    Just won an auction - M1088A1

    Abs are press fit and can be removed with pliers. Often antisoeze is used for easier removal

    Just won an auction - M1088A1

    If you use the brakes a lot, you will drop pressure but the compressor should build the pressure back up pretty quickly. Fuel lines are supply, return, and vent. Just a service item but the fuel hoses in these things rot easily, my 2007 return line was falling apart. They can be replaced by...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    I just got a egt derate code on stock turbo ..but also had a boost sensor error as well as injector 5 current error. Haven't done the 370 tune but with the hills here and my weight over 30k making me a little nervous. May have a bad boost sensor (atmospheric failed recently) and that may have...

    CTIS pressure settings increase - no programming, transducer, or module required.

    That all sounds normal. I can't recall if HWY ever drops pressure....not that you would ever really need to as it's the highest pressure setting. The over speed light will appear when in a lower mode and traveling too fast for the pressure. After a little while (I don't recall how long but its...

    From fire truck to MTV

    Haven't been doing any modifications to the truck, except added an exterior fresh water tank connection. Been going on lots of adventures though so it's photo dump time.

    So the MTVR adventure begins

    Haven't spent a ton of time on the truck lately with the kids being out of school for the summer and going on lots of trips with the FMTV camper. Did get the cab taken apart a bit to get all the needed measurements and have modeled up the design a little. Going with a cabover setup, with an...

    M1078A1R Offroad Behavior/Question

    That does sound more significant than any noises I've gotten, I'm A1R as well. I'm on a m1096 chassis though, so I have a high pinion diff(I think that was 2007 and later for the lmtvs) and probably a longer rear driveshaft.

    M1078A1R Offroad Behavior/Question

    I get a clunking from the front under sharp turns/high load, it's from the front leaves shifting around a little. I usually only does it once in a turn as the springs "seat" in their new location. Have had this on many leaf spring vehicles. I can get this when not in mode - although mode will...

    LMTV FMTV Exhaust Brake Questions?

    No, but there are lots of people out there that have the software and can do it. Not sure how many are legitimate.

    LMTV FMTV Exhaust Brake Questions?

    I did. It's really simple when you figure out the correct parameter to change. You literally just change a drop down box from third gear to 6th gear, and then it won't downshift. You do have to have the Allison software configured to allow reprogramming. I think the parameter was called "target...

    LMTV FMTV Exhaust Brake Questions?

    I programmed mine not to downshift, I like the behavior far better. I can choose to downshift for more braking when required but I don't get the aggressive down shifting when I don't want it. 30,400lb m1096 C7. Still wish the exhaust brake was more effective but we don't have Jake's so is what...

    Air Flow CFM?

    I'm running the PSD 12 on a C7 and it's been working well. Still haven't slapped on the 370 map though.

    Engine Pre Heating Connections?

    I went with this one and have been happy with it's performance, I'm using it for heating a coolant loop that warms water heater as well as going through a radiator with fans to warm the habitat air...

    So the MTVR adventure begins

    If you have a failed fuel sender, this one works. It doesn't have the low fuel light capability but other than that, good to go. You do have to wire it in. Isspro, part number RA9521-ISS-LP, $114 Connect to red and black wires. Blue is for the low fuel light. Sender wires are non polarized so...

    How to power 12volt civilian trailer

    Probably easiest option is swapping the trailer lights out for 12/24 volt types, then using a wiring converter (though those that are straight through wiring still look to be around $150 and up). I went all out and got this one.

    How to power 12volt civilian trailer

    LEDs absolutely care about the voltage. There are LED lights out there that have the circuitry to accept multiple voltages but they are in the minority.
