    M1078 newbie

    WTEC controller is application specific. You need one from a FMTV, (LMTV or MTV), 1998 and up. Ask transmissioninstruments.com if he has the program for FMTV and can flash a non- FMTV controller.

    M1078 newbie

    1998 trucks are WTEC 3 transmission control to match the transmission. If someone sold you a 1997 or before dash harness, it is incompatible.

    German Made "Ben Hur" Trailer, Wheel Question?

    Suggest replace the entire axle with a lighter duty trailer axle, preferably with the same bolt pattern as the tow vehicle.

    Wanting to slow down my M35A2

    If the transmission is bolted to a OA331 gas engine, 99.999% chance it's a 3052. Will bolt right in.

    Is there a way to adjust my M813 door "forward"?

    Try bending the hinge leafs bolted to the cab. Make sure nobody put some shims under the hinge.

    ECU battery replacement and software backups?

    Fuzzytoaster where are you, SME on this subject!!!

    Are 16.5” rubbers really that bad?

    I think that rim size is a late 70's carryover. Back then, 16.5 was common on pickups. Military carried the size along with the rest of the HMMWV heritage items (6.2/6.5 etc). I believe Goodyear and BF Goodrich know these tires are relied upon by our warfighters and hopefully put their best...

    Considering an M916A1

    Investgate the top speed, the A1 is a bit of a slowpoke. Parts can be problematic too.

    BAE systems 2001 M1088A1 any good?

    Regarding the ECU battery, fuzzytoaster on here just went through that. He had to replace the ECU, and Cat was not particularly helpful. He has a thread on the subject.

    BAE systems 2001 M1088A1 any good?

    The 3126's engine computer has a "hold up battery" that cannot be replaced, and is just about at end of life for this era truck. When it dies, the truck will not longer run. Then the real fun begins.

    Humvee brackets would like to identify

    We just had a thread on this. EDIT: INCORRECT: The rear tailgate area brackets are for "convoy ahead" sign. Juanprado is correct, the side, rear and hood brackets are for CID panels.

    RTH No Longer NEEDED - was stuck on I5 in NorCal

    What era military used this acronym? I never heard it. Sorry for thread diversion.

    What does RTH mean?

    M 135 starting issue

    Welcome. Sounds like when you installed the waterproof distributor, you stabbed it a tooth or teeth off. As for now, do you have fresh clean gas in the truck? 2+ year old gas will not work well if at all.

    new owner of a m448

    Nice trailer. Don't see those around anymore. Was like a textile repair shop possibly? Markings are straight out of the Vietnam era.

    M38A1 Dutch army jeep

    Trailer is M416, built for use with M151 series. It will be fine behind the A1. The engine data plate is from when Dutch military overhauled the engine.

    M38A1 Dutch army jeep

    Engine is correct! I believe only entire fenders are available.

    FMTV High Speed Gears

    That is the same axle that was bolted on in Sealy in 1998. Get a quote on drive-in drive out gear change at MTP drivetrain in Many, LA. You can wait or get a rental car and go home.

    Adjusting Load Sensing Valve on M1078

    Wow add this to the list of bizarre FMTV air brake problems. Have not seen this, my only suggestion is to go back to the usual culprit of spring brake application while driving, issues with the vent in the front gladhand covers.

    anyone live near New Boston, TX need assistance

    The GP lot is in the middle of the action at Red River Depot. Inches away from the interstate. You want a car hauler to move that for you, not a 18 wheeler.
