    LMTV M1078 Tachometer

    The A1 winch truck that I have did not have a tach. I believe this is due to electronic engine rpm control. Less operator options.

    On the bell housing is an engine speed sensor I have been doing some reading up and this input is also used by the ecu.

    LMTV M1078 Tachometer

    Probably piggybacks off the trans harness somehow. The manual dosnt show a different harness for winch trucks so there is a good possibility the connection you desire is tucked away somewhere in the dash or behind the heater. Pic below is what the connector should look like. A tach signal should...

    M1078 Fuel Tanks

    The self sealing tanks are MRAP. I dont believe you could cut one of those tanks down and retain the self seal feature. They are tig welded aluminum inside with special coatings. If you want a small aux tank one of the M931 tractor tanks are a bit smaller.

    Troubleshooting Flickering CTIS Ovspd Light Above 25mph in Hwy Mode

    I am still learning about these trucks. If there was a theory of operation TM with a schematic of the whole truck it would make the process much easier. I didnt know the tps was only used by the the trans computer until recently. Since the IP is mechanical I am wondering if the ecu expects a...

    LMTV rocker switches

    I just looked the power switch looks the same as most of the others. The zigzag lines legend pops out and will go in another switch. Swap it with your rotary warning switch for now. You can search Britax 511 on the net or auction site. Look here...

    Troubleshooting Flickering CTIS Ovspd Light Above 25mph in Hwy Mode

    If the light flashes and your truck shifts funny then replace the speed sensor on the underside of the transmission. Its an over the counter Allison part. 29543432 there are a dozen or so alt part numbers listed in parttarget.

    Troubleshooting Flickering CTIS Ovspd Light Above 25mph in Hwy Mode

    I have learned that the trans control also uses a throttle position sensor on top of the engine its a small box over the fuel filter with primer button and has a cable running up to the IP. This with the sensor on the trans and it works together with the ctis controller. If you are in a lower...

    Bad wiring to my regulator on my 1995 M1083

    Is it physically damaged? Cage it the bolts should be on brackets. Unless you are good with spring brakes I suggest paying a heavy truck shop to fix it. Spring brakes can be very dangerous.

    Bad wiring to my regulator on my 1995 M1083

    The knobs get bent and stuck. If it makes heat you know coolant is being circulated. If the coolant level in the reservoir behind the cab is ok and the truck dosnt overheat then I think you are good. You may be able to take the heater apart and free the controls up. I don't have any message...

    LMTV rocker switches

    They are very similar to some of the Volvo truck switches. The parts tm will show numbers. You can search parttarget with the part number or nsn it will list manufacturers and some may have multiple part numbers from different makers.

    Bad wiring to my regulator on my 1995 M1083

    The battery side has 2 power cables going to the batteries. One for 12 and one 24 volt. The truck side has 12 and 24 volt leads making their way into the truck. Does your heater not have power or no circulating coolant? Very important to go over the power panel and make sure it's properly...

    M1078 Cab Parts, need some?

    Most of the little parts are in current mil inventory and can be ordered but most of it is price prohibitive unless you really need it. I had looked into ordering steyr parts at one time they were at bit cheaper in quantity but with the international shipping the price ended up being about the...

    Wheel Covers / Rim Protectors

    Moisture gets in and corrodes them and then the rubber flap dosnt have a smooth surface to seal against. You can remove the valve and there are 4 nuts and bolts that hold it together. Best to have a spare on hand before tearing into an old one though. Just in case.

    Won't Start...

    it sounds the the batteries don't have a good charge on them. Did you remove them to charge or charge in place? If you removed them sometimes a loose batt connection will cause headaches. There are things that will cause your truck not to start is the trans ecu is not happy. In the relay panel...
