    M998 Fuel Issue - Runs great then dies - HELP!

    I would check that the return line is free flowing, check pressure on the IP side of the filter, check for bubbles in the supply line, if all is good, I would send the IP back for bench testing.

    M1078 start issues

    Run an entirely new wire from a good ground location to one of the screws that attach the WTEC to the dash.

    DoD Excess & Gov Planet

    NO. They know all about auctioning yellow iron. This is their "first rodeo" in the surplus arena and boy does the inexperience show. What drives me nuts is them mixing in the state/local crap with the mil. None of us are looking for ragged out white pickups and rusted bush hogs.

    M35A3 TC PTO question

    I would guess the entire output of the LDT, about 100 horses? RPM is same as engine in 4th. This PTO drives water pumps on the fire truck and fueler, and hydraulic pump on the 108.

    M35A3 TC PTO question

    Yes there is. It is quite difficult to find. There is a collar that is attached to the spline shaft, make sure you get it when buying the PTO. Also, there is an oil line that feeds the bearings in the PTO that is attached to the bottom of the transfer, you need that as well.

    M1078 start issues

    Wait, by three switches are you talking about the military light switch with 3 levers? If yes, your problem could be related to poor grounding of the WTEC keypad controller. Run a new ground wire to the controller/keypad and see if that resolves the issue.

    M1078 start issues

    That is your problem. By switches I assume you mean breakers? Remove the one you were wiggling (associated with WTEC control) and check it with an ohmmeter. If it is defective, you can replace it with a same amp breaker from an unneeded circuit like "warning light" or "radio".

    M1078 start issues

    Welcome. The WTEC controller has to be powered up "Lit N" in order to allow engine cranking. Take a look in the PDP (fuse box) for other breakers that are tripped or not seated well. The breaker locations are on a decal on the cover. The WTEC control has two breakers if I recall.

    Scrap yard woes (**RANT**) - what's your advice?

    Yes, that is how it works in the scrap business. Someone here once said "someone could scrap the first Harley Davidson ever made and they would cut it up regardless". Best not to even think about all the great things that have been cut up.

    Parts And Radio

    That buckle is part of the AM/598/U power supply. Mine has the same strap. Keeps the radio from bouncing. I think those radios were good for a half mile when they were new, so don't get high expectations.

    Boiling battery

    The FRP battery tray is just as hot as the battery. Looks like he does not have a cover and the sun has been shining on the battery.

    Boiling battery

    Will need pictures of the battery box with a naked girl pointing to the battery in question. Too hot usually means overcharging. Have him recheck voltages.

    Hydraulic Control Manifold breather releasing air

    Should not do that. Sounds like the inflate/deflate valve may have an issue. CTIS is unrelated.

    MK48 power-running issues

    I have found E85 fuel cuts the diesel gum like butter. Maybe the in tank pickups are restricted.

    M915A4 won't start / no lights on trans box

    Looking at your picture in the other post, there is a cable zip tied to the heavy +12 volt cable at battery post "1". The light gauge cable does not appear to have it's terminal connected to the battery lug. Smoking gun . . .

    M915A4 won't start / no lights on trans box

    You also made a separate post here about the battery connections. Are you SURE all cables leading to vehicle loads are attached to the correct posts? If someone has been messing with these connections that was not trained (like a volunteer firefighter for example), it is quite possible things...

    M915A4 won't start / no lights on trans box

    The VIM has fuses inside. VIM is Vehicle Interface Module, that is how the vehicle signals are made available to the transmission software. Some WTEC controllers are 24 volt, not sure about your A4, but I would think yes. So follow the work packages (WP) and you should be able to get to the...

    I do not agree with advice given regarding capping front service and emergency lines.
