    200 A alternator probably shot - but why, and what now ?

    Niehoff really needs to step up their game. No reason for their products to be so unreliable. Similar problems on FMTVs.

    manual transfer switch ideas?

    I run a Reliance Controls unit. Works great.

    Plan to buy a 3D printer

    3D printing is a hobby thing not a manufacturing thing. Maybe for prototypes. In manufacturing we turn out widgets every minute or less, no time for hobby machines. Must use injection molding.

    I will have to tow 1031A - Anyone tried (what do you think) a tow dolly?

    X2 on what Keith advised. If you have to back up, turn the key off or the wheels will go to full steer. What is sticking out of the hood? Looks like a bird feeder but maybe it’s a fording extension?

    How far did you flat tow it with no oil in the axles or transmission?

    M1081 Injectors

    Army took care of that one as opposed to most 1081s. I would run some diesel conditioner though it before I messed with the cat. Mine smoke a little too when you get on them hard. Does yours still have the turret ring installed?

    Help with LMTV cooling issues

    The fan will freewheel when the engine runs. If the fan clutch is engaged, the fan makes HUGE noise going down the road. What do you think, is the fan super noisy? If so, there are numerous threads here on fixing it, or refer to the Technical Manual.

    Check before you buy!

    If it’s too long for your M35A2, which it appears to be, they got it wrong X2, that is for a MTV. If it fits a 12’ bed, you can flip this to a LMTV guy, those are super hard to find.

    24 Volt systems

    OK Sorry Keith I forgot about that and you are quite correct. I edited my post. Apologies.

    First start of a MEP-002, do's and don'ts?

    I might add you won’t need to add coolant ever and don’t add gas either.

    Lmtv trailer (M1082) Dump Bed

    The sides would not hold up at all, the hinge pins are like 0.25” and the two upper slide latches are from a household door looks like. The bed itself is very strong.

    24 Volt systems

    Ok one thing you need to be aware of, one alternator has to have an isolated negative , it’s a special unit not available at Auto Zone. You can convert a standard one over, but it’s easier to just fix your bad alternator with a new regulator, which is the same.

    M1078 Transmission Problem

    1. Yes on the WTEC II the shift selector and the trans ECU are the same box. If volts were low, you would get a code for that. 2. No such dedicated wire 3. Numerous solenoids in the transmission open valves which directs hydraulic pressure to clutches. Nothing wrong with them. Now...
