    FMTV wiring schematic

    Has anyone been able to construct the whole down load or seen a complete one page schematic. I was never good at gig saw puzzles and my ADHD is not helping. I down loaded and printed then tried to assemble. I can get the main trunk ground line run out but the rest I am having trouble fitting...

    Interesting driveline testing on LMTV by the Army

    Yep thanks. I found it and looks like it needs a longer bolt to go all the way through the threaded bracket. Then put a Nylock nut on the end.

    Interesting driveline testing on LMTV by the Army

    Thanks for the info. Did we have a thread showing the bolt in a pic that was the problem with Compressor/ PS pump bracket to engine. I will look at the truck and should be self-explanatory. Also I will look at the Alternator and see about making a bracket but was wondering if anyone is making...

    M35A2 Fuel Related Issues

    No have not played with my Deuce or it's fuel system in quite a while is it in a TM? I would still think it would be better to push what ever is blocking the booster back the way it came not through it some how.

    Cat 3116 LMTV - Synthetic Oil

    I just happened to google it as I too have a 3116. Come to find out the marine Cat 3116 PCV system runs it back through the engine as you can not have oil or oil film discharged into the bilge. I just went with Rotella 15/40 this time and will read more.

    M35A2 Fuel Related Issues

    I can not explain why fuel will go around the gear pump but it will. That is why we can with the engine off and just the in tank pump running test for pressure or bleed air after the booster on the bleed screw. So yes I believe it will back flow. The tm says it starts to open at 60 psi but as...

    Rebuilding the Injection pump

    Just for smitts and giggles I looked at the TM. Correct FDC only should move when fuel changes and on start up. Now if we go by the TM fuel goes to a pressure regulating valve as per TM that is 20 /21psi. So even at idle where we have a minimum of 30 psi or high idle 60 psi it will not be over...

    Rebuilding the Injection pump

    The oil line that comes off the block and goes to the IP feeds the IP the oil it needs. Leave it alone or as said they both could stand to be replaced if never done but has nothing to do with fuel in oil. I do not know what you have done to your FDC and dropping parts inside? What did you do? Is...

    M35A2 Fuel Related Issues

    If we believe booster has a restriction then I might remove the rubber line that comes off the booster at the copper cross over fuel line. Remove line from booster to secondary and apply low pressure air blowing back through the booster and out the rubber line. The booster IP is a pain to...

    Whats going on with my compressor pulley

    I do not use tool to install only to loosen belt / remove outer half. I clean all threads on compressor shaft and outer pully half. Light coat of Never-Size on threads and then wipe it off with rag. This just leaves more like a residue of Never-Size but not enough to sling off and cause belt to...

    Front axle two vent lines 1088

    Yea the two solenoids that are connected together on the 5 ton one is engine fan and the other is power divider. CTIS is at the end of the axle housing and much bigger line. The line in question also turns into a smaller Synflex plastic line at the frame. Something in the system dischargers air...

    Front axle two vent lines 1088

    I thought the line went into the cab and ended up under the fuse panel and I was wrong. Now come to find out both MTV and LMTV have two lines coming off the front axle. As said I could trace one that was an open axle vent and as said goes to the cab support bracket. The line that is closer to...

    M35A2 Fuel Related Issues

    Forget the air to the fuel tank you said your in tank pump is working and getting fuel to the primary. Now check to see if the copper tube that runs from the primary to the booster pump under the frame rail is crushed. If that is ok then remove the line at the Injection booster and see if you...

    Front axle two vent lines 1088

    OK do not like to get dirty too much but hot not fun. 1088 one vent line goes up through truck frame work and mine ends up under the cab horse shoe support bracket. The other line I believe goes into the cab and is hooked to the air / electric solenoids. One is for the engine fan and the other...

    Front axle two vent lines 1088

    OK I did look through some TM's I swear. I have two vent lines connected to the passenger side mid axle housing. I removed both and put some air to both. One I can hear the one and it seems to be right above the front axle just hard to see where it ends but is up in the frame. The other there is...

    M37 temperature indication problem

    Has anyone switched out to mechanical water and oil gages. The oil seems easy enough but I would like to do water to just do not know if the head port is deep enough for the sending unit. I am not a purest so different gages do not bother me. Tanks

    LDS 4651A TIMING HELP
