the controller

    Well it is probably on the cross member where most of the brake components are located Above the rear axles. There is a 2 way check valve there that combines the primary and secondary service tanks to feed the anti compound valve which is a relay that provides air to the park springs. The anti...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Ok, starting to get the printer to behave for my new idiot light panel. getting there anyway… missing the islands in the O’s P’s and B’s on this test run, it will be printed on the colored filters which will keep those in place on the finished product.

    Wet..... Dry.... torque on lugs

    Exactly, and there is no real telling how much loss is in a planetary with 60:1 multiplication at this force level unless you build a jig and instrument to measure the actual loss(lever and scale to apply force in, lever and scale to measure force out). As mentioned it is also a little weird...

    Wet..... Dry.... torque on lugs

    I have never wet torqued lug nuts or done anything to wheel studs beyond cleaning them throughly… I found no indication that any lubricant was used on any of mine… You can use a multiplier to torque, but your margin for error in the final torque is a little higher I think, especially with the...
