    MK48 power-running issues

    I have found E85 fuel cuts the diesel gum like butter. Maybe the in tank pickups are restricted.

    M915A4 won't start / no lights on trans box

    Looking at your picture in the other post, there is a cable zip tied to the heavy +12 volt cable at battery post "1". The light gauge cable does not appear to have it's terminal connected to the battery lug. Smoking gun . . .

    M915A4 won't start / no lights on trans box

    You also made a separate post here about the battery connections. Are you SURE all cables leading to vehicle loads are attached to the correct posts? If someone has been messing with these connections that was not trained (like a volunteer firefighter for example), it is quite possible things...

    M915A4 won't start / no lights on trans box

    The VIM has fuses inside. VIM is Vehicle Interface Module, that is how the vehicle signals are made available to the transmission software. Some WTEC controllers are 24 volt, not sure about your A4, but I would think yes. So follow the work packages (WP) and you should be able to get to the...

    M915A4 won't start / no lights on trans box

    You have an Allison "world" electronic transmission. The controller and keypad must be powered and functioning in order for engine cranking to be enabled. The lack of lit keypad is the clue as to why your engine won't crank. Check the keypad and controller (follow harness) for connectors that...

    M915A4 won't start / no lights on trans box

    If the Allison controller does not light up, it will not permit the engine to crank. You will need to determine why no power is available to the controller, or, it is possible the controller has failed. The transmission should default to neutral when unpowered. If the truck won't roll, it is...

    Won an M1083A1 - 1900 mile recovery trip soon! (ND to CA)

    Glad you made it. Actually kinda fun trying to brainstorm what was going wrong with your truck. What did they say "failure is not an option".

    M1088A1 Will Not Crank, need info. new member

    Yes, it's a simple issue. Non-replaceable hold up battery in the ECU has run out of juice. Cat can verify.

    M813 on obstacle course

    If you have ever seen old videos of the Belgian block course at Aberdeen Proving Ground, you will understand how this truck can perform like this. During trials, trucks have to take this kind of abuse with 5 tons in the bed.

    M16 Halftrack joins the family

    Lots of potential there. No telling what kinds of now banned pesticides and herbicides that thing sprayed. I never use respiratory protection when using a cutting torch, but I would if cutting on that. I don't recall the M16 having a double frame? Engine is White 160AX. Take a look at...

    I think it's transmission harness issue. The rain got into something.

    Won an M1083A1 - 1900 mile recovery trip soon! (ND to CA)

    I would re-seat all the connectors related to the Allison. Behind the dash, the one at the left front of the engine under the cab, and the ones at the transmission. Look for chafing on the harness.
