    M1078 LMTV planetary hub setup

    Would be interesting to try it your way then check same hub with Steve's way. It really is not any trouble Steve's way once you have done one or six.:cool:

    Noisy axles at LMTV

    Believe he did an edit and asked his question on the geared hub thread started by Steve 6x6x6. To add if you have a gear noise that does not happen on full throttle or complete let off of throttle but when you come to half throttle check your drive line. Might be out of phase as mine was. I...

    thread on NHC 250 fuel lines

    I just went through today having a new line made up for my Cat fuel line. My NAPA did not carry diesel fuel rated line or the local Hyd. shop but said they could order it. I drove 40 miles to Ocala Hyd. service and they had green stripe and made up my line. Believe there is also R10 hose that is...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Replaced my primary fuel filter to engine fuel line. Was told to make sure it was diesel rated fuel line so drove to Ocala. Nice day for a 30 mile drive.

    Fan Clutch Solenoid issue

    Mine get warm too. Seems like a backwards design and wonder how it effects the rubber.

    Deuce will not start

    Yea need to measure for sure. I also corrected my post for some reason my math or proof reading was off. I said 1/2'' but changed it to 1/4''. For you kids out there 3/8's minus 1/8's is 2/8's or 1/4. Stay in school or home school and drive your parents crazy.

    Cat 3116 max altitude questions

    From what I read the 3116 is a finicky Cat. Does not like to be lugged, miss treated or chased by Dogs. I believe you are over looking the problem that is Oxygen. Oil additives or cetane booster is not going to solve that problem. Same as if we go to higher altitudes we can get sick as does the...

    Cat 3116 max altitude questions

    Guess you are a pilot and correct. But in the case of any mechanical injector engine in our older MV's would seem all we can do is if there is a altitude adjustment book then we just have to set it per specs to what alt. we plan to run at. Not what the pressure altitude is that day we want to...

    Cat 3116 max altitude questions

    Frank Curiosity may have killed the cat but operating a 3116 Cat above Max. Alt without fuel change will kill the Cat even quicker. You must reduce the amount of fuel. I would guess there is a manual for how many 1000 feet you want to operate above sea level. I would also bet the way our fuel is...

    Cat 3116 max altitude questions

    Good to know but disagree with might not notice power loss I believe you would. So for Smitts & giggles I called my local Cat dealer. He quoted 1K to run over head. Now if I did not say it I do not no Cat's or what it takes to run over head. I heard of tools that will drain you pocket. Now I do...

    M37 Barn Find

    Not on my truck right now but was wondering why all my dirty laundry were on the ceiling the other morning. I thought is was on the GOOD meds I was on. On a side note to that even though stock M37 mine anyway going slow ( 35 mph ) can be fun because of all the looks she gets. Sure you will have...
