    Help with LMTV cooling issues

    The fan will freewheel when the engine runs. If the fan clutch is engaged, the fan makes HUGE noise going down the road. What do you think, is the fan super noisy? If so, there are numerous threads here on fixing it, or refer to the Technical Manual.

    Check before you buy!

    If it’s too long for your M35A2, which it appears to be, they got it wrong X2, that is for a MTV. If it fits a 12’ bed, you can flip this to a LMTV guy, those are super hard to find.

    24 Volt systems

    OK Sorry Keith I forgot about that and you are quite correct. I edited my post. Apologies.

    First start of a MEP-002, do's and don'ts?

    I might add you won’t need to add coolant ever and don’t add gas either.

    Lmtv trailer (M1082) Dump Bed

    The sides would not hold up at all, the hinge pins are like 0.25” and the two upper slide latches are from a household door looks like. The bed itself is very strong.

    24 Volt systems

    Ok one thing you need to be aware of, one alternator has to have an isolated negative , it’s a special unit not available at Auto Zone. You can convert a standard one over, but it’s easier to just fix your bad alternator with a new regulator, which is the same.

    M1078 Transmission Problem

    1. Yes on the WTEC II the shift selector and the trans ECU are the same box. If volts were low, you would get a code for that. 2. No such dedicated wire 3. Numerous solenoids in the transmission open valves which directs hydraulic pressure to clutches. Nothing wrong with them. Now...

    Well there’s your problem, one alternator is putting out 27-28, no wonder your battery is boiling.

    24 Volt systems

    Both alts put out 12 volts, one charges one battery and the other charges the other. Regulator in the alternator is shot, easy fix.

    Rust Holes! Question....

    Ouch, your picture didn't make it look that bad. Now you are faced with the misery of welding in a patch panel.

    Rust Holes! Question....

    I would grind away all rust until just shiny metal remains. Then fill the holes and the bare shiny steel area with JB Weld. Then coat the area with cold galvanize paint, then topcoat.

    Another 6.5 Turbo Question

    That will work. I would do everything I could to make sure the engine is a good runner before going through the work of transplanting it. Including making sure coolant doesn't disappear. My '00 6.5 TD does that. I keep having to refill it.

    M1089 wont downshift, stalling engine.

    You have a WTEC II. Pull the codes to see why it's not working right, then go from there. Attached is the Allison book.

    Another 6.5 Turbo Question

    You want the side mount.

    Another 6.5 Turbo Question

    Is the box truck a "cutaway", i.e. a van that has the back cut off? Those have the rear mount turbocharger which won't fit. Otherwise no problem other than having to "de-computerize" the engine.
