    No Parking Brakes 1997 M1078

    Does the truck roll with no air pressure in the system? Please post a picture of the rear brake cans or pots or chambers, whatever term you prefer.

    No Parking Brakes 1997 M1078

    Oh boy. Look at the rear brake pots. Are there threaded rods protruding from the middle? If so remove them.

    Are the rear brakes caged?

    What HMMWV Engine did I really get?

    It's a 6.5. The painted intake tells me it has been rebuilt. Nice paint on your truck. Trans is 3 speed.

    mule running and idling great but no power?

    Maybe the carb jets are gummed up. Try some Seafoam in the tank.

    Traffic Stop/I was speeding

    It is certainly ya'lls constitutional right to hate law enforcement, however understand that when LEOs see a military vehicle driven by someone in civilian clothes, they automatically assume it could be stolen (probable cause). It certainly is in your best interest to be 100% polite if stopped...

    Traffic Stop/I was speeding

    "Because I let you" is a super smart ass remark and I am not surprised it degrades from there. A traffic stop is technically an arrest.

    So what did I win ??? CUCV II, III ????

    I HATE YOU! I got caught up with a presentation at work and couldn't fight you for it. (LOL) It's the real deal, CUCVII, a highly unusual GMT400 body style Tahoe made in 2000 in Arlington when all production had already switched to the new body style. It is a militarized Z71 package which is...

    Another LMTV No start thread M1078

    I would fill the Allison full per the dipstick. I do have the Allison manual saved, but I forgot that it is for the WTEC II not the III you have. Both transmissions have an oil level sensor which will tell the trans to fault to DNS or Do Not Shift if the level is incorrect. I don't think the...

    Locker owner opinions?

    One of wehring's posts describe the locker he put in the rear. Basically, in an off camber situation, you no longer get stuck.

    Another LMTV No start thread M1078

    Press the two buttons simultaneously on the wtec 3 and codes for whatever is causing shift inhibit will show. The diagnostic manual is attached to a post in the middle of mkcoen's M1078 thread. Where did you find the hydraulic motor? I could not find it for less than $1k.

    54 Pin Plug wire diagram needed

    The crude "STE-ICE" (simplified test equipment internal combustion engine) plugs in there. Totally analog inputs to the device such as fuel pressure, cranking amps etc. It does not need to be connected.

    A/c idler pully and tensioner question

    Do an advanced search for "pulley" in the FMTV forum, look for a thread started by me, in it is a post with the parts list.

    Cat 7155 tranny

    FWIW, I've been driving my 915 for going on 6 years now and I really like the 7155. When you get the hang of it you can get to 70 mph as fast as regular traffic when empty.

    Tail light issues on newly acquired m998

    "Shorts" is +24 volts going straight to ground. Lots of fireworks with this. You have intermittent connections. Wiper, replace or eliminate the contacts where the windshield folds. Your lighting issue now sounds like a bad turn signal control handle.

    M1079a1 start issue

    Your own experience here says no. There are $2k worth of batteries sitting in that box, to me it is worth a $100 charger to keep them alive.

    M1079a1 start issue

    AGM batteries that are badly discharged or sulfated will need weeks of pounding by an AGM charger. Then they will be good as new. Several threads on this.
