    M1078 LMTV Cab raising

    I fluid film the $hit out of all my equipment once a year and every thing has held up beautifully. It’s a rust preventative/ lubricator. Designed for navy and nasa, it must be good!

    M1078 LMTV Cab raising

    I read on another post on this site that someone had a similar issue and as being a mechanic myself I have messed up quite a lot so I figured there was a possibility. Everything is labeled now for the future. The cab lock is still dripping with the raise and lower valve but I can deal with that...

    I took off the cab latch hydro line and the fluid "dribbles" out when the pump is on. All the valves are in the correct position.

    M1078 LMTV Cab raising

    I'm having same issue with my LMTV. I can hear the pump pumping but it will not raise. The manual pump will not raise it either. I unbolted the 15/16 nut for the cab lock thinking the cab lock was stuck but it still will not raise. Any suggestions? is there a way to test the pump?
