    Critical FMTV PM not covered in TMs

    Thanks for the PDP, that will get printed and sleeved for my cab notebook. Can you tell me if the voltage on the breakers matters? I have plenty of 12 volt breakers, but not finding any 24 volt ones. After today, I've about got it memorized. I went through every relay and breaker, looking...

    Critical FMTV PM not covered in TMs

    Thanks for the tip on the location of the TM files. I started following the troubleshoot guide on the low headlights. Got to the point where I check continuity between one of the relay socket slots and the headlight wire. I noticed the relay was "missing" the tab that inserts where I was...

    I haven't messed with the cab air bag support. I will try that. My cab does descend on it's own. Seems to sit in place OK resting on the outside hooks and the center latch. I even got up in it and jumped around, didn't seem to settle any more. I pumped it down quite a bit with the hand...

    Critical FMTV PM not covered in TMs

    So, when the cab hits the latch, and the pump is done, the hydraulic pressure on the pin is relieved, the pin spring is supposed to insert the pin over the cab latch. This might be impeded by latent hydraulic pressure, excessive friction from dirty parts, cab not fully seated or contaminates in...

    Critical FMTV PM not covered in TMs

    Same part different question. What am I supposed to do if the lock pin doesn't lock. Tried tapping it, but it seems solidly set in place in the open position. Thanks
