    M1078 fmtv ctis

    Don't be so hasty to delete stuff. These trucks breed like rabbits. Once you get one it attracts more quickly. Tow bars happen also. And if you make friends with the local reserve or national guard guys you may have a phone number you can call for a "recovery training mission" involving proper...

    M1078 fmtv ctis

    Yeah that 30 psi front reading sounds erroneous. The tanks are linked and for the front tank to be lower than the center tank by ~100 psi would require both a large leak and a restriction in flow from the center to front if I had to guess. The unloader on the compressor kicks in around 120 so...

    In your picture the check valve is to the driver's side of the T. This is the check valve:

    Under normal operation there should be no air present to the front glad hands. They have one-way check valves that should only allow air to flow IN to the front glad hands. Never out: https://www.psmagazine.army.mil/News/Article/2653537/fmtv-get-the-right-gladhand-couplings/

    1 set remains. Since production hasn't begun yet (drawings and samples are being reviewed I'm told), if there is more interest we could potentially increase the quantity.

    Apparently some of the 3126b's had the serpentine system. It appears it was also available as a retrofit kit NSN.

    Yeah I've seen that one that MME has in that episode also. It's perfectly legal to build and sell armored vehicles - it's regularly done in fact for celebrity's and security providers, etc. And the A1P2 has no armament as delivered.... it's just a really heavy truck. I'm surprised that one has...

    You don't need XP for any of the one's I've used. Join your local military vehicle club. They often have meet ups at guard and reserve bases.... around here that's the case anyway. It's not difficult to find people willing to help a veteran with his truck project. You aren't asking for state...

    Easiest way is look at the accessory drive belt. C7 is serpentine with a single belt. 3116 and 3126 use individual V belts.

    Except we give these to Ukraine (and the manuals and repair parts) to be captured and reverse-engineered by the Russians. That's all fine but YOU can't own one you militant American!

    Yep that's probably exactly what happened. The whole "A1R" thing is really a civilian-side label that's only found on some of the S&S/BAE schematics - it was an internal designation to differentiate trucks built to be field upgraded to an armored cab..... To the Army they are all just A1's and...

    A0, A1, A1R and TM's

    Sorta. Like I said there's about 25+ serial number ranges in the actual electronic TM's that narrow down the attributes of that specific truck. Having the battery disconnect box means it's a later A1. As far as I know the A1R's started around mid-late 2007 and went till the end of BAE...

    A0 technical manuals are public domain. Some A1 stuff is also, but much of it, and all the A1R stuff is not public domain and right around the same time the A1's came out the Army went almost entirely to digital manuals. Once they did that the paper versions basically went away and you just...

    Even my 2008 came with 15w40 so that's almost certainly what it will have. The military doesn't swap out for different fluid. They always put in what they originally came with in my experience.

    Beginning the Journey

    They sometimes get assembled incorrectly when soldiers remove them and reinstall them - not properly aligning the slip yoke splines. Even assembling them 180 degrees out so they *appear* to be aligned can result in them being out of balance. There's also some question as to the quality of the...
