    !CLOSED! Cab Mount Group Buy. NEW OEM FMTV LMTV M1078, M1079, etc

    No. You can likely purchase tubing of the appropriate size or if absolutely necessary these can be turned out on any lathe in short order. Vulcanized rubber requires equipment generally far beyond that found in the average shop and that's what this group buy is here to address. If you need...

    !CLOSED! Cab Mount Group Buy. NEW OEM FMTV LMTV M1078, M1079, etc

    I called my supplier and the mounts are scheduled to ship out on November 14th. They said all production has been delayed due to supply chain backups and raw material shortages. So the original estimate of 4-6 weeks turned into 16 weeks. Such is the way of the world these days. And yes there...

    !CLOSED! Cab Mount Group Buy. NEW OEM FMTV LMTV M1078, M1079, etc

    Additional sets were ordered and I presume some will also remain unclaimed one shipping commences. I haven't heard back from my email requesting an updated ETA as of yet. I have paid 50% of the production costs and the other 50% is due upon completion but that has yet to occur, As with most...

    The factory style condenser mounts under the skid plate and shouldn't preclude the use of the cold weather radiator/intercooler cover

    fmtv winter front cover .

    Nice. I'll have to attempt installation. Mine has never been installed but it could be handy if I head up to the mountain. The warning about not using it causing damage to equipment is interesting. :oops:

    M1078A1 voltage issues/no power

    I replaced mine with the new style but I did pull that box off and found the loose ring so I heated it with a small torch and after letting it cool that seems to have fixed the loose solder joint under the potting material. I never tested it since I already replaced it - I was just messing...

    M1078A1 voltage issues/no power

    There's an Army PS magazine blurb about those early relays having bad connections and mine had a solder joint problem inside the potted control box. https://www.psmagazine.army.mil/News/Article/2992599/m1078a1-fmtv-culprit-for-cab-power-loss/ There's a new enclosed unit that replaces the...

    No run condition and Loping 3126 Cat 7.2 6x6

    You are supposed to pump it till water/fuel runs out of the drain on the bowl. That's how it's supposed to work. It's somewhere in the maintenance schedule or PMCS..... can't remember where I saw that. But yeah it will dump water/fuel from the bowl once the primer gets hard so I bet it's not...

    CTIS over speed lamp lights up

    There's no need to replace the controller. You can program all the settings including overspeed set points with the free Dana diagnostic tool.

    CTIS over speed lamp lights up

    Older CTIS modules communicate with J1587. Newer one's support J1939. The DANA software supports both you just need any RP1210A protocol adapter. https://global.dana.com/commercial-vehicles/products/tire-pressure-management#searchRootId=e2131c3b-468f-443d-87ae-0bca7e2ef08e/facets= This should...

    White sealant on brake cans-how to break free

    It's almost certainly PTFE sealant - it does harden with age. Heat will help but also proper fitting tools and especially line wrenches if you can get them in there on the fitting - they don't round off brass fittings like that as easily.

    Radiator Cap alternate part number Stant/MotoRad 10230

    That's the date of FLIS management - where they probably changed pricing information only. You have to look above that to the NIIN issue date which is March 17, 2000 - that was when the NSN was created. It could be that trucks prior to that date had a different cap but they all supersede to this...

    I contacted the manufacturer of the ebay listing and they are putting it back up shortly so I can buy one. Seem like nice people.

    Radiator Cap alternate part number Stant/MotoRad 10230

    That is incorrect. The 10229 has a pressure rating of 13 psi. The FMTV trucks call for a 16 psi cap. I will post a picture of the Fed-Log characteristics....
