Doh! Chair Force doesn't have these trucks. But they should have a J1939 interface to talk to some systems.
Make friends on the local Army base side of things. Trust me - you want to find a fellow veteran on the Army side. A Motor Sargent for a good sized unit with a lot of trucks can be your...
Motorpool can hook you up. Buy the Motor Sargent ANYTHING he wants - beer, food, strippers - ANYTHING. That guy can do you solid with TM's, diagrams, troubleshooting, parts from junk that's being turned in for DRMO, etc. You talk to the right people and rub them all the right ways and the...
That's so strange. I had zero problems rebuilding mine. I was honestly skeptical based on the reports of how difficult it is, etc...... I mean I have plenty of experience with pumps having worked for a compressor manufacturer and I have a full shop with a vice large enough to hold the thing...
Will do. The office lady I spoke with said the 14th :rolleyes:
I'll check with them next week and see if there's an updated ETA to ship. Sadly the delays are out of my hands and probably mostly out of their hands too with raw material availability and supply chain backups, etc. I'm confident we...
That's the 260 unit. It's an "alternative" in the sense that is the alt they upgraded to with the A1R and LTAS trucks, but it's not a simple bolt-on. I don't believe it fits the 100a bracketry, and I know for SURE they changed the shock tower mount dramatically to accommodate the alternator but...
Easier to just reprogram the CTIS module. Anyone that needs that done can send it to me. You can change all the pressure set points to whatever you want as well as all the lockout speeds, etc. It literally takes a few minutes.
The military hasn't run the Michelin's for so long they are definitely toast. Replace those.
Each door will require a 15' roll. I bought two 20' rolls (worked great):

You sure the latch is "seized"? They require hydraulic pressure to unlock. The...
The seals I encountered were not "o-rings" (quad-rings? I don't remember but if it was a simple o-ring I would have rebuilt it right there and not ordered a new one.... and yeah I should have a quad ring assortment but I digress.....) thus why I did not replace them. I did lube them with Dow...
Well I would be cleaning all your connections and ground points. I'm not sure on the A0 trucks what the AC terminal on the VR is connected to - that terminal is an output from the VR and in the later trucks it goes to the LBCD and is the load sense used by the LBCD to disconnect the batteries...
The original cartridge was still on my truck from 2008 when I got it (did not know this). Mind you it only had 2750 miles on it. It destroyed my compressor around 5800 miles on the odometer driving from Texas to Portland. The backpressure from the cartridge caused the compressor to overheat and...
The filter is a desiccant cartridge and is sealed/consumable. The cartridge (this is only for the PURest dryer used on later A1's) is a Haldex DQ6050.
All the parts are listed in the FMTV parts spreadsheet stickied at the top of this subforum.
Everything in the Hawaiian Army units rusts so badly it's almost sure to be corrosion related. Only place I've ever trained where we were replacing entire brake line kits on HMMWV's. Literally entire rubbermaid trash cans full of rotted out hydraulic brake lines. Had a hard top cab on a 5 ton...
Well this one is the Haldex PURest dryer on my 2008 A1R. Service takes about 10 minutes. You drain the air tanks, remove the 4 cover bolts, and pull the filter housing off. The filter turns 45 degrees and pops out of the housing. You clean everything, lube up the new o-ring and the one in the...
