    Cab and spare hydraulics problems M1078 LMTV

    Thanks for correcting me - it is just what the guy told me. That said, I looked them up and might be worth retrofitting one. That's a good tip about the rain. I do NOT want to have hydraulic problems ever again!

    Cab and spare hydraulics problems M1078 LMTV

    No, not that. And funny enough the air pump for the hydraulic pump feeds off the wet tank (AFAIK). No, on the air hydraulic power pack located under the chemical detector mount (integral with the reservoir for the cab lift/tire life/suspension hydraulic system components) is an air desiccant...

    Cab and spare hydraulics problems M1078 LMTV

    I mentioned this on another thread but since then I had a hydro guy look over the truck and he pointed out the filters on the tanks are desiccant traps to dry the air going into the tank. The desiccant wears out and needs to be replaced regularly - I doubt many of us are doing that. I certainly...

    Cab and spare hydraulics problems M1078 LMTV

    I walked into the local hydro shop in Seattle, on the Ballard docks by the crab boats. Forget the name now. They scratched their heads for a long time, eventually ended up calling the manufacturer. The trick is apparently that the part #s are for military contract parts, not off the shelf parts...

    Cab and spare hydraulics problems M1078 LMTV

    I meant I discarded and replaced the check valves - not that I made a death trap. Sorry for the ambiguity, I could have been clearer.

    Cab and spare hydraulics problems M1078 LMTV

    My TM -24P is showing Parker. CAGE 09990. In any event I plan to take the entire mess out to our industrial hydro place tomorrow and dump it on their counter, they can sort it out. Edit- I see what is going on. There are two hydro manifold assemblies for the LMTV. They are handled separately...

    Cab and spare hydraulics problems M1078 LMTV

    You sure? My check valves say Parker right on them, and it's a Parker-style part number in the TM.

    Cab and spare hydraulics problems M1078 LMTV

    There are details and pics over on the other thread, http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?155350-Coolant-Took-A-Vacation but basically I took my manifold apart and the checkvalves had some minor looking rust and a rough feel to them.

    Cab and spare hydraulics problems M1078 LMTV

    Sorry - I took it to mean he had a functional (block) schematic of the system. Like what valves are connected to what in what order, and where the check valves are, etc. Not the physical layout.

    Cab and spare hydraulics problems M1078 LMTV

    I have this same problem on all my circuits, leading me to believe it's something in the manifold. Cab is stuck up right now. I've got the manifold off and I'm basically at the point of rebuilding it, I had leaky valves anyways. Did you ever get into your manifold and learn more about the...
