electrical...... now that may NOT be just a "bit" of work thing you will end up with. ..... course that matters your knowledge on Auto electronics. Bit for you may be an insurmountable obstacle for others.

This rigs are a good hint that soon... real soon...... auto/truck technicians will be Electronic and computer Guru's primarily. Granted they will still need to be or pair up with good ol' Engine Tranny Guru's of the past to get things fully operational. So far the electronics wear way way faster then the mechanical does. (wiring connections etc.) and leave us used vehicle owners with a confusing mess.

All the TM's for A0 and A1's? are posted here on this board. Go to First page of Steel soldiers. First forum is TM section. Search FMTV in that forum and Post will come up with links to most all the TM's that are downloaded to the server here. I found a few sections missing but found them on web. The A2 trucks (Not as many in civilian hands) those TM's have not and may not be released AND they are not in a PDF format. They are an actual "software"/"hardware" system. There is no paper.

Hi I’m new to the site and have an issue with my 1078A1 P2 , my cab lift is very very slow I have plenty of fluid in it and have drained the system and refilled it but still no good , is there a relief valve or something else I’m missing

Could be the air hyd pump needs a rebuild. Do you see any puffs of vapor coming out of the vent on the pump when its running?

It would be best to do a little searching and then if you can't find your answer start a new thread. Tagging onto one that is basically completely unrelated will make a lot of potential good info get lost.

None at all

good suggestion... before starting new thread though.. if another is on same topic that gives you most what you need.... then just add to that one your follow up questions. This keeps the chain of good info in one place.

PS- a lot of time when one searches.... what you first find is better key words to search with and not actual answers "YET" New key words will get you closer and closer. BTW using Advanced Search feature of your favorite search engine (Google Bing etc.) works better than most bulletin board search engines. You can specify this website.... use FMTV and LMTV as one of your search words though.
