    LMTV Shipping

    My .02 it's not a good idea to flat tow FMTV with geared hubs of a truck that has not had the hubs serviced/ check. Even if the rear axles have been removed and front drive line is removed.

    Fuel leak

    I say no as the end tips are designed to spin. That could be a leaking line problem if the installer did not check the lines tips before install. I have seen tips with just a tick of metal missing and that would cause a leak. Find the leak first then figure what the fix. Need to know what is...

    Fuel leak

    If the lines that were put on the IP had a problem with the ends then it's a line problem. You need to clean real well and trace the fuel. There has been problems with a crack in the head. There has been problem with the center plug. If you still can't see right where the fuel is coming from try...

    M51A2 stuck sprag not engaging air problem?

    Reverse sprag engagement would be piston /threaded rod to the rear or in. If a sprag does get get locked up the truck will hop and you will feel a bad drag on the drive line.

    M51A2 stuck sprag not engaging air problem?

    valve adjustment on CAT 3116

    I agree no way 60mph average. Medium duty might be trash trucks or local delivery stop and go.

    valve adjustment on CAT 3116

    Seems like it would be in the medium duty trucks not heavy duty over the road trucks.
