    Home 220v single phase -to- 220v 3-Phase conversion.....

    A phase converter to handle two A/C units totalling 72,000 btus will be pricy. That is 6 tons. Looking at 20 run amps each. The 3 phase A/Cs cannot be economically changed to 1 ph.

    Can't get M1078 started...

    Is the transmission controller lit up?

    Help ID this Trailer?

    TSC is something radio/radar related. Might be a special accessory transporter for that set. The CD decal means a local civil defense unit drew the trailer for local use.

    New guy from lousianna

    Welcome from one state over. Good luck with your compressor. I was running a gas 125 Sullair and got tired of the poor fuel efficiency, and upgraded to a Sullair 185 with Cat power. Watch out for back strain when potting up with 100 lb sacks! I messed up my back real good heaving those...

    Wheels

    Caiman MRAP wheels will fit, those are the only type. They are the same as FMTV.

    fuel sender not working

    I would run a second ground wire from the sender to the gauge to eliminate the bad ground possibility. Both the gauge and the sender need to be properly grounded for the system to work.

    HMMWV Arrived

    The connectors on the 12 volt and 24 volt glow plugs are completely different. I would wait for the correct ones to arrive.

    That undoubtably is your transmission problem. Fix that and ride.

    Sorry I am not qualified to answer that. Somewhere on this forum is your answer. Hopefully some of the more experienced guys will chime in.

    Tires

    I love the Wrangler Authority from Wal Mart. I put 265's on my truck and they have incredible traction.

    Working on the M1078 LMTV

    I think you are on the right track about delaying the A/C install. I can see the job taking an experienced tech 3 days with everything on the shelf. We will need a lot longer with hardware store runs, fabricating unobtainable parts, etc.

    Tire Valve Caps for Military Vehicles

    Little quickie info on tire valve caps. Typically the military uses metal valve caps, and vehicles from the Viet Nam era and before would have had the screwdriver type (pictured). I am not sure if the various OEMs cap manufacturer is Milton or not, but Milton is easy to obtain on the...

    Working on the M1078 LMTV

    If the HPU pumps when you bench test it, check that air is coming from the little tube when you press the button. An insect had plugged mine up in a matter of a day when I had it disconnected. Also recall the parking brake has to be engaged for air to go to the HPU.

    Complicated Antenna Base(CUCV)

    Back in the 90's, that was the hot antenna setup all the collectors were looking for to put on the back of M151's and etc. The fiberglass masts were always hard to find. Most of us were still running AB-15 type antennas.

    6x6 Intermediate axle vent, sensor or???

    I do believe that is the air actuator for the inter-axle differential lockout.

    Red dot air conditioner

    Could that be the retrofit kit to put A/C in Freightliner M915A2/A3 etc. For sure not HMMWV or AM General M915A1. Not for MTVR. Not for FMTV. Without NSNs and P/Ns it is hard to tell.

    Multiple Auctions of Exact Same Item Ending Exact Same Time? Best way?

    Do you have the auto-refresh pressed? When the auction gets down to the last minutes, I refresh a lot. Of course if someone bumps you, the auction is extended, so you can convince yourself to blow your budget on more crap you don't need.

    Dan's M1081 Pick-up and Build

    Try sending it to transmissioninstruments.com. If anyone can fix the controller, he can.

    Clunk Clunk Start and white smoke on startup

    White smoke could mean coolant is making it's way into the combustion chamber. Check for coolant level going down in the reservoir.
